How can my setup be better?
I think you're doing it. A digital out is a digital out. I certainly wouldn't get a U24. 
Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006
I agree with some of your points. Alienware, and the whole flashing neon light crowd, is simply juvenile. Then again, the only people (barring the video editing crowd) that require the ultimate performing computers are generally the juvenile gamer... 
Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006
My guess is you were nearly flamed on another forum for suggesting alienware...one of the biggest ripoffs in the computing world (it's so bad, it almost reminds me of high end audio). The other reason is probably because you may not realize that t... 
Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A
I just replaced VA Bachs with Beethoven (not the Grands). I've found the more power they get, the better they sound (no big surprise I guess). I tried a few amps with the Bachs and it did make a difference in terms of dynamics. I've only tried my ... 
Audiophile USB to PCM
Winchell, I'm interested to hear what you think about the Audiophile. I'm still using it for the simple reason that I don't feel like shelling out more money for a product that isn't all the way there. We are very much in the early growing pains i... 
If Rowland made PC cases.....
Not sure if you've already chosen a case, but I just saw this review up on Tomshardwarehttp://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20050614/index.html 
EMI Records, Copy Control, High-end CD players
Thom, I don't have an emmlabs player and luckily haven't had any problems playing any discs in any of my players. I too despise this "copy protection" which doesn't protect anything--personally I think the sooner these giant music companies either... 
Managing and distributing music
The device you are looking for is called a computer. 
advice on hiding cables
Pull off the baseboards, use a router to make a nice groove in the back and run the cables in the groove--this way there is no sheet rock repair. If you do it carefully, you shouldn't even need touch up paint. 
Do materials alter frequencies and speed?
Rsbeck, the scientist in me thanks you. I enjoy the logic and your insistance on fundamental scientific principles which are mandatory in every field (besides high-end audio). A refusal to perform an ABX test if possible (or the suggestion to perf... 
m-audio firewire 410 sound quality?
Maybe I'm confused. While the Apogee is a DAC and so is my M-Audio, if I'm just running USB (or firewire in this case) into the DAC and then just a digital out to my processor, I'm bypassing the card's DAC, correct? As I'm a student, I don't own a... 
m-audio firewire 410 sound quality?
Dueler, I have an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile and have been saying the exact same thing for nearly a year now. I only use the digital out, but there is a very obvious lack of dynamics and clarity. I have been quite disappointed by this thing becau... 
A "Unique" Voice...
Even though I love him, I'd have to add Van Morrison to this list. And if anyone is interested in two strange voices together (Van Morrison & Sinead O'Conner) in what is surely the oddest/worst duet I've ever heard check out this album. They s... 
In Dash CD Players R.I.P.?
Look, this is probably going to be the last time I bother saying this, particularily to one of Cwlondon's posts. It really is no skin off of my back, I just figured I would try to help in this forum situation...has anyone complaining of mp3 sound ... 
Latest iPod Configuration -- Any New Hope?
Cwlondon, a few comments:First, I'm using an ipod with APS and APX mp3 into Shure e5's unamped. I Tried the "portable" amp thing with a few different headphones and the whole setup drove me nuts.The reason why I am using mp3 and not .wav is becaus...
