My experience after lost of 20k$

I am not happy because I have paid more than 20k$ for PC Audio.
if you like sound of Audionote/kondo/living voice horn/old tannoy/carbon cable then I 100% recommend you to forget PC Audio and just go for CEC TL-X 3.0 transport.

do not go for PC Audio.
if you should go for PC audio just do this:
macbook pro 15" MJLQ2LL/A or MJLT2LL/A model 2015
Wavelength USB DAC Crimson or Cosecant
Purist Audio 30 Anniversary USB Cable 1m

remember I have tested all pc , caps , reclockers all cables all thing in this market , do not pay for them.

Maybe all he needs is to burn in his USB cable a little more. Lmao.

There maybe a valid point underneath everything here.  PC Audio can be very good, but at best, it may equal, but not exceed, the best disc based replay.  Frequently, it doesn’t meet the standard of disc based replay.  I would put the cash in the increasingly difficult task of finding a good CDP, and use file based replay as a less expensive and perhaps more convenient alternative.

I stream from my Mac mini to an Ayre QB-9 DSD and am extremely happy with the performance.  I listen to ripped hi-res music as well as Tidal streaming and haven’t turned on my Esoteric DV-50 in almost a year which tells me all I need to know.

PC audio is the present and future.

I have Forsell Air Reference CDT, Aqua La Diva transport, Auralic Aries, Lampizator Pacific..I should say, the PC audio should be my next step..Auralic Aries is doing a great job for its so affordable selling price. If your water is salty, doesn't mean everybody's is.
