I recently took the plunge on a simaudio Moon 300D DAC. Very satisfied with the results so far. I still feel I do not grasp the concept of building a good PC setup to enjoy all current high rez files (up till 192khz). Even after reading up on the internet I'm still at a loss. I'm sure you have been asked this a thousand times before but here goes:
Setup Moon 300D DAC connected balanced to the GRAAF GM50b, an italian all-tube (EH KT90H), fully balanced integrated amp. Connection by van den Hul's outrageously transparent new 3T the Rock. Speakers are Genese Trio monitors by Triangle assisted by a closed BK sub. This makes for a very revealing experience. Even more so than with the AKG K701.
The aim is to play high rez files, even the ones with higher that 96khz. (I got the urge by reading up on the stones imminent arrival on high rez). I have an old laptop (centrine, windows XP) with no spdif connection. I use foobar2000 to play flac files. I have read up on the halide bridge and MF V-link but they seem to stop at 96khz. So should I try to buy a soundcard ? What else do I need?
Thanx in advance for any advice!
