If you really want to go for a clean audio route, get an external DAC (digital to audio converter) which will plug in to the USB port of your computer and convert the audio to a clean digital signal. They are quite popular among headphone enthusiasts, so you probably will find the better ones and good opinions on some if you looked on those types of websites. www.headfi.com is a great forum to start.
Good luck!
what about recording though? I do have an input stereo jack on my home PC, but I need something that will record clean. So I think I will have to buy a new soundcard regardless.
Any soundcards you recommend that has an optical out with a good quality input for recording?
To give an update, I am approaching setting up the studio.
I am going to be going with the M3s that I currently am using for a centre channel (in parallel), and order some M2s to replace the M3s for centre channel duty.
I will basically just be recording beats for now, not any vocals or anything so I think the M3s will do just fine. and I really don't want to have 2 pairs of M22s in my house! hahah
If I find myself doing more vocals and instrumental recordings, I will probably get some M60s to replace the M22s, and move the M3s upstairs in the kitchen, and move the M22s into the studio. But for now I can just master the beats in my studio, then play them on the M22s and EP500 to see if I need to fix anything.
I have a backup plan for everything! Right now, the wife loves $300/pair M2s instead of $1000 pair M60s!
Hopefully in the next couple months my sig will read "M22s M3s M2s QS8s EP500"

I found a midi card on musiciansfriend.com. Hopefully they will ship to canada, haven't checked into them that much.
The card has gotten rave reviews, and has optical out. Man am I ever looking forward to having a home studio with M3 monitors. Especially with drum beats, the M3s will sound awsome.

I recommend the MOTU Traveler (http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/traveler) as an external Firewire audio device. It can output and input pretty much anything you need. Perhaps a little on the expensive side, but it's worth it.
Personally, I just use the built-in optical in/out on my G5. :P

I think I am going the route of an external USB interface that has MIDI I/O and also 2 XLR inputs if I want to record a single mic (for a vocalist or something). It has two 1/4" outputs for audio, which I need to get an amp that has 1/4" inputs and 5-way binding posts for outputs (to my M3s). The only problem is, I can't find a decent one for less than $300 CAD. Any suggestions?
