While the audio is good I don't think you'll ever get the quality you would with a CD player or turntable connected directly to the receiver but still very good I digitized my music collection, which of course means I have to use the computer as the source but whatever sound quality I sacrifice is worth the convenience, ease of finding the music I want at any given time, and the ability to easily create playlists.

Using your receiver and Bose will be better than any PC speakers. Also using a program called SRS Audio Sandbox that enhances the audio and presents a noticeable difference. Have an older Denon that doesn't have an optical in but once we move planning on upgrading the receiver. Several good reviews of this card that details the differences with Creative. Just got a HT Omega Claro Plus+ sound card and really impressed with the quality, it's based on the C-Media CMI8788 chipset that is designed first for music and videos although will do well with games as opposed to Creative that is designed primarily for games.

I use my computer for the music source, Country not Classical but both C words, and am running it through my receiver in a 2.1 configuration, i.e., 2 bookshelfs and a sub.
