Well - if you have a Creative Audigy card, you're not really in a position to bash computer sound reproduction. They are pretty awful. If you read my post more carefully, you'll see some suggestions for cheap sound cards that are much much better than the Audigy and compare very well with CD players costing four times their price. You certainly don't need to spend 50k to get good computer sound. MOTU units only cost around £1000. -- Codmate ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Codmate's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7154 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32993
