that it's solely because the USB HD. My USB HD sounds no different from my internal drive on my laptop. My system sounds super. Me thinks it's time for a new laptop and toss the old pc.

It is this kind of post that hinders discussion on better audio from PCs. You system is not his and so why not address possible causes and cures instead of just a blanket statement that you don't want to 'believe' it..
It is well known that Dells don't have good usbs. Why can't you take this in and accept this at face value?

No. It's one person stating that in his system, it makes no difference. It does NOT hinder discussion. It's another viewpoint. Looks like cfraser, in the post before yours, says exactly the same thing.
That _is_ the discussion. Blindly accepting what you or someone else claims to be a known fact, is what hinders discussion.
What is it about this forum that a few inmates simply will not take another ones's post at face value?
What is blind about helping this guy instead of telling him that you don't believe him?
No, what is it about this forum that a few inmates get so rattled by anyone who dares to state a contrary viewpoint?
the guy says he doesn't believe it because he can't hear it in his system. So what?
I, and others, can and do hear differences and there are rational reasons for this.
What's your problem? and why should you want to deter guys like the original poster from seeking help?
I see no deterrent to seeking help in any of the replies to the original poster.
Personally, I have no experience with USB hard drives' effects on SQ, but I certainly don't doubt your opinion. I can understand how it might affect sound quality in a PC based music server.
What I'm genuinely sorry about is that you and some others get so upset by anyone with a different opinion or different experiences than your own. That is a problem.

Not sure there. IME, which is hardly all-encompassing, is that it's much easier to make a desktop sound good than a laptop. Or I could say: the typical desktop sounds better than the typical laptop. But I don't truly think that's a hard fact, just a limited observation. It's really hard to compare these things, they are all so specific to the individual setups, H/W and S/W, even packaging and internal physical layout make a diff (I think this latter is a big factor for the DT> LT thing). Just a thought...However, for my particular "infrastructure", which I never did get around to mentioning since it's not my query: there is no audible diff to me between an external USB drive and an internal SATA drive. [I did the test rather than ask the Q, like I originally had in mind before just trying it.]
