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.

I'm hearing more and more of the OP's view on this. On another thread here there are two reviewers who've heard the Jay's Audio CDT with a decent DAC and they say it rivals some of the better PC setups out there. 

All the best,

You're not alone in how you feel.

A couple of years ago I went to a HiFI show (Newport) and went to most of the rooms and there were lots of PC set ups and they all sounded okay. The best one, by far, was the MSB room. They put on a song and I was stunned at how beautiful it sounded. 

When I remarked on that, it was pointed out that despite the PC set up, it was a CD I was listening to at the time. They just smiled.

All the best,

For any who think that CD playback is a dead ender take a look at other threads here and some online review sites where CDT & DAC combos are the equal of and sometimes bettering some much touted PC setups. 

Also, there's this:http://highfidelity.pl/@main-856&lang=en, where they assembled a panel to actually listen to the stuff and then formed an opinion. 

All the best,Nonoise
