Interesting response

Not a lot of people want to learn the current, complex techniques for tweaking a general-purpose PC to get decent sound through a complex, expensive chain of boxes and cabling coming between it and their preamplifier. I just want to listen to music…

Your reply points to a design - an integrated computer/audio architecture with eptified software. Picture a special-purpose computer that's purely a hi-fi component. Numerous products claim to be this, but most seem to boil down to the patched-up hardware and software you refer to.

I would buy this *box* and take it home, but I want to hear the traditional old-world audiophile press say it sounded good. Don’t be too quick to jettison those dudes… Like it always has, it comes down to trusting your human ear and weighing what you and the reviewers heard.
