| Why CD players will never be dead Thank you, Steve. I'm streaming Pandora and the ASUS netbook recognizes the V-Link automatically. Is "Kernel Streaming" an option to look for w/i JRiver? No clue as to what a WASAPI plug-in might be. I visted the dppoweramp site. I think I'll wait... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead The discussion on this thread was helpful. I think I'm going to dip my toe in the water of computer audio and sample some stuff from HD Tracks. Looks like I can download FLAC 92/24 music files from them and also get a trial version of JRiver. Do I... | |

| USB to SPDIF Converters Just received a gen 1 V-Link from Audio Advisor. The $99 clearance price was hard to ignore. Using it with a gen 1 V-DAC. Asus netbook via Kimber USB to V-Link to V-DAC via StereoVox Coax. V-DAC via JPS Labs RCAs to pre-amp. I need to do some more... | |

| Is my room 11 x 14, or 11 x 20? Hodu - I think 11x14 is more relevant to your situation than the 11x20. I'm in a ~13 x 15 foot alcove myself. Facing the speakers that are positioned 7-8 ft apart along the long wall (not ideal)the right (13') side wall of the rectangle is missing... | |

| stripped allen wrench screws A 2nd for Sfar's recommendation. Lowes or Home Depot will have it. You can by a set to fit various size "stripped head" screws. Useful tool for other than audio as well. | |

| Why CD players will never be dead To Steve (Audioengr) or anyone else inclined to explain...How is it possible for a copy of a CD played from a computer hard drive to sound better than the original CD? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I would really like to understand what the ... | |
| Basics for connecting PC to stereo I can't help you w/details about the best digital formats or software for storing music on your computer hard drive -if that is what you mean but listening from a computer is pretty easy. I'm just using an ASUS netbook. Kimber cable w/USB from net... | |
