Looks good, but where do I put my 760GB? This is still a "toy" in the market of other toys. I look forward to something similar for large collections and audiophile sensibilities.
Is this the future of the next CD player

If it is what is the minimum cost with dac to get it to sound as good or better of a audiophile CD player.
Or would you build your own audiophile PC. If so what would be minimum cost to get audiophile results and what components would you use.

I think that what people have already begun to realize with these types of products is that computers have eliminated the need for CD players. Just like Ericrulifson said, even the best products out there right now that try to emulate CD players are limited in space. Nothing beats the add-on capability of hard-drives in computer towers or external drives for laptops, and most certainly NOTHING beats the graphic interface of a mouse and monitor for navigating your vast library of music. As people's music collections keep getting larger on their computers, they will realize that it makes the most sense to turn their PC into their stereo instead of trying to find new components that emulate what CD players do. This is why, in my estimation, CD players are a dying breed. Those of us who grasp this idea and have already started ripping lossless or high-bitrate at least are I think a step ahead of everybody else in terms of realizing this. |
