DAC or CDP for computer music system?
Hi Pardales, did you audition the Apogee with the USB input? I hear this is the way to go with a PC based system. The Wavelength USB DAC's are also rated highly. 
How's the quality of the HDCD's from China/Ebay
I bought a Radiohead HDCD from China several months ago. The quality of the packaging and artwork was very good, with the exception that some of the song titles were amusingly misspelled.The disc itself sounds very good, although I suspect that so... 
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals Performance DC
I think the new record has a real Crazy Horse feel to it. I need to listen to it more, but I wouldn't rate it as his best work, or his worse. 
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals Performance DC
I saw him recently here in Los Angeles, at the Henry Fonda Theater and he also had a very good night. This band seems to be the best he's played with yet, outside of Whiskeytown - of course. 
Best CD player for under $6000 used?

2002 Warner/Rhino-Original Black Sabbath 1970-1978
Yeah, I have it. It sounds great. I'm thinking of picking up the "Black Box" 8 CD set, which has each of the individual albums from this period. 
CD player with no mechanical noise
Audiomeca Keops. It's a top loading player that uses a highly modified CEC belt drive transport. It can be found used for less than $1000.00. It has a well balanced, non fatiguing sound that is very musical. 
What Ever Happened To The Krell SACD Standard?
They had to stop making it after Philips discontinued the transport.
