suggest laptop for music storage
Jc51373-Per your man Gordon:"USB is limited to 16 bit data and 32K, 44.1K and 48K data rates. Higher data and sample rates would require Firewire or USB 2.0, which there is no specification for either at this time. Custom products are capable of t...

Steve- Jc51373's DAC uses a TDA1543 chip. It only has a USB 1.1 input.Jc51373- Since you're an expert on upsampling, how many computer based upsamplers have you tried?

Steve- thanks for your comments.Some people who have purchased very expensive NOS USB DACs,which can only process 16/44.1 signals, like to make generalizations about PC upsampling. They can't enjoy hi rez 24/96 recordings either. 
Memory Player vs Dedicated PC-TopUSB Conv and DAC
The only thing I've learned so far, is the Memory Player needs better dealers than Audiooracle if they want to be successful.

"I'll guarantee 100% that it does. The Pace-Car has an I2S output, which has much lower jitter than any S/PDIF output. It also uses Superclock4 or Ultraclock, which are lower jitter clocks."Steve- I run the SB3 through the DL into a TacT RCS's AES...

"Kana813 - it seems like a lot of money, but when you consider that I plan to do a shootout with the Memory Player and expect to win, maybe not....it's that good."Steve N.- I hope you prove your point against the MP, then let's have a shootout wit...

Steve- very interesting, but like the boldercables mods, it a lot money to invest in a SB3.

Ecruz- For less money than the boldercables digital mod and PSU, I can get a new Vista laptop and a Trends USB to SPDIF converter. Heard this combo at a friend's home, and it blows away a wireless or wired SB3 with or without a linear PSU.

I have never had any connection problems with my SB3(XP, Linksys WRT54G wireless router), but the sound quality still doesn't equal any of my transports. 
Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better
You don't need to change your USB interface with Vista,but it may not pass 24/96, so you couldn't use Vista's upsampler. 
What is new with the Memory Player?
Scaena1- according to a NP dealer Audiooracle:"The Memory Player's DAC is still in development and is not shipping at this time" Is the MP w/DAC you've demo'd a one of a kind prototype?Does it use the new AK4397 32 bit DAC? 
What is new with the Memory Player?
"With Fios, Satellite TV, and other such services high speed down loads of content is the future."Audiooracle-If this is the future, how is the MP's "ace in the hole"featue, RUR, going to be of any benefit?

"Does Kana work for you?"Audiooracle aka the Audio Doctor-Very funny. You're the only shill in this thread.I don't sell, don't own and don't plan to own any Aplhifigear. I've never had the pleasure of meeting Alex, never talkedwith him on the phon...

"The fact that you can take apart a $32,000.00 pair of Avalon Edilon Diamonds and build your own knock off version for the sum of its parts which would probably cost you less than $6,000.00!"Audio Doctor-The tweeters cost $2600. each. Pretty tuff ...
