In Reply to: Who says ordinary cpmputer audio sounds better than a cd player? posted by fmak on August 31, 2014 at 09:23:50:
..."Newer vs. older technology"........ People have the natural presumption that newer is better......In the case of digital audio, I think the best sounding technology was the 1990s vintage CD players and DACs..... The Wadia 9 and Prism DA-2 still being the standard bearers.
With the exception of computers feeding external DACs via optical link, I have not been overly impressed with PC-based audio.
