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:
If I understood your post correctly, you connected the Sony to your computer using the computer's built-in Realtek audio. Well, Realtek pretty much bites the big one (sucks) for sound quality.
I noted this in my review of the Berkeley Alpha DAC Serice 2, where the Realtek output sounded so disappointing that it made a proper evaluation of the Berkeley DAC difficult.
My music computer has an Intel motherboard and 2nd generation low power i3 CPU, and uses JRiver Media Center.
Happy listening.
