| Is computer audio a bust? 09-13-14: CerrotYou guys will find that usb is the poorest interface. Glad to see the experiment because the masses were given USB from the beginning and with blinders firmly installed, have never looked past it. The belly button interface - every... | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? 08-13-14: After_hrs Electrical synergy that translates to emotional and component harmony is key. As we all know a speaker is only as good as what the amplifier is doing for it primarily and what the room is doing additionally. Absolutely! Amp rol... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Clio, keep us posted on your findings. I like my Aries. I am still screwing around with things. I run a faux NAS via a Mac Mini using Minimserver and have wondered if dedicated, audiophile grade NAS would be better in terms of SQ.My gut still tell... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 09-10-14: JoecaseyWe all drive sport cars for a reason. I enjoy the art/involvement of driving.

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD As music servers become more robust and user friendly I believe computers may become less prominent for an audio source and USB may go away.
