Quoting "S.N.Grigoriev" <gregory@mdmspb.com> (from Fri, 1 Sep 2006 15:52:13 +0400): > Hi. > > I would like to know if there is a hardware/software combination > allowing FreeBSD(amd64) to be a CD player with sound quality > comparable with HiFi standalone CD players. If you talk about off-the-shelf products in the super market: yes, just connect the analog audio out of the CD-ROM to your soundcard/soundchip (typically the necessary cable comes with the CD-ROM) and use any decent multimedia player (most of them are able to play CDs). If you talk about really high quality stuff (which you don't get at every corner on the street), I don't think so. But you can play with digital extraction of the audio data from the CD and feeding it to an external DAC via the SPDIF interface of the soundcard.
