OK, I get the appeal of computer audio now :

I've been on the fence about computer audio, but that just changed. I purchased and downloaded "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" on DSD, put it on a flash drive, and plugged it in to my Oppo 105. As the first words of "Blowin' in the Wind" came through the speakers, I fought back tears. My girlfriend dropped what she was doing and came running to the listening room, and even the dog looked up from his nap (no small feat, trust me). In my 30 years of listening to music I have never had such a profound reaction to a piece of music - the subtle inflections of a young Dylan's already world-weary voice and the lyrics that still echo decades after they were written.

This is one of those rare moments that we all hope for in this audiophile hobby. I'm off the fence on this computer audio stuff :)

All the best,
Scott

that's all very nice, but one song isn't a convincing argument for the equipment and the money and time spent acquiring "files" to listen to. non-the-less, IF you keep having the same experiences over time without getting "used" to the improvement all too soon, then i would say "write a mini-review" about what you did and how you did it. Maybe you just like Dylan a whole lot? well, not many would disagree with your musical taste...
I have a re-mastered version of Freewheelin' and happy it is part of my collection. can it compare with the polished sound from a Union Station disc
or other more recent folk-genre recordings? i haven't yet made the comparisons.
However, I'm happy that you're happy....
