RE: Playing files from a hard drive

Posted by Old SteveA on May 14, 2017 at 11:45:02:
While playing my music files from a drive is something I do over 90% of the time,using my PC as the "player" doesn't appeal to me . The only way I would even consider doing that is if the PC was completely dedicated to just playing the files (& I do mean completely), So I use an Auraliti PK100 digital file player,which plays the files from either a flash or extenal drive .

I export the output of the player to a Metrum Hex DAC.From there it's being routed to my outdated (but still sounding pretty good)McCormack micro mini line drive. I've been considering upgrading (if even possible) the Auraliti's sound card,but with as enjoyable as the Hex make everything I listen to sound,I normally have this thought on a "back burner"
