| Is computer audio a bust? I actually think you are all being a bit unfair. None of you have tried anything other than the USB. And you're knocking me. Unreal. I'm not asking anyone to trash anything and there can be no other analogy. I'm saying, rather than something "univ... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Sorry. You need a desktop for a sound card. Just noticed you have a notebook. | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Get a sound card. ESI juli@ for $149. Spdif out. All you need, plus a coax cable into your dac. | |
| What would you upgrade? I would replace your dac (definitely one of the most limiting items in your stack) with the Berkeley Dac on sale here for just under $2,000. That leaves you $3k and, even though I like the rainmakers in a small, nearfield system, spend $3k on the ... | |

| Is computer audio a bust? Computer audio via USB is an absolute BUST! USB is for connecting peripherials - not for music! | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs I think the biggest part is the computer savy part. If you are very computer literate, its a snap. If you have to call someone to download a program or install a printer, stick with a CD player. | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Guys - the adds started after the show, last year. Come vist but dont drive - no place to park. Fugheddaboudit. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Another MF - my kW SACD PLayer. I can understand 'bust' but a manufacturer who says its fixed, sends it back and its the same? They couldnt check it before it went back? MF is so off my list. | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Jackie Blue - Ozark Mountain Daredevils. | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Lew-if youre thinking of going $1,600 for the bybees, my thought was you were better off with 8 of the stillpoints ($250 x 8 = $2k). My thought was if you were investing $1,600 in bybee, which is so subjective and debated, $400 more for something ... |
