Hard Drive/Computer Audio at the SHOW and CES


I read there was going to be a lot of new computer/hard drive/memory audio stuff at the SHOW and CES, like Wavelength, new VRS stuff, new USB DAC's, etc. but I haven't been able to find any coverage on computer audio type systems in particular. What gives? I thought this would be a big year for computer audio. Has anybody been able to find any news?

You know, Hack, that elitist attitude of yours is contributing to the death of high end. There are quite a few here that are interested in a very high quality music server. The OP did not say anything about mp3s or Ipods. And not all source material is available on vinyl. There does not seem to me to be any technical reason that a quality recording ripped from CD to a hard drive, and played back through a high end DAC cannot sound great. Some of us here are interested in a way to integrate computers into this process. The physical media is only a means to an end.
Hack- Fair enough but

I don't see anything here that mentions I-pods or lossy compression. I've never heard Wavelength but it is supposed to be pretty darn good. I guess you touched a nerve because I am thinking of going the music server route for my digital, which IS the bulk (2/3) of my software.
