A computer based music server gives you access to your entire music
library with a click of a few keystrokes. Convenince goes up 100 fold.
You already have a computer based music server based on itunes and the
Air****t express, like mine. The one additional item could have really
brought your computer music alive. I know it did with mine. The EMU
0404USB is actually the main reason that I blew my speakers because I
was enjoying listen to music for longer periods of time at substantial
volume. I cooked my crossovers twice.

If this does not tickle your fancy, then OK. Moving right along.

You can choose to ignore the advice I give if you like. You seem to
show yourself as someone who really appreciates music by the type of
system you have assembled. I find it curious that you can spend
$4000.00 on a pair of speakers but can't give $160 a try on a product
that is well regarded to improve your audio experience. You can even
return the product in 30 days for most shopping outlets. No harm done,
well maybe $8 total for ****pping the return item.

OK then.
