I had a fairly simple laptop setup running JRiver into Madge's USB with music stored on a USB drive.
Sounded top class - until USB hard drive died.
Now running a good old CD transport into SPDIF & more than happy with the sound.
Rainy weekend task is to re-rip CDs onto a more reliable brand of USB drive & back it up.

I'm not a fan of USB either but Madge does that honestly and musically. S/P DIF is my preferred option via a Squeezebox Touch. A great sound as you've said Bob.

You're right about the natural sound Dil, definitely no digital sheen. And not the cold and clinical sound of various DAC's I have heard.

My "Madge" takes SPDIF co-ax from a Transporter (Squeezebox), SPDIF optical from a Mac Mini, and analogue from a couple of turntables (via a good switch box).

It gets caned daily. Comes up smiling every time. (Or should that be me that's smiling Big smile).

A demo will tell you why we all like it so much. Wink
