    My laptop sound is very poor (I have no external equipment and I think that the sound card is not very good either).
    I saw this product Xitel HiFi-Link Audio Processor (for PC and Mac) and I am thinking to buy it to hook up my laptop to my stereo. Do you know of this product? is it good? Is there anything I should know about it?

    I am talking about hooking up my Alienware Sentia to an external stereo using the Xitel HiFi-Link Audio Processor.
    I am asking whether the Xitel HiFi-Link Audio Processor is a good product or not.
    Thanks!

    In fairness to Alienware I have to say that I chose the cheapest of the three sound options available (and I regret it). Yet I am extremely dissatisfied with my Alienware for unrelated reasons (you can read all about it in its forum, thread Alienware Beware, one of the most recent posts). But please let's talk about my dissatisfaction level with Alienware only in that thread.

    Here I would like to hear your opinions about the Xitel HiFi-Link Audio Processor
