Dear Mr. Murphy
It´s very troublesome to be an audiophile nowadays, isn´t it ?
So many formats, protocols, asynchronous blabla, master/slave modes and ASIO drivers to think about.
So many issues that are too difficult to comprehend and too inter-dependable.
It was much more straight forward ten years ago.
It was much easier to just read a review of a specific CD player and have an oppinion and to pretend to be in the know....
To calm your outcry, try a grammophone :-)
High-end magazines do not really want to mix their commecial interest and strategy with distributors of computer hard/software and manufacturers of pro-studio gear.
Neither do manufacurers of audiophile equipment.
That could quicky turn nasty when it gets revealed what the difference in profit margins between them are.
HiFi dealers, -distributors, -manufacturers and -editors tend to emphasize how mediocre computers are for audio. And somehow, they´re right.
This entire industry is not accustomed to deal with software, protocols, DSP technology or drivers....it´s all too costly and complicated to develop proper; it´s all too difficult to explain to customers and it is a nightmare for marketing departments to convey.
Done right, computers can actually do and perform the way you are wishing for in your post here. You just (!) need to know what you´re doing and how hardware & software are interacting. High-end computer audio is not an easy game to get into.
It is much more than just plotting a D/A device into the USB hub of a laptop and choose a player software.....
Take your time to grasp how things work in computers, or go straight to your highend dealer and get ripped off on a sleek networkplayer :-)
kind regards
