Hey, I love to fiddle sometimes. Many audiophiles seem to love it as well. If I hated fiddling, I wouldn't run vinyl.It's just that PC audio is sorta creepy. There is this *air of mystery* that hovers over PC-based audio and I do not always feel confident enough to trust whatever and/or whoever it is that might be dangling on the unseen end of that internet cable and/or hovering up there in that cloud.
PC audio is not necessarily what I'd call an "anonymous activity". You simply never know if/when someone is watching, recording your every move. When I play my records or CDs, OTOH, the only ones I have to worry about are my physical neighbors and I have specific ways of dealing with them.
