Re: This Is Disgusting.....

Have you tried asio?

NOt ASIO4all, but real asio?

This made a huge difference. Infact, years ago when I got into this PC audio thing, I used a player called ACXO that had asio "built in". Everyone was raving about Foobar, and when I tried it, I was disappointed. ACXO just sounded so much better. A few years went by, and I realized that I had never used foobar with ASIO. I put ASIO in Foobar, and it immediately sounded better and much like the ACXO player. I primarily use Foobar now. I'll play with winamp, but man that thing is slow and my main rig is half as fast as the "regular" computer.

I did notice an improvement with a better power cord, and recommend that you try one.

Also, have you tried a better dac?

I can imagine vinyl adherents freaking out if I bought an entry level turntable and concluded that CDPs were better than vinyl.

Also, get something like the Lynx L22 to try. For the money it is hard to imagine a $600-$700 dac sounding better IMHO. My $1200 dac certainly didn't.
