Alex, I have A-B'ed the CDSD to EMM DAC and my PC with a Lynx sound card which allows it to be slaved to the DAC clock. Whilst I did not expect it to be this way, I must say that in regards to the sound for CD material ie PCM 16/44.1 , the two systems were indistinguishable. My friends who have very trustworthy ears have confirmed my impressions.
Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?
From my limited reading it seems that a cd burned to a hard drive will be a bit for bit copy because of the software programs used to rip music files. A transport has to get it right the first time and feed the info to a dac. Wavelength audio has some interesting articles about computer based systems and have made a strong statement that a transport will never be able to compete with a hard drive>dac combo.
