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!

The more you speak on this subject Pettyofficer the more I wonder if
1 you are joking?
2 you are a lillte mad?

There is nothing to "design around". Things are always developing. It sounds like you should do a little research. I don't see how any OS is "dragging you down" unless you are using windows 98!

To quote you "They can only sabotage computer audio at every turn". What does that actually mean? Is that like a CD player sabotaging your ability to play a film on DVD?

You may be giving up on computer audio, but there are still plenty windmills left. Mount your horse and onwards!

Hi Pettyofficer,
Well, I'll bite. I don't have much pull, but among other things, I buy Computers (pc) for a living. I spend enough to get their attention (few million), but realistically have little pull. I buy Acer/Gateway, HP/Compaq, Dell and a bit of Asus. In Acer, I do know some fairly high level people. I don't know what you are thinking about instead of an operating system, but lay it out, i'll take it up the ladder... I agree with you about alot that you say... but realize these companies operate on lazer thin margins, there must be a market or you are correct, they have little interest.
So, please list in order of importance, what you would like to see for your music server, realizing that the lower points, might not be looked at, at all.
I will do the best I can and report back... It could certainly take months.

Chadeffect, I think we have both taken Pettyofficer's bait. The guy is either off his rocker, trolling or simply frustrated because even though he's an engineer he ain't intelligent enough to "clean up their O.S. mess".

After all, any normal person who really felt this way about computer audio would just not bother coming to this forum at all - kinda like I don't go to home theatre forums.

I'm sure he's having a chuckle - and actually I am too!

I have to agree with Chadeffect. I have been following this thread for the shear entertainment value of it and it seems to me that one of Pettyofficer's cables is malfunctioning, or at least there is a loose connection somewhere. I hesitated to use exclamation marks.
