Sorry,but all of the comments made here are entierely subjective and relative to the user. Only with elaborate explanations of equipment, music choices and room setup can we begin to start comparing results. Experience with tons of different gear in various systems also helps. That said, the inherent problems with the "patchwork quilt" approach to digital playback, is it's propensity for incompatability. In addition, frustrations and potential problems arise due to the the extra connections that need to be bridged via IC's, PC's etc.. A well designed one box solution is simply easier to deal with and can be as good as any given 2 box design. Results will vary of course. I must say that when I read posts suggesting that computer drives tethered to random DAC's and transpaorts lashed together with expediant cords of "exceptional value" achieve some sort of sonic nrvana, I say, "Enjoy your dementia.":O)
