人家是 high end, 整套大概五六萬美金吧. 不過好的 soundcard 也跟高級一點的 CD player 比起來也不太貴.
也許有一天音效卡會取代 CD-player 吧.
有人有經驗可以分享嗎? (成功或失敗都可以)

Terry Cain of Cain & Cain threw those who consider single-driver speakers and single-ended tube amplifiers archaic anachronisms a majorly sliced fast ball not by making really good sound nor by showing with his personal Electron Luv Electronics. Nyet. For his digital front-end, he instead used a computer-based hard-drive server by Las Vegas/Nevada based Vince R. Sanders of VRS Audio Systems. That got people's attention. By eliminating a laser pickup, read errors and jitter and assembling the best sound cards, internal DACs, wiring and connectors possible, percussionist Sanders claims that his $4,000 digital Audio RPC sonically outperforms even ultra-expensive two-box digital transport/DAC combos. Terry visited the man in Las Vegas to put big claims to small ears. Seeing the (blue) light, he instantly purchased a unit on the spot, adding dryly that more than one of his dealers has followed suit since sans regrets. Computers, Fostex and SETs - talk about convergence!
With 16dB of headroom, the internal gain structure is high enough to run the unit's analog outputs amplifier-direct. The aluminum casing can be anodized in any color desired or finished in wood grain. With provisions for four internal hard drives (currently 80GB serial ATAs but Western Digital has 250GHz hard drives on the burner), Sanders recommends a $899, 10" ViewSonic Airpanel as the wireless touchscreen interface to access the drive's uploaded software in the listening seat without interacting at all with one's main computer station. Uploads occur via the RPC's on-board Plextor drive which Sanders considers the ultimate audio extraction platform. In secure mode, 74 minutes of audio take 15-20 minutes to be imported, but 1st mode can reduce the protocol to 2-3 minutes. Current order lead times are 2 weeks and the designer works one-on-one with clients to customize the RPC according to their needs.
