Well, tomorrow I go pick up a Phillips PSC805 Aurillium External Audio Processor it's a bit out of date but from the reviews I read it should do exactly what I want which is dramatically improve my sound quality coming from my laptop. And do it with the least hassle. It is USB powered so no AC cord. It doesn't 5.1 (which I will most likely never use) and it's small and cool looking etc.
I'm also going to add an external DVD/CD player burner unit in an Aluminum case (the Player in the lap to vibrates the whole machine. I don't have a DVD burner for any of my desktops so it can do double duty.
Along with that and as a way to safe gaurd my Music files I'm going to create two 40-80 Gig hard drives so that each file is mirrored on each one.
Everything can be run firewire or USB into my laptop while still being protected from the laptop crashing.
Plus if I do it right the four mini units can look pretty cool sitting ona shelf next to my 5 foot tall rack of Pioneer.
OR at least that is the threoy. It will also give us a little travel stereo with the addition of a pair of speakers for the Bed and Breakfast room or Motel room. I have any number of Camera Bags and backpacks that will hold everything in nice padded comfort.
