Question Lossless music in a stereo system

I'm from Hanoi, Vietnam and very happy to meet all of you here.
Please help me to find some solutions for my problem:

1. I have:
- 200GB of lossless music in my IBM T60
- Foobar2000
- Denon Integrated amplificator PMA-1650AL
- A pair of Sound Dynamics RTS-11 150W (API Canada).
- about 200 USD.
2. I'd like:
- The best possible stereo music on my system.

My questions:
- What kind of equipment I have to buy (DAC or USB DAC)?
- What brand of this equipment (Creative, Onkyo IMHO)?

I’m a newbie here and really need your advises and recommendations.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best wishes,
P.S. Sorry for my poor English.

You need to upgrade your source. Because you have all your music on your computer, a DAC would suit your needs best. The more money you can shell out for a DAC, the better the music will sound. In fact, it will dramatically affect the detail and clarity of the sound. There are a lot of great DACs out there. Be sure to keep an eye on the FS forums here because lots of great stuff pops up at great prices.

A Keces 151 might just be perfect for your budget. Its a great DAC. There is one on Audiogon here:
