Holey smokes do some of you guys pour a lot of cash into this hobby.

....a definitive case of deja vu. I am sure we have been here before, several times! Yes?

...but it sure beats answering questions like "Does this integrated amp have a pre-amp?" or other inanities...and yeah I know, we all started there but fer crissakes, if you're gonna' include a link to the owners manual, at least thumb through it...

Anywho, these sites just seem to recycle old news, particularly in fallow times...

But to get back on track with the OPs post (you great big PITA)...Obviously the hardware should be able to extract the max from the software...but...once you reach a certain point, all the $$$ cables and preamps etc. will, for the most part, will allow you to play it louder...

Since we are dealing with software that is inherently flawed (again for the most part multiple mono tracks synthesized into a stereo or MC presentation) any supposed nuances afforded by the big bucks are suspect in my book...

Ha-ha. And me (like a fool) didn't notice that he had the manual link at first. I found it was being sold on Ebay for $20 with lengthy explanations. Then I found the manual link and was about to post it when I noticed that he already had it.
Sometimes I feel like such an idiot.

I know that this thread is a bit of a rehash, but we needed something to talk about. It's been soooooooo sloooooooooooow.....
