Jon L,I read about your setup in the 6Moons article (linked off the Slim Devices forum). I have been investigating the various computer-based options, currently leaning toward a SqueezeBox. I don't mind having a PC in the room though, so if I could omit the SB, that money could go elsewhere. I learned about the Foobar software from the Empirical Audio site. But they seem to imply their USB-S/PDIF converter and an active preamp are required for such a system to truly sound hi-end. I'm wondering about your experience.
You state "no active preamp." Are you using volume control from your soundcard? (Also, I did a search for "Lynx 2B Pro sound card" and could not find anything. Do you have a link?)
It sounds like you are not using an external dac? How does that work? And, I'm not familiar with a PCI connection or DB25 interface.
Basically, I want to know if I can go from a PC to a DAC (maybe even omit that?) to my amp - and have it sound good.
Thanks for any help you can give. If you think it would be better to email me directly, my email is: steve@vinsons.ws
(I tried to send an email direct to you, but was getting an error message.)
