Hey Soul,
You're the one reaching with this critical mass nonsense.
I noticed you didnt name one dac without a usb connection. In that regard, being able to buy a dac to connect to any computer it is a critical mass. USB is now a checklist item for any audio company. RELATIVE to just a few years ago this is critical mass, and it is only building. Not to mention network players.
Better sound as a result of convenience is a neminesis to the hobby and a hard sell to audiophiles.
This makes no sense. How do you get better sound because of convenience? I am not espousing computer audio because of convenience though some end up there because of it, and it is a nice plus. Heck I play "albums" myself and dont do playlists but some love that.
I am espousing computer audio because it can sound better. Sure there are alot of options one can do that might not sound better, but in terms of sq computers are the present and future.
Better sound is a "hard sell to audiophiles"???? I thought I was the one reaching??
Cut to razor sounding violins
