Yep, your best bet is to get a soundcard with either type of digital connection and run that to the receiver. The sound quality should be at least as good as plugging your mp3 player directly into the receiver. Depending on your ears and how much you care, it will likely not be as good as CD-quality due to the mp3 compression, but that has nothing to do with the connection.
