[link] How to get the best sound out of your PC

You might have read this one, then again maybe not!

(I searched and didn't find any relevant results... )

Its a very concise article that gives you a short guide on how to improve the quality of sound on your PC, mainly for music.

This is a highly simplified diagram of how the music flows:

mp3 file --> mp3 decoder --> processor --> soundcard --> speakers --> Ears

Each one of these stages has to be optimized if you want the best quality sound. If the mp3 file is low-bit rate to begin with, no amount of tweaking can make it sound lush and full. Or if you are using tin boxes for speakers, even a SACD would sound crappy on them. One weak link in the chain and there goes your listening experience.

Have a look

Thanks for the link. Something to play around with. I have to try it out and see how much of a difference you can hear b/w itunes and winamp after this.
