[access-uk] Re: Media Edition Again

Hi Andy,

Well, it's a little trial and error.  Initially I'll try the soundcard in
the pc to see what it's like but I anticipate having to get a different
sound card.  I understand that the EMU cards are very good for audio
reproduction so may go for one of their pro type cards.  I've a prettey
expensive hi-fi system so it's imperitive that the quality be good.  My amp
on it's own is two and half grand! smiles.

I've taken on though what Brian said about the need for media centre.  I had
wondered quite a bit about whether i really needed it.  I think the nebula
card route would be the best option.  I would be over the moon if they had a
version for Sky but, alas, haha, not so yet!

I also want to go for the HD TV option in the near future.

Best regards for now.

Steve

Hi Steve.

I'm a bit like yourself at the moment.  I'm needing to upgrade my computer
and my hi-fi and I was keen on having a go at the Media Centre version,
possibly on a dell, because of the low noise.  I have listened to a number
of demonstrations from America where they are able to connect their
satellite televisions.  Unfortunately, we are unable here yet to do the
same, other than go down the Nebula route.  unfortunately , the Nebula
system only works with Freeview and as we don't have Freeview in our area
yet, I'm scupper.  I have all of my music collection on my computer and have
tried both a line-out and Veronica method of connection, but unfortunately,
both have a price in terms of loss of quality, so I'm scupper again.  To
complicate the issue, I also wish to upgrade to HDTV and plug the lot
together.  I've got some cash coming soon, so I'm able to do it but the
technology is simply not here yet.  How frustrating eh?  Can you tell me how
you plan to link your computer to your hi-fi, and how you plan to get the
maximum quality of sound?

Best wishes.

Andy.
