Well, for $200 you could just get a new receiver with a USB input.

It's the method I use (though with a much pricer receiver). The receiver loads a USB Audio codec when you're connected to it, I just tell my playback software to use that codec (only have to do this once, unless I've switched to another codec while 'offline') , and it's all good.

Not really portable, though...

I tried one of those once and it was full of jitter.

Nice low end, though.
