Debauch: I listen to my Empeg while at work , but run the line-outs into the PC line in and plug the headphones into the PC.

Tony: Right, this is what I do, as well.

Are you guys nuts? You have a $1500 stereo with the best quality components (including a Burr-Brown DAC!) and you spent hundreds of hours ripping your CDs at high quality levels... and you listen to it through a $79 PC sound card?

Well, on the other hand, I guess I'm listening to mine through a $22 pair of headphones. In my defense, they are pretty good sounding headphones -- better on midrange than my car stereo, but lacking in sub-bass. But those headphones do not sound anywhere near as good with the empeg running through my PC as they do plugged directly into the line-outs.

Sigh...
