I have heard an early version of the VRS system - not sure what version, etc. - but it was in my own system and I was IMPRESSED. It provided an extremely musical and 'live' presentation.
I am personally trying to decide however, if this is the best approach or if it makes more sense to get the digital signal out of the noisy environment of the PC prior to D/A conversion, etc. In this regard, I am inclined to prefer the use of a computer-based music server as just that, a server, with digital data being output to a good D/A device.
Steve's work is interesting and USB seems to be a very viable means of data transmission. I would welcome others' experience with this form of digital 'link', vs. SP/DIF from soundcard, etc. The real issue here is clocking and jitter of course.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
