jrling Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi. Just noticed this thread. I'm the chap who posted that review on Head-Fi. I'm frankly surprised to see a misguided comment, on this of all forums, about using a [insert random brand] laptop as a source. I use various laptops as sources in high end headphone systems ($10k+) and they can perform extremely well. Suggesting a "Dell" laptop is incapable of being an excellent source by any standards is just pure nonsense. Totally agree. I am currently using a Dell Venue 11 Pro (7130) Tablet as my audio computer source. It is excellent. I have built several audio PCs with various components in the past and the Dell tablet is definitely the best source I have had. I think the reason for its good performance is a mixture of: Battery power (Li-Ion) Low power Haswell CPU (4030) - the whole tablet only draws 6-7 watts running the audio player Fan rarely comes on Screen turns off soon after starting play Link to comment
