The New PS Audio PWD MKII

This subject is very timely for me. Here is my dilemma. I have been wanting the ability to easily categorize and access my CD collection by means of computer audio. Thus last year I purchased a Mach2Music Mini Mac, Ayre QB-9, an iomega drive to rip my CDs and 2TB HD for storage. I planned to also use my iPad as a controller.
I am the first to admit that I am not very computer literate so I needed a system which was virtually trouble free. No such luck. The folks at Mach2Music talked me through the initial set-up which I payed extra for and then wanted to charge me for any additional phone support. I think this company has gone belly up. What a surprise. The above components are disconnected not presently in use.

At any rate, I have been considering the PS Audio Dac MK II with Bridge to accomplish my goal. But after reading the various posts I am again hesitant to
involve myself in another project that is costly and likely will lead to further disappointment. Whatever direction I decide to go in must have strong dealer support and assistance when needed.

Any thoughts or opinions would be welcome.

Hello Jdoris, thank you for your response. I had been using a USB connection. Beyond plugging in the cables as instructed I am lost I am sad to admit. I live in the LA area and tried unsuccessfully to find an "expert" tech. person that I could hire to get me back on the right track and be a go-to person when I run into problems. No such luck so far.
Until I am convinced that there is a product out there that is relatively easy to use and does not require one to be a computer engineer I will live with the inconvenience of manually finding my CDs and playing them.

Yes, that me be a good solution to my end goal, storage and an easy access solution for listening to my CD collection. If I were to go in this direction I would want to insure that I was not sacrificing sound quality.

Hello Knghifi, all my computer audio components are presently disconnected,
i.e M2M Mini Mac, Ayre QB-9, 2tb HD. I have already ripped a couple hundred CDs and many more are waiting. I don't plan to do anything with the above gear until I have a clear path to follow.
I wish that I had a tech savy friend but it's hard to find anyone, professional or otherwise who is knowledgeable with this field. I'll keep looking.
