Quite a fight with Aurlaic ark mx+

Actually Windows can be good. I've listened to a 2x PC setup - Windows Server + lots of audiophile software. Everything is command line driven. You queue up the song list via text. That setup sound pretty good. The downside to this is you'll need to spend a lot of money on hardware, software and audiophile software..

This is the only Windows setup that keeps the realism of the performance. It's expensive, not very user friendly, but it works.

Snakeoil can do all this in one machine. To be honest, I can't tell which is better comparing the two side by side. But if you're after something cheap, go with snakeoil - it's free !

Thank you for the answer. I don't know how much more I will mess around with Windows also taken to consideratn what you say. It is at least one software player I like to try out before giving
I have a very powerfull desktop computer. I will try that one from the live CD next week. If that does not solve it I will buy some USB to COAX converter.
I donated a little to Snakeoil and will donate some more if I get everything working perfect. I totaly love the interface and the sound quality is first rate. Best I ever had.
