In Reply to: Computer Hard Drive/Music Server back to CD player? posted by chocolate_lover9999@yahoo.com on June 10, 2012 at 09:32:59:
My son started with a server based system using a Boxee Box to control the hard drive(s) and using lossless or flac files. But once he heard my CD set up and played CDs through a cheap DVD player in his system and heard how much better the CDs sounded he started to buy CDs. He still has the server set up but he's looking for ways to improve it's sound and make it more competitive with the cheap DVD player.
Understand my son is a computer network security professional so computer based systems hold no mysteries to him. He started his system thinking he wouldn't want or need CDs but experience has changed that tune. He's starting to make decisions now based on what he hears, not hype, preconceived notions or convenience.
Best regards, Ralph
