For the price of a good DAC (and an Aiport Express) you could get this...

Someone else mentioned it earlier and I thought it was an excellent idea.
It will get you going straight away with AirPlay (free on that offer) and FM/DAB/Internet radio etc. It also has optical digital, coax digital and USB inputs which will take care of three digital sources on top of what it already offers.
Plug the thing into your modem/router with an ethernet cable and you are good-to-go with a plethora of internet stations, BBC iPlayer, iTunes, Youtube etc.
You can control that lot wirelessly with iPads, iPhones or iPod Touch if you want to. (It's optional.)
Look... Radio 3 in 320K and no wires. (69 pence Tunein Radio Pro app).
The NA7004 also has superb FM when you want that bit of extra quality.
