Barriers to Computer Audio

[krass]

all of us have been there.

 

Some (not all) of us eventually ditch the "home computer" based solution and buy an off-the-shelf product such as an Aries or Aurender etc (in that respect the "choices" are similar to the choices you make when buying an amp, deck or speakers).

 

I went for an Aurender.

if you were to look at my posting history on this forum you would see a dramatic drop some time ago. It more or less coincides with my Aurender purchase at which point, for me, the 'pain' of building/maintaining this element of my system disappeared.

 

YMMV of course, others choose not to go the ready-made route.
