RE: Dac questions

Todd, that may be your observation but your response doesn't address the OP's questions. He said, "seems like we never listen to CDs anymore"
I still own a very capable Accuphase CDP that sounds nice but it hasn't been my primary source for CD playback in nearly a decade. I rarely listen to it anymore. I might pop a CD in it once or twice a month just to keep it lubricated. ;-)
I'm getting superb performance from my computer audio setup for 'ripped' CDs as well as hi-res downloads. I use the music server direct to DAC as well as via a dedicated network 'streamer' in another room.
Others are also achieving outstanding results with their computer audio systems. Sticking with a CD player is just a personal choice IMHO and not the definitive answer to high quality digital music reproduction.
