[SurroundSound] Re: Any interest in PC playing DSD over HDMI?

Re the Main Question of interest in playing DSD from a PC..    I have NO interest and wondered if you'd considered an alternative solution might exist to save the spend, work, maintenance, and hassle?.

All I wanted to suggest is that nobody needs to burn the iso these days and would surely be better just converting the music.iso to a file supported by their hardware player.  I don't have an oppo but maybe one of those guys could suggest if they do what you need for instance.  Given that they support SACD natively they might play the ISO direct??? ; personally I just convert to multichannel flac and play on a PCH C200.  I'd see more use in having the file on a NAS (or local drive) feeding a hardware player than converting and playing on a PC in realtime.  No need to boot a PC up then drive it;  no whirring fans and screen on;  If the iso did play without further conversion on an Oppo that would be a further reason for me to consider upgrading, for sure.  Sit on couch; power on hifi, play music. :-)

ps  I've only just removed my htpc this weekend as it was hardly used; and laterally just for xbmc.. That's another milestone achieved and ideally wont be returning..
