My experience after lost of 20k$

I concur with mgattmch.
I am sorry you have not had a good experience with PC/digital. But, I can assure you there are better ways to stream music.

I can't help but reply - I recently heard the Mach III by Phasure, a PC streaming audio to a DAC.  Absolutely stunning in sound.  The inventor has made many tweaks to what a standard PC is - linear power supply, no fans, no video card, removable hard drive, etc, etc.  Then add in his playback software, xxhighend, which optimizes the OS, his DAC and USB cables and you get an incredible system.  For those who have not already made up there mind on PC Audio you can check out the website xxhighend for an incredible amount of information. 

I have a room full of vinyl, cassettes and CDs, not to mention the hardware used to play each of them. I have resisted the urge to buy into the “new” computer audio wave even though I read about the joys of that experience. I simply see it as another attempt to separate me from my money with the promise of more transparency. I empathize with amir57bs’ realization that throwing $20K into PC audio doesn’t guarantee perfect sound. Welcome to the never-ending search! In any case, I prefer to wait for the next big idea. Will it be MQA, or maybe wireless everything, who knows?

P.S. Maybe my comments belong in the “Rant” category that another poster just suggested for this forum. Sorry, it’s been a long day.
