I'm impressed. You've managed to contribute to a potential flame war and
completely blow right past any grey areas that might have been established
so far as this list's actual topic is concerned, all in one post. And, all
in spite of my asking you to drop this thread. Welcome to the moderated
list, 2009 eddition.
James,
List Admin

I'll resume this thread despite my feelings about the babies who either:
1. knew about the DAC
2. expected me to restore their vision so that they could read their CD
covers
If you are happy with your I pod or such this is not for you. If you have a
moderate to highe end stereo system and, like me, are looking for an
alternative to choosing CDs randomly or letting your S O do the selecting I
highly recommend the use of a DAC and the other procedure which I described.
I spent years looking for such a solution, considered learning Braille or
using a bar code reader. I feel blessed that my brother sent me a reference
to the article in the New York Times on this topic. I liked dealing with
Sonus and give them the highest marks. The owner, Ron, can usually be
reached on the phone after 1pm EST. I bought the most expensive of the
three units they offered at the time. It was $450. It has an amplified
head phone jack which with a pair of Sennheisers or the like yield exquisite
sound quality. I put my head on the chopping block again for those of you
with realistic expectations unfamiliar with this option. No responses to
the list please.

I'd also be interested in any off list discussion.

Let me make this clear. The issue here is the DAC. It isolates the noise
of the computer from the playback. I have a system valued, retail, at about
50 K. I am talking audiophile. My friends are audiophiles and are quite
impressed. If anyone to write me off list with serious interest, I'll be
as helpful as I can. I'll not defend this on the list. If you don't like
it, go pound sand.

Jeffrey, that's it? you simply ripped your cd's and stored the
files on an external Hard drive? I bet many people here are doing
that already and yes, of course it's accessible.
Sorry, I thought you were going to mention something new or
revolutionary
