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 Folks,

I was just thinking about something to add to my previous post...

I have an NAD C350 amplifier that I've owned for about 5 years now. I've recently began using it as my main audio for my TV, and a minor issue is driving me crazy.

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).
