Audiophilleo 2
“ Never have I found an audio component that costs $1000 with benefits as big as that shown by the Audiophilleo. I have not tried using it without the PurePower upgrade (as it is an irreversible upgrade), but the combination of an AP2+PP results in detail I never thought my system had the capability to expose. ” --absolutk
Audiophilleo 1
“ Some years ago I upgraded the clock in a fairly inexpensive DAC experimentally and realised the importance of the quality of the digital input to the quality of the sound output.

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Wireless Audio Transmitter and Receiver Bundle
“ I bought one of these b/c I recently discovered Spotify and didn't want to be tethered to my 2.1 system or my rack stereo while I was working at home on my laptop. Ordered it, received it, opened the box, skipped the manual (naturally), plugged it in, and -- BANG!! -- music playing over my sound system. I didn't even have to install the software. It took me longer to open the box and...” --Schnazola
Creative 70SB150000000 Sound Card
“ Sound Quality: First, the on-board sound on my PC was lacking in fidelity. With it I could not tell the difference between 128 Kbps mp3 and FLAC (I did ABX testing on both set ups to determine whether this was the case.)
