ps audio bridge

In the interest of full disclosure. There have been reports of reasonably intelligent people with basic computer skills, throwing in the towel in despair trying to get the bridge to work (I personally know one). There is some element of randomness involved in how much it will take to get it up and running. One personal experience (negative or positive) is no guideline for what any particular new user can expect to encounter.

I think I am going to get the bridge along with the ps audio dac. What would be a good netbook and wi fi router to purchase, thanks

I believe a netbook has no disc drive. You will need a drive to rip CDs. Get a laptop. Best to check computeraudiophile for advice on computer/storage/networking hardware in an music system application.

Good point Edorr. Netbooks do not have disc drives. Since I already have multiple computers, the Netbook was a very affordable solution to be used as a dedicated server. Kedoades will definitely need a drive for ripping his CDs. Of course laptops are more expensive than Netbooks, but you can still find some pretty good deals. Also, the laptop will allow you more RAM.

I have a budget of about 4 grand. I can get the ps audio with bridge used for about 2900, thats leaves just over 1 grand for computer wi fi router, and cables, if you guys can stir me in the right direction as to drive for cd ripping and cables wi fi router ect. that would be helpful. Also, what is the best way to get my music from cd's to the computer, software? Sorry for all the questions, and thanks for all your help
