I'm looking for an inexpensive stereo receiver as well for my office. The problem is that I need a digital input (either Toslink or coax) because my computer's sound card has only digital outs. Any suggestions?

Viridian, you make a very good point regarding external DAC + receiver. I usually prefer that route, except for my office system I think simpler is better. But it is very worthy of consideration. Thanks.

You might pick up a NAD (7225/7240, etc.) on Audiogon or Ebay. IMO, NAD is the best sound for the buck and better than a lot of stuff that's more expensive. If my house caught on fire, I would grab my old 7225 and then my speaks.
