The gist is that you're essentially trying to digital samples. And samples could be stored a variety of ways, on hard disks, flash disks, SD cards and tape if you so desire. > > Systems with no moving parts are obviously the best and most reliable. **Indeed. However, several points: * The most critical aspects to good sound reproduction lie with the DAC and the output stages. The best DACs are generally regarded to be R2R types. These types of DACs tend to be much larger than the more popular Sigma/Delta types. * RAM based players are not immune from failure of the RAM itself. The type of RAM used has a finite life-span. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
