OK, if there is any area of audio that I want to learn more about, it's this one. I just don't know a damn thing about it, I've got to admit.

We have FAQ for some of the other forums, what about this one? Anyone care to work on an "Idiots Guide to Computer Audio"? I mean, I've got an M-Audio Audiophile USB, and I like it enough, but I've got no clue about all sorts of other things, including how it stacks up relative to other available products and so on. All I know is that it sounds pretty good, and I'm glad that I've stumbled onto it.

So...how do y'all feel about it?

Good idea.

Yeah no kidding. There are no end to topics to be covered:
CDrom vs hard drive
Lossy compression vs Lossless
EAC vs every other ripper
Audigy vs chaintech vs 1212m vs 0404m etc
external dacs
foobar2k vs every other player
asio vs kernal streaming vs wav/directsound & kmixer
usb soundcards
on board sound

and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
