Hi all, infrequent poster here."Since DXD and DSD playback is only supported via USB, I'd say it makes good sense to go USB." I pulled this off the Teac review, is this true? I am running a Baetis server with Jriver 18 going into a Theta 24/96 DAC via BNC spdif and am always researching a DAC upgrade. I want to maintain that output method from the server. The DSD momentum has got me holding off. I have been on the edge of getting a Berkeley Alpha for a while now. I think I am glad I waited based on what I am seeing with decreasing pricing and increasing sq, always a good thing. any comments to the usb only question is appreciated.

I have been very happy with Straightwire Info - Link. Bought 2M from Cable Co. for $280

Download the white paper from dcs on computer audio. It is thorough & well written on your topic as well as many other questions you will soon have in computer audio.

Hi waas, I am running JRiver with a laptop/Ayre QB 9 and wanted to use a mouse. is it not advisable? If no, is there a work around? Thanks, wdt

First Post! DAC: Ayre QB9 Kimber Cable KCAG silver w/WBT Amp: Ray Samuals Audio: Emmeline II "The Raptor" Cans:Sennheiser HD650, stock cable Currently running Itunes through PC. Weeding through all of the possibilities to get to higher res capabilities of DAC Not sure of best way to go for me, a non Mac user with limited computer knowledge. The setup above sounds fantastic, can't imagine it better but know 24/96 and beyond will be. Any feedback welcome. wdt
