Thanks, Rich.  This is a great link to bookmark for future reference.  :thumb:

Somewhere along the line I'll make the move to a computer front end, I'm just too confused to make an intelligent choice right now.  :duh

Im with you on this.  :?

I still think its just a fad like the 8-track :lol:

Just like when audiophiles were pining about the demise of vinyl records with the introduction of CDs, we'll be pining about CDs as we move towards computer based software :roll:

Yea, I was thinking the same thing.
But I'll be here to take all those worthless CD's off your hands though. Call me whenever you're ready for me to bring the truck to haul them off.  :rofl:

PC can have just as good sound as Mac. Mac OSX operating system is nice, but so is Win7. Using ASIO driver, SQ is excellent from PC, but it depends on the output hardware. If you have M2tech on the input of your dac the computer choice is less important.

A PC is much less money. A HTPC type computer is adequate for playing music.

Mac is cool like Obama, so you will feel hip and young.



    Ah yes hip and young but clueless. Mac = Obama, no Mac for me.

Bob - I really expected to see a picture of my 15 year old daughter there (but she is far prettier than that llama).

I don't have a picture of your daughter, however I do have one of my eight year old little female bundle of energy. There's more drama in that little body than there should be.  :lol:

Here's the Llama finger dance that all the kids seem to know when they are young.
