I read about one or the other software which is adding the Meta data to wav files, but i read also that you brake the container with that and that this is not in compliance with the standard. I am a little scared that I'll blow my files? I had a look to the lynx card and the Spec is looking very good, but This is again a sound card for recordings optimized. I am looking a little bit to find a card which is dedicated for listening in highest quality. I mean the development clearly was for recording. What do you think about this?

1. Actualy I did change to Kunbuntu some time ago, but I have still a XP as well. 2. It'a kind of desktop, it is a nice Alu housing. 3. That's part of my unknowlage, what is best also to not have any power source influences 4. I am thinking about a Soundcard from Marian, a buddy told me that's a good one. But I tried to get some further ideas here. 5.the path is the goal.(not shure about translation) ;-) 6. I need alwys to have a target price of the ideal thing and than I can get used to the price level and finaly you think it's very cheep, isn't it like this for everyone? ;-)

Hello, I'm from Germany and I am attacking the issue of listening musik in very high quality with a computer as a musik source. I did dig into this subject a year ago and started to DIY speakers and have some DIY amps in work. Now my big issue right now is what do I have to do with my PC to be able to use it as music player. Status: I started to ripp all my music (CD's) into the wav format as it is looseless. I used EAC (exact audio copy) for this. Now for developing my my speakers I bought a Tascam U144 external USB Soundcard in a bundle with a measurement mic to measure the room and the frequency of the speakers and chasis. This soundcard has a D/A converter. I think it is not too bad but maybe not audiophile! I learned that I cannot use iTunes or Songbird (which more symphathic to me) to play wav and show cover as wav has no id3 tag (very confusing topic!!) My points I'd like to develop together with you: 1.) What hardware setup do i need for my pc to be as audiophile as possible (from power source to DAC) 2.) What can I do to bundle my wav files with any kind of meta data that I can play it and see the cover as well in perfect quality. 3.) how could I than be prepared for the next level after audiophile stereo pc setup comes the HD and BlueRay Sound and movie. What is an audiophile multi chanal setup?
