why does one need to buy this item if one uses an hp xp media center pc harddrive as storage for cd's ripped to flac by media monkey then transferred to/via "digital out" to "coaxial digital in" on a yahmaha rx-v2500 avr that has 192-kHz/24-bit burr brown dacs? isnt this redundancy and over kill? the music isnt being played by the pc's sound card it bypasses the sound card and goes to avr correct? is the sound going tobe $1000+ better? please clarify this for me am i missing something? thanks bobbmd or at [email protected]
