Thanks for sharing.

So what's your digital system like?

All music are in HR 24/96 format and sounds warmer than cd version which is thinner.
I'm just using J Rivers Jukebox Media and not so high end sound system but you must need
a sound card that can play 24/96.
:D

My system :
An outdated Onkyo tuner amplifier from 90's
Mission 733 floor standing speakers
and a PC with Gigabyte mother board that had an on board sound card which
supports HD audio (sorry I don't know the model ) :D

My office digital system: Asus P55 motherboard wiith 2 1TB hard disks, OS X Snow Leopard running Itunes, Plex and/or Audirvana, SPDIF out into a DAC-AH DAC, Foreplay preamp and SE EL84 with Diatone vintage speakers.

Home digital setup: Mediagate MG-35 with 500 GB hard disk, all audio ripped into WAV files, into a Buffalo DAC, 7119/5687 WOT (with output transformer) preamp and using 2a3 or KT88 or EL34 or EL84 SE amp driving an OB with Eminence 15" woofer and Coral fullrange or my LSA1. Sometimes I use my MacBook Pro to stream into my wireless router.

I built my system around the Asus M4A88T-M motherboard, which has an external optical port on the backplate (toslink),internal SPDIF header (coax), and of course USB. So there are three choices of connecting to the DAC. To stay on topic :), due to the limitation of my DAC, I can stream up to 24-bit/192khz HD lossless music files via toslink and coax, but not through USB which is limited to 16-bit/48khz.

Wow ! you guys out there really had a great system. And those specs sound so complicated to
a non audiophile like me. :D
Anyway can you guys recommend me a media player which can play HD audio files and had an
audiophile grade DAC in it?

p.s.
does Xtreamer had an audiophile grade DAC? bec. it can play many types of format and the price is not
that expensive.

Since the xtreamer has a digital out port, you can connect it to an outboard DAC of your choice to produce 2-channel hifi music.

For an integrated, no fuss, high quality audio output, Olive is highly recommended. High "porma" factor pa :)

Actually have the Olive 3HD in my sights, but walang digital out. Was thinking of using my Rega DAC in conjunction with it. Wait wait muna. . . :-)

Thanks guys for the info, but I think Olive is still expensive for some like me.
I've heard lately that new models from Onkyo (even the entry level network receiver) has an USB slot
which can read flac files. But don't know if it can read 24/192 files?
Can some one confirm this feature? :D
