Setup question

Currently using imac with all my audio in apple lossless. Would like to go to usb based dac but my audio system is in another room and I cannot directly connect. I'm using a sonos system to access but however it could have better quality and I'd rather not do upgrades to sonos. How can I do this and retain the ability to get music into my ipod from the imac? Buy a new mac mini? Suggestion are appreciated!

James not sure if I understand your question fully but here it goes...

What about using Lacie network storage unit. Connect to network get your
new DAC (Ayre, AudioNote, McIntosh) and you should be able to access files
via USB and transfer music to iPod from iMac.

Or

Get a Time Capsule with automatic wireless backup for your Mac. Available in
500GB and 1TB models.

Actually if a cable run would work for you, you could run an Opticis fiber optic USB cable - thin and flexible and will go a long, long distance.

Just thought of a few additions. I have a hp mediavault I used for business as well as apple router/airport. How would you guys hook this up? Control it/iphone possible? Can I integrate my sonos system with a usb dac? Lots of questions sorry.
