| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire If the difference is not immediately clear, the component is not worth the money.Jimjoyce25 (Threads | Answers)Jim, I absolutely agree. | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Simple things to consider...Does the music sound live? Not hyped up, but live? Each instrument cnd person clearly defined?
