Digital Audio Myths - Listening on a PC

What do you mean by that? Extraction of the audio vs. playback on the computer eliminates the possibility of jitter, so it's absolutely imperative. If you then connect the DIGITAL output of the soundcard to your favorite amp (and hence let it do the D/A conversion), the signal will be as good as any good musical player could provide it.

I remember the tube discussion ... I said that I appreciate the sound of tube amps although the distortion rate can be higher. Please don't quote me wrong all the time.

And as for getting "loud" ... we discussed in length why digital audio extraction eliminates jitter. Please don't just begin to question that again without providing new facts - or at least tell me in detail which of the facts that I produced you think are wrong. Arguments like "I give reasons - you say it isn't - I give more reasons - you say it isn't - I give tons of reasons again and again - you say it isn't" aren't getting us anywhere, and you're only making a fool of yourself in the end.

^ oliver, that's not fair. The Logitech speakers are priced at about $100 in total, and I'm sure that these magnat speakers cost about $1000 ...

1. Looks boring, is cheap and can add much more jitter than any more expensive HiFi drive:

IMO they make the best PC speakers ... but I've nev er tried these Klipsch.

Or these:

1. looks impressive, costs a fortune, cannot read any more information than any PC drive:
