Think "Bluetooth".

The PC I use for movies and music runs a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and works very well.

Which version of windows do you use? I suggest you use J. River Media Center as your player.

A nice set of articles this month in the rags on USB DAC's and PC based audio in general. The general consensus was stay away from USB. Try SPDIF or FireWire connections if you can fuigure out how to make it work.
