I got an Acer Netbook hooked up to a Dayton USB DAC currently using iTunes. "Satisfied" enough with the current setup to allow me eventually ditch the Harman Kardon Player and store all my CD on the hard drive. Now which player to use ? Itunes, foobar2000, winamp ? any other suggestions.

I used iTunes. IMHO, kung CD quality lang naman, better to concentrate on the hardware (DAC in particular) to get the most out of your system. iTunes by itself is a pretty decent player, coupled with the Airplay capability of apple stuff + Airport express, you have a more than decent playback system.
Free pa . . as opposed to arguably better software players pero you do need to shell out moolah. . .
If you have time and can hazard a trip to Marikina I can show you a simple streaming digital setup. . .
