In Reply to: Is there any way to get audiophile playback from WAV files off a hard drive? posted by daveemac on February 7, 2003 at 16:20:10:
but I haven't seen one yet. There are a growing number of Digital Audio Receivers out there, but nothing that I've found so far that could be classified as 'audiophile'. With this technology instead of using an audio card, the file is sent digitally via a network cable, wireless or via phone lines (HPNA) to a box that connects to your audio equipment. This allows you to keep that noisy computer away from your audio system. Some of these boxes are called Digital Jukeboxes. Unfortunately most of what I've seen only deal with .mp3 or .wma. There is a wide variance of features including hard drives, CD-R/RW's, and internet radio capability. Some examples are -

I'm sorry I can't provide any specific solution. The Escient Fireball line looks promising though. I do monthly searches for "Digial Audio Receivers" and "Digital Jukeboxes". I'm sure something better will emerge. This is where the future is. But, I'll never give up my vinyl - something you can really "feel".
