Re: Something is very wrong in audioland: yesterday,

Don't dismiss a system because it is PC based!

There are some sound cards that easily best "audiophile" gear.

Case in point, my PC systems sounds way better than my old transport dac system. Even off the pc, the soundcard sound better than the external DAC which is about $300 more expensive than the sound card. ($900-1200)

Also, the soundcard has 3 pairs of balanced outs and I can use the PC as a digital crossover and do room correction as well as upsampling.

That said, I agree that your coworker's rig probably isn't audiophile.

IMHO the industry has done a horrible job of educating, and just seems to dismiss anyone not buying into their mantra as stupid. Kind of like you are doing with your coworker :)
