My experience after lost of 20k$

I am not happy because I have paid more than 20k$ for PC Audio.
if you like sound of Audionote/kondo/living voice horn/old tannoy/carbon cable then I 100% recommend you to forget PC Audio and just go for CEC TL-X 3.0 transport.

do not go for PC Audio.
if you should go for PC audio just do this:
macbook pro 15" MJLQ2LL/A or MJLT2LL/A model 2015
Wavelength USB DAC Crimson or Cosecant
Purist Audio 30 Anniversary USB Cable 1m

remember I have tested all pc , caps , reclockers all cables all thing in this market , do not pay for them.

Interesting article but did not say what the quality is. If it’s mp3 not interested. Wish HD tracks had more selection, too much obscure stuff

In general, don't understand why folks say PC audio sounds awful. I have a hard time with hiss and pop of vinyl. + Bass from vinyl systems can cause feedback at concert level volumes + digital bass just sounds better to me. I have thoroughly enjoyed 24Bit recordings (if truly a master recording not up-sampled)  although a direct to disk recording is very good just not as good imo.  I have a windows based $600 pc with JRiver software (wonderful software). the ripped data or HD goes to a PS Audio/Cullen modified DAC (fairly cheap) via an high end Audioquest TOS link. Yes at very rare times the TOS looses sync for a few seconds but sounds better than USB stuff I tried (AR DAC 8 was good but not as good for me). For $20K something not right....
