koning: is it possible to get the same sound Quality with beoport ( as the bs-5 ) by using a laptop with a Creative x-fi soundcard and a cambrige magicdac audio converter. Not sure of the specifics of the hardware you mention but I suspect you may not need the soundcard. Why not just an good quality external USB DAC? p.s. I've had a glance at the
