Thank you ROD for setting up this new section.
I have been using a PC as my CDT for the last 6 - 8 months. Configurations have changed somewhat over this period of time. I have :
1) VIA Mini-itx Me6000 motherboard with 512MB RAM
2) 200GB seagate 7200.7 HDD (a bit noisy though, 160GB 7200.7 better. Had a very bad experience with Spin point - bought 3 with nidec motor but all very very loud)
3) 7" VGA touchscreen with long umbilical chord (approx. 3m maybe)
4) Morex 2699 mini-itx case
5) Foobar 2K with ASIO driver
6) All songs ripped with EAC in full WAV format
The audio passes as data through USB to
1) a modified Apogee Big Ben clock conditioner (modified by Empirical Audio)
2) then to my TACT RCS 2.0
3) then to my AN DAC 1.1 (heavily modified)
4) then to my linestage (DIY based on Allen Wright's FVP)
5) then to the Rives PARC room correction
6) then to the power amp (DIY based on Transcendant sound T8)
7) then to my speakers (DIY Diatone MB610)+ seas helper tweeter crossed high (maybe 12 ~ 15K)
8) power conditioners - 2 X PS Audio P300 + Eaxtpower E-15a
This setup replaced the Theta Pearl (modified with a trichord clock 3). At one time, I also had an RME DIGI 8/96 sound card modded with an LC clock 3 running on battery. The current setup sounds better (beautiful vocals & bass not too shabby too). The TACT is in bypass mode. I use the PARC more often now.
