Is computer audio a bust?

In recent months, I have had several audio acquaintances return to CDPs claiming improved SQ versus their highly optimized computer transports (SS drives, external power supplies, etc, etc).

I wanted to poll people on their experiences with computer "transports." What variables have had the most impact on sonics? If you bailed on computers, why?

I personally have always believed that the transport, whether its a plastic disc spinner or computer, is as or more important than the dac itself and thus considerable thought and energy is required.

Agear, I'm sorry, I said goodby in my last post, If you like, you can find me on the Tara Labs cable thread, I will accomadate all your questions there, I'm done here!

That makes about as much as much sense as rambling about Tara labs cables on a computer audio thread...

Guido, it was not meant to be inflammatory. I invited him to contribute more specifics relevant to this thread. He refused and instead offered an invitation to the very thing that multiple other posters deemed a distraction. C'est la vie.
