I've had the PreSonus Firestation outboard DAC recommended to me. It connects to your PC via Firewire and includes an AD converter ( and mike preamps ). Looks good and I'm looking forward to trying one.
IPOD and an audiophile soundcard
I recently broke down and bought a 40gb ipod when I realized that I could import uncompressed wav files. Any tips and suggestions from fellow audiophiles on getting the most out of it? I am also looking for a high end sound card for my PC...any suggestions? I have a VPI TNT set up and need a nice A/D convertor so that I can "take my vinyl" on the road in the IPOD. I also got a nifty little FM transmitter that sits on top.
