using my computer as a music server
Please I am new to todays audio world. I began my interest in home stero in the late seventies, and left for the last 25 years. Were have i been! smiles. My how the audio world has changed! I am starting out fresh as a new blade of grass, still the same root.
I am also in the market for a new computer. Therin is my question. I assume it has already been asked, and discussed for years. What do i need to know, and were do I need to go to determine the current "state" of the use of a computer as a replacement for other forms of transport, such as CD? Can a good sound card actually reproduce the quility of a high end CD transport?
