Like almost everyone's, I suspect, a large chunk of my music collection is on CD. Six months ago I needed a new CD player, and after some careful auditioning, I bought the Marantz SA11S1. It does a terrific job with Redbook CD's and it also provided me entry into the SACD environment - the format, which according to some, would probably make me give up my lifelong devotion to analog sources.
Hi,
I am considering setting up a music server using an existing spare PC. I was considering doing one of the following:
-> Get a high end PCI audio card (like Azuntech's X-Meridian) and feeding it directly to my preamp. I'm open to better sound card options here as there were only a few that seemed to fit the bill. And even then I wonder...
-> use the onboard S/PDIF output from my motherboard to a good used DAC (~$1000).
then how can the mfg claim it's high end? Ya wants stabilty, ya wants reliabilty? then why ain't $20,000 stuff using true high end components? http://www.electronicproducts.com/ShowPa...thYear=Dec+2006
