Ah, that makes more sense. When I saw look-aid, it made it seem as if nothing had even the potential to be better.
I agree with your clarification. I'm just starting to explore PC audio, and the options can make you crazy.
Lately I have been messing around with a HDMI de-embedder. I paid more for .6m of HDMI cable than I did for the little box. So far it has been a frustrating experience. Now, for my pleasure my Oppo 83SE is developing transport problems. I have too much invested in it, not to get it repaired. Luckily I have a CD transport that was built like a tank, other than the transport plastic gearing. It now opens manually.
I'm thinking about returning the HDMI cable and the de-embedder, as I'm finding out that while HDMI may output higher res and DSD, you need a device that has the matching "handshake"[?] to activate it. I have maybe a dozen SACDs and only one DVD-A, it isn't worth screwing around.
