some really interesting ideas

yes, the computer wouldn't be very far away, 50 feet or so is about right (small appartment), but it seems it's not worth the cost, yes? i'm definitely on a quite limited budget

the quiet-comp plan seems to make the most sense.

if i get
emu 0404

i'm wondering how much a good external dac would be? one that would significantly improve on the emu

Set up a wireless network and buy an Apple Airport Express. If there is money left over, buy an external dac. You can eliminate the cdp and sound card. I think this set up will run you the cost of a wireless router and the AX, unless decide to add dac.
