"I never stated that nothing else makes a difference, but for most folks putting in a decent DAC/converter is the FIRST step to good sound."
Quoting JeffH above, I have to agree with him. Would the FIRST step be to put in a highly tweaked SOURCE computer system and a crap bargain-basement DAC?
Before your post from the "source is most important camp", what specific advise have they given to the OP? None. Just criticism of Jeff's recommendation. So typical, and that was my point.
What player? What OS? What OS tweaks? What CPU? What speed? How much memory? What disk, HDD/SSD? What power supply? What interface? What cable? What DAC? Did these supporters of the SOURCE computer is most important camp offer up any specific advise to the OP? I haven't seen it.
