Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved

Unable to respond to, "Mach2Music and Amarra: Huge Disappointment"- Thread. Other Members take free pop-shots!
Apparently some have more Freedom Of Speech than others! I
don't know how many times I have said it, I want Computer
Audio to succeed! It will only succeed if Computers are designed from the ground up to reproduce Music (Same minimum standard applied for Equipment of ALL Audio Formats)! This is common sense Audio Engineering Design. Bandaid Modifications cannot be substituted for absence in design to produce Music! Design it right to EARN the right to become a New Audio Format- same as all other Audio Formats! No Freebee's, No Cutting Corners! Lack of design is what's causing such varied results in S.Q. between
listeners of Computer Audio. I see about 50% negative
responses here on these Threads. It will continue to happen unless you fix it! Blaming me won't help! I am an
Engineer, and I can read results! 50/50 success/ failure
rate- you have an inherit Engineering Design Flaw for the
reproduction of Music via Computers! Shock! Suprise- since
they were never designed for Music! So when is someone finally going to properly design the Equipment/Computer
(From the ground up) for Computer Audio? Do we continue
to treat any real criticism as "HERESY" in the lack of
design in Computer Audio for Music? You tell me what I am
allowed to talk about, and we will both know!

There are any number of music servers on the market that are essentially just that - dedicated computers designed and optimized for music playback.

Foster_9- as I have said, I want Computer Audio to succeed.
Certainly NOT trying to deter you from Computer Audio AT
ALL! Just believe you deserve more bang for your buck out
of Computer Audio- same as everyone. There is real potential here , but the weakest link is the Computer. It
simply is not designed for Music, and many take offense
when I demand an actual design effort in the equipment of
a New Format. I have demanded no less with CD Players, SACD
Players, DVD-Audio Players, Turntables...etc. These earned New Format Status because the players were designed from the ground up to reproduce Music- that costs Manufacturer's money! No Bandaids, no Ad-lib, no after
thought Modifications to make a Tool (Computer) perform an
application that it wasn't designed for! Everything that we
listen to gets bottlenecked through this weakest point.
Some success with S.Q., but half of listeners end up with
failure. This is unreliability in S.Q., and lack of design for Music in the Computer is causing this hit or miss! I
wouldn't be discouraged from persuing Computer Audio, I use
it with decent results. I just know that it can be designed
with more reliable, and consistent S.Q.- and really get our
money's worth. Why everyone on Audiogon detests this with
personal attacks...??? Failure will keep happening unless you fix the Design. Do nothing, it fails enough times, and
people will learn to detest the New Format. Up to you to take the initiative to keep the New Format going. It isn't
going to succeed in a vacuum, contrary to popular opinion!

The Music Vault is more or less plug and play,and it's rather expensive,then you can buy an overpriced dac
That was easy

arrest you for using 18 exclamation points in your example above? Is this your common sense idea of leading by example? Aren't you special!
