Macs have issues too. If you don't care about quality then use a Mac. Or use a PC for that matter and skip setting it up right. Macs can be setup right too. Just don't use anything that begins in "i".

I could buy what ever I want. Including a Sooloos. I have a spare SqueezeBox I choose not to use. At home it's different. But for work (already sitting on a PC) I choose Winamp. Macs are not used for mainstream commercial work yet.

You can take any clunker PC with USB 2.0 and spend $130.00 and make it work perfect. And get decent headphone preamp too.

Or buy a PC with optical as Ronnie suggests. That I have yet to see driver support for WASAPI or ASIO. And you may have to add a optical to coax converter if you want to DSP speakers direct.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
