The CEA (see above) identifies what it calls “an emerging area of opportunity in bridging the divide between PCs and home audio systems.”
Only 9 percent of home PC audio users connect their PC to their home audio systems, it found.
A CEA official said, “The PC has claimed its place as a hub of audio content procurement and playback in the home. The next step is to allow consumers to see the benefits of connecting their PC to their existing home audio system for a more enjoyable home audio experience.”
