You mean to get a decent digital front end you need a good $1000 worth of cables and crap between the Source and the Dac.
Don't you think that there is someting inherently WRONG with a digital source if it needs so many correction devices in order to send a good signal to a Dac?
Come on you can't be blind to this....
I have the best computer available [a Mac] with the best audio software [PureMusic or Ammara] which puts out great music...oh but wait the USB out is crap so I need to speed $500 on a cable to help 'do something' then send it through a USB-to-SPDIF converter to clean up all the jitter, then send the signal through a $500+ spdif cable before I can realize any benefits to my Stellar front-end.
Huh?????
