XA9000ES or Better Quality for a Streaming
DAC1 is on my short list too. I din't have a dealer to listen to this stuff right now so I will rely on recommendsations and www reviews.

I had considered that but was discouraged at the cost. What was your source? 
Squeeze box + SC885 vs DAC1 vs Digital Link III
Thanks 2chnlben, I watched the utube video and read a few of the posts. You may be right. At first I was completely turned off at the 3k price but then it could replace several components. I still have some reservations about so many things in one...

Gmood1, Do you actually work with S.T. or is the track just sent to a cetralized mixing studio? If you get to work with here directly (please don't take this wrong), is she as hot in real life as she is on the album covers? She sound amazing, I'm ...

That's completely true. Theres also another possibility. You could potentially plug the cards analog outputs directly into an amp or powered speakers (like the Paradigm Studio's) as long as you didn't need to switch too many additional sources. Al...

I'm running a ati type hd4850 right now. Previously I was using a hd3650 with a passive cooler and I discovered it had issues passing audio trough the HDMI port so I had to swap it out. I'm into that one for about $150, a little more than I needed... 
Computer output to DAC, which route?
I tend to agree with the external USB DAC as the route to quality. Howerver, there is a new product soon to be released that has some potential. Check out the Asus HDAV1.3 audio card.

I'm with you on the HTPC. I've done the same thing. I use a video card that passes the audio through the HDMI and I run that to the receiver for decoding and amplification. I may go to a seperate amp when I can and only use the receiver for proces...
