ok, so like many ppl i have my computer hooked up to my stereo, not the cheap way either, i went with a xitel hi-fi link pro, but the kicker is that the sound is terrible compared to my cd player, not only is it much quieter, but it is much less dynamic, less full, basically flat sounding. i've tried both analog and digital connections to no avail...

is there any way to improve this? i would like a sound comparable to my cd player as i have a large library on my computer (near 3000 tracks).

anyway my system is as follows for a reference point:

yamaha rx-v630
adcom gfa-555
nad c b21bee
def tech bp2002tl

i know there has to be a less than $500 solution to make my computer not sound like a bag of ass.

thanks
