RE: Why don´t they all get it ?

Hi,

I think that a lot depends on your "adience".
Most audiophile people are NOT very good with computers. Those who are not against liquid music often prefer sort of plug'n'play solutions - a Mac Mini or a notebook. They may be confident with switching various cables, but not addressing the technicalities of a cMP2 system.

Even if one can follow the cMP instructions almost blindly, I believe a certain experimentalist attitude is required in a typical cMP user.
Furhermore, do not forget that in general this type of "digital" knowledge - master clock, latency, ASIO...- is not so spread out.

As I am "spreading" cMP2's word in Italy, in my experience I can say that I am having more followers and recognition in a forum with PC-based roots rather than "old fashion" audiophile-based forums.

Definetly, in order to acquire credibility "spreading" is required at various levels: PC/Multimedia forums, Audio forums, Audio magazines, Electronic DIY magazines, end users, audio shop demonstrations (I have to do one in the next few days)...

On top of this, I believe that a typical audiophile user is a bit of a loner, whereas the cMP2 project is a sort of workgroup...not many people have this "community" approach.
