I'm retired, so I guess I'm kind of old. My system is old school. It consists of a custom built CD Transport, A heavily modified Jolida Glass FX tube DAC, a DIY 300B amp, a pair BK 16 speakers with Fostex FE166En's, 2 sub-woofers, and a Crown Class D amp for the subs.
I remember when music off your computer was not that great and you had to build a bunch of custom stuff to get decent music off your computer. I even remember not to long ago reading that there is a lot of music on the internet, but not that much Hi-Res stuff.
Now over on Head-Fi I see a really lot of people listen to music on everything from computer's to I-Phones. My DAC even has a USB input. Has the quality of products and the amount of Hi-Res music available gotten to the point that you can get higher resolution listening from a computer to an I-phone, then a good transport, DAC combo and well recorded CD's?Do you still have to use a bunch of add on's? What do you all know. Please time warp me to the future, or actually the present.
