I finally receive a reason for not going the computer route. The majority of you seem to be afraid of crashes. Rightfully so as they can and do happen. However, since backing up your music to an external hard drive is not difficult to do, what's the worry? I get the vibe that the issue of TIME seems to be the main reason. Considering a library of hundreds of albums, I completely understand why this would be a deterrent.
What about sonics? Has anyone compared a high end cdp to a computer/dac combo? If so, what were your conclusions?
Look, I'm not out to "bash" anyone for doing whatever makes them happy. I simply wanted to know what makes one stick with a cdp considering all of the benefits of a hd/dac.
I've never pressed a topic on this site nearly as relentlessly as this. It's just very curious to me....
So, I take back what I said at the end of my post. If you're happy with what you have, keep it. I appreciate everyone's opinion, and happy listening.
However, deep down, as painful as it may be to admit it......you all know it's coming.
