Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Intereting detailed observations

You make a good point. Foe me, everything else was already here.

I already had the computer, hard drive, and the wifi router which I use for business that I run out of my house. The computer is a five year old Dell Vostro 1700, with Intel Core 2 Duo, and Vista; certainly nothing special but it still runs perfectly. The buffalo 2TB TeraStation hard drive is pretty nice, predates the music system, and also keeps my business files for the last couple of decades. The router cost $80 and replaced a very old Cisco unit that died recently. I did spend about $130 on a nice digital cable, which made a big difference, but I had several other cables I used for over a year before buying this one. Interconnects I also already had (I tried half a dozen from the bone-yard in my closet) and the same with decent power cords.

Being a veteran hobbyist and established computer networker, the incremental cost was $500. If you were starting from scratch, I agree that it's a different story. You don't want to know how much the Aerial Acoustics 7.1 speaker system costs....

All the best.

Jeff
