It's interesting that the enthusiasm in going to a more convenient but lower fidelity system is apparently higher than the reverse. Shows why audiophiles are a niche sect. The OP would have been more convincing if the enthusiasm was paired with a logical and cogent presentation rather than non sequiturs, post hoc rationalizing or internal contradictions (eg stating that one prior goal was to access more radio stations through the computer and then two para later stating how surprising it all was to have access to more radio stations). It would be more useful (I assume) to discuss procedures which mitigate the sonic downside if computer based audio is insisted on. The point I plan on investigating this year is whether separate file based players such as the Bryston BDP or the new Sony HAP (not part of a conventional computer) sound as good or better than equivalent CD disk players.
