. . . of what computer audio is like. Once you get the files onto disc, nothing could be easier. If that's what you mean by "getting ready" (i.e., getting the files onto the disc), then, yes, that's a bit of an effort, but OTOH, it shouldn't be overblown. I mean, any subsequent time you play that recording, it's already there, so, indeed, all you have to do is "hit a button on the remote and get high quality music". It's WAY easier than any other method of playback IMHO. (Because I'm a multi-channel kind of guy, I use HDMI connectivity, rather than USB - it seems that at least half the discussion over on the PC Audio forum here deals with USB problems - real or imagined!) I also think that the supposed problems with RFI in playing back music files via computer are totally overblown, especially compared to other methods of playback. In fact, one of my CD/Universal players has a fan, which is WAY more audible than any RFI noise from computer playback.
C'mon, guys - jump on in! The water's fine!
