Audio using home computer

I have a dell desk top computer. I use iTunes to organize my music. Currently I listen to the music on the Harman Kardon speakers that came with the computer. I'm ready to invest in some high end equipment. Is there equipment out there that interfaces with a computer so that you can store CDs on a harddrive and download music from the internet (iTunes)? I want to use this in my office at home. Any suggestions or places to look?

Peter,
I really don't mean to whizz on your barbeque, but this is incompatible. I'm not being snobbish, just know and understand what downloaded music sounds like in comparison to well recorded source. If you go this route, certain upgrades need be made to the computer sound card for acceptable results. Probably the Swan amplified speakers would give you better than expected results. Good luck.

If your computer has a digital output, you can get an inexpensive Home Theater receiver and go into it's digital input and get the speakers you want. If no digital outs are present, you can take the mini-plug out that now goes to the HK speakers and use a converter to RCA then send the signal to any preamp and amp combination or receiver.
