No history of the computer-audio marketplace could be complete without some mention of High Resolution Technologies, the California company whose <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/hrt_music_streamer_usb_converter/index.html">Music Streamer</a> was, in 2009, the first <i>perfectionist-quality</i> USB digital-to-analog converter to sell for as little as $99. One could argue that HRT's entire business model has contributed to shaping our attitudes toward the hobby: Because digital-audio technology continues to evolve at such a rapid pace, HRT has introduced a succession of newer and ever more effective Music Streamers, occasionally to the obsolescence of their predecessors; yet because those products have all been so affordable
