Is computer audio a bust?

OK, I'm a CA idiot. What would be the least expensive route for a guy like me to take to have very good CA without using USB? ballpark...

See my system page. I'd use my ASUS X551C notebook.

Get-em Cerrot!, I was made fun of extensivly on this thread for saying all that I have about usb cables and terminations, I was polite as I could be, and explained very well, did not matter, I suppose we know NOTHING, and the mass knows it all, Ha,Ha,LOL!, It's all fun gentleman, do whats best for you, I plan on it.

Cerrot,
By your analogy when the record player was invented they were getting bad sound so someone created ............ I am aware that you know all there is to know about USB and sound and everything audio. I am just a dumb follower of USB. Being delusional and just excepting that this is the best there is because I know no better. Thank you I now see the way and will follow your advice and trash my system and do exactly what you say obi one kenobi. Whew thank the audio gods that I woke up from that nightmare. My system still in tack and sounding great!

"My cables do a staggering 4 pico/farads per foot of capacitance, what does you cables do?"

Got that beat. My own cables are 3.8pF/foot. I agree that this makes a big difference, but so does the silver metallurgy. Just as important if not more.

Cerrot - USB stands for "universal Serial Bus". Not limited to disk drives. When are you going to give up this stupid quest? You obviously don't have a clue as to the latest technology and how good it is.
