Best USB cable +/- $500
I'd love to consider one of the Rigdge Street audio cables, (respected by people who should know), but my opinion about certain products in the mid and high end is that I'm just not willing to spend that kind of money in my current income bracket....

Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Pettyofficer, take some advice and calm down. Microsoft and Apple don't give a care about high end audio reproduction and likely never will. A computer fitting your description will not come from Microsoft or Apple. It will have to be from another...

Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
I have considered the Mini not more expensive Mach2Music machine. I had a laptop and several dacs before which I sold. I want to get back into computer audio but it's hard to know what to do. It's confusing trying to figure what to buy to get the ... 
Dont laugh
Al, as usual good catch. I too thought in his post Grannyring was comparing xlr to rca, I just wasn't sure. I felt that if that was accurate, it would skew the results.
