If this has been answered before, I apologize, but I can't find it on the forum.

I'm currently using Windows Media Player>Sonos on an old XP computer with a large external HD I've dedicated to a music server.  After reading the 4 part article in Absolute Sound (of which I understood about 20% ), I'm interested in changing over to MC just because of the improvement in sound quality.  I'm currently using the system for convenience through a pretty high end stereo; I don't have multiple zones.  Currently, I have my computer hard-wired to the Sonos Bridge, which goes wireless to the Sonos Zone Player ZP90.  I bypass the internal DAC in the Sonos Zone Player and go by RCA-terminated digital interconnect into the DAC input on my CD player.

My CD player is a pretty high end unit, and I'd like to continue to use its DAC through the coax input.  My computer and my big stereo are in two different rooms, so I really have to go wireless.  Can someone tell me in simple language (I'm a newbie here and all the acronyms are foreign to me) what I would need to do this?  I've seen people mention the Apple Airport, but it doesn't look like it has a coax output to take a digital signal into my CD player.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I don't really understand your question. It sounds like you have a wireless setup working with WMP right now and you want to go with MC17?
If so just load MC17 onto the XP machine and point it at your existing library. It should just replace WMP. No change to the hardware configuration. The computer is still the output device.
