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!

Hmmmmm...that's strange...most of us don't find it THAT difficult to back up our music collections for safety's sake. It's not THAT difficult! And most of us can somehow do the research and implement a computer audio system that at least equals if not exceeds competitively priced CDPs

But...after all this I guess you're right Pettyofficer, computer audio is just too challenging FOR YOU. Nobody is stopping you from NOT adopting it and using your CDP. We just want you to stop complaining about YOUR problems as if they're OURS - we've actually figured it all out - and we'd be happy to share it with you if you would just listen for once.

No need for you to worry about those of us who have had success with what you find so confusing. By and large we're quite happy with what we're hearing, thank you very much!

No...no...no...not more challenging, just ten times more
tasking- especially when compared to simple plug-n-play CD.
I am happy with what I am hearing too! Just confused as to
why I should accept ten times more Tasking for replacement
of CD. Paying for it on top of that is a crime against
humanity! This sounds like something they would make you do in North Korea, or something. Don't tow the Party Line on Computer Audio: you get it, your wife gets it, your
children, your parents...etc. Happy for you, happy to share
Audio Market with you. Support you seizing the Audio Market, and turning it into a North Korean Concentration
Camp? You go ahead and try to touch my Relatives, or my CDs! Working longer, and harder for your Music is your choice. Don't deny someone the opportunity to work shorter,
and smarter with way less tasking for their Music! Three
Hour High Rez. Download indeed- this must be a joke! You
are "NOT" welcome very much.

Petty, neither I nor anyone else is denying you anything and I'm not quite sure why you continually state this. Show me the proof that anyone who has adopted computer audio is trying to deny you anything.

These are market forces, pure and simple. You seem to feel we're all out to get you but I promise we're not trying to harm you or your family.

"Support you seizing the Audio Market, and turning it into a North Korean Concentration Camp?" LOL! Come to think of it not much is funny about a concentration camp, but I assume your intent here was humor.

People, listen. You could dismiss the smooth stylings and gnostic, free-form verse poetry of brother Petty as the incoherent ramblings of a troubled and delusional soul. But before you do -- before you find yourself in the not-too-distant future writhing in consuming agony, together with your family and everyone you care about, in the Korean concentration camps erected by our malignant corporate and/or machine overlords -- just remember. You were warned.

Oh, and one more thing, keep your hands off of his pants.

Why not just get a server with it all built in Petty? Bypass all the computer issues.

There is the Weiss MAN202. I have not heard it, but know the DAC section it is based on which is very good. Control it all from an iPad. Sorted.
