Hi Audioengr.
The auiotron operates like a laptop except that it allows me to remotley store my music files adn then spool them over ethernet. The AT (audioton) then spits out the audio in either a digital or (very poor analog format), hence the post for the DAC.
In my experience this is a preferable setup to using a laptop for a few reason:
1. The AT look slieka piece of audio gear and at 17" wide fits into my rack with everything else.
2. No ambient noise from chassis fans or hardrives
3. Clean and easy interface.
However there are some definite down sides to this setup so i am interested to hear more baout your setup:
1. What USB device? I currently have a stereolink as part of a seondary system adn although i like it, it does not come close to a good solid DAC
2. What type of laptop and where to you keep the audio files, locally or spooled over a LAN?
Thanks
