Hard Drive/Computer Audio at the SHOW and CES

I read there was going to be a lot of new computer/hard drive/memory audio stuff at the SHOW and CES, like Wavelength, new VRS stuff, new USB DAC's, etc. but I haven't been able to find any coverage on computer audio type systems in particular. What gives? I thought this would be a big year for computer audio. Has anybody been able to find any news?

Wdrazek, I am sure my ears are older than yours, but I still can hear lossless and WAV differences. I am always perplexed that others cannot.

Hack, I have known colleagues who still fail to backup their hard work on computers, so I am not shocked that people would fail to backup their music. I have always used Macs and have never experienced a hard-drive failure but will always backup everything.

Davemitchell, I largely take this on the advice of others I respect, but I heard a cd burned in lossless and WAV played off a server. The WAV was clearly better with both a cleaner top end and a better sense of the soundstage. I had thought that lossless was as good a WAV up until that time and until recently had found cd servers to be inferior in music reproduction.
