Computer comparison

Does anyone have experience with / knowledge of audio pc's like the Sweetwater or Tracer, and can you tell me how they compare to, say, a Toshiba for audio-specific app's? Does a dedicated unit have needed features or better sound quality that would make them worth the $ ? Thanks- just new on this thread and in considering pc as source.

Yes make sure you get a good 24/96 sound card.But internalk wiring in them all and their 1/8" jacks suck.Soiund blaster sells a card wioth that fits in a front slot and has RCA inputs.Makes things easy.But few computers are dedicated to sound the way audio coponents are.Read recent Stereophile and one of the articles (Fremers) mentions the prefered CD REcorder and even their not all are equal of course.Plus check out the strings on corrupted CD-R's whci one gonner said he had drop outs after only 3 to 4 years.
