Hi to everyone
I'm a student and for many reasons i can't use my rig at home, I must use my notebook and a pair of headphones with a soundcard on my pc.
Altought I'm thinking to build a little rig where listen my music and use the pc for others purposes.
My idea is to use a netbook such as a EEE pc asus or similar with a good soundcard/DAC and an amp to listen the music that I have on my HD usb (flac or mp3 320).
So the ideal complete rig could be:
HD usb -> EEEPC -> DAC -> Tube Amp -> Headphones
The EEEpc will be used with foobar (on linux with wine?) correctly configured with KS/ASIO for the best use as "music box" without unnecessary things no-frills
I'd like to build this with the cheapest possible. (EEE pc used on ebay
).
P.S. I've noticed that foobar on wine sounds really bad. If I'll use a dac the quality is the same like in windows or sucks anyway??
it worth or is only a waste of time/money??
