RE: An Extraordinary Windows Installation for Use with Juli@

Yo Jben. Naw ditched the cmp2 box because of the heat. Long story.

Using a DANTE solution now to feed a dac. And Hysolid is the player. Awesome sound.

THis is a dante box that is feeding my dac an AES signal from ethernet:

Actually before the dac the signal runs into a used Apogee Big Ben reclocker I got at guitar center for $400 which sends AES out to the dac:

Here is the player and they seem to use some cmp2 principles shifting the cataloging away from the computer to an app on a phone or tablet:

I had the cmp2 box in different systems and I can't conclude that this new paradigm is better but I can say that I don't miss the cmp2 box at this point. And I totally enjoy the control and sound with Hysolid. Do note though that hysold IIRC only really works with 32bit hardware. There is a small list on their site. I could be wrong since my 4 dac options all support 32bit.

Also there are some great sounding affordable dante products that could do wonders for some systems and fwiw you can add all kind of ins and outs if you want to. I have another box like this but it also has 2 mic inputs:

Listening today, omg this system sounds amazing! So smooth and detailed yet not sterile at all. Music man music.

Cut to razor sounding violins
