I can see your point, especially in the case of your father, but the OP specifically asked about computer based audio and then proceeds to bend over backwards to convince himself that CD players are truly better. The really sad part is that very few of them understand that the negatives mentioned have nothing to do with the quality of the audio but rather with issues that pertain to computers in general. Issues that effect all computer users and so improvements are always taking place. As far as the sound quality goes, as I understand things based on all the reviews I have read, one of the best, if not the best, DAC on the market is the Linn Klimax, a networked based unit. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61715 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
