The good sound cards are typically sold for recording studio work, or at least high end amateurs doing recordings. They are often about as expensive as a SqueezeBox. It makes a lot of sense, it takes quality engineering to get it to sound good, its not about the parts. And neither SqueezeBoxes or pro-audio cards are mass market items, which is what is needed to get the cost of the engineering spread to millions of units so the costs can be low. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
