Hey guys,
Another blog post up for this week... Objective measurements of my laptops! Native built-in DAC, adaptive USB1 DAC, asynchronous CM6631 USB-SPDIF.
Bottom line: No need for voodoo. Computer audio can be complicated but so long as the software player & drivers are bit-perfect, and you don't have noise polluting the DAC output... Then you're good.
