Digital out on laptops

I would like to be able to access all my mp3's, wav's, wma's, etc over 802.11g from my laptop in my home theater. Is there a laptop (preferably Dell) that offers a digital audio out that could bypass any cheap internal DACS in the laptop and go direct digital to my stereo?
 
None I know of, but there are USB-port soundcards from M-Audio, Creative, etc. (be sure to get USB2).

Also, there are a bunch of networked audio devices now that can pull MP3 and (some of them) WMA from your PC and output it to your stereo, prices are around $150-250. Sound & Vision maf reviewed a few of them last month.
