Trying to use a computer as a source for my music library, and being a from the non computer age group, I am holding my own, mastered adobe PS . However after reading this thread, and having to google all the different options (hardware) mentioned in this thread to understand what everyone was talking about. I am still not clear what I exactaly need in the chain to do that for my short run from computer to dac
Being from the spinner/transport and dac era, I know its important to have clean power, and this is what your trying to achieve with using the computer, as It sound like you would want to clean up the noise coming from the computer before it gets to the dac with various hardware.
First off I don't have a player other than windows media player, what I would like to do is drag and drop into a player what I want from my library, don't need it to act like a library. If you could recommend a player that will work for me, that would be great. Next I would need to rip a fairly large CD collection in a format ( not sure what is best) that would be best for optimal SQ, and burn from that player as well, so that too would a be recommendation I need.. The I guess finally the hardware needed to run a short distance from computer to dac, no long run. .. My objective is optimal SQ ......
I know from another thread MM said that your not going to get the SQ of the transport/spinner + dac from a computer but its getting close. I can deal with that till further tech comes available. I like the convenience factor.
Thanks for your time
