I associate turning on a PC with the first thing I do when arriving in the office for a difficult day at work. I don't really want to turn on a PC to listen to some music. Having said that, I do use a PC / AIR Ethernet. The sound quality is superb, I like messing about with playlists, and love the ease with which I can manage a large collection of music with a PC. Then you add in excellent iPad apps and similar, it just gets better. So, if someone can come up with super optimised PC nirvana, this will be of great interest to many for sure. Some terrific links and info above, I look forward to discovering the ultimate solution (if anyone can agree it exists!) on the new thread.
Also, when Guillaume & Rufus discover the ultimate sound quality PC alternative for just Euro 500, the joy will be unlimited. (we can all only hope)
