You're telling me that with a general-purpose CPU running at
1.5GHz, backed by a bus that's capable of pushing a few dozen (or
hundred?) GByte/sec, it's still necessary to dedicate specialised
silicon to get a 100KByte/sec stream from the platter to the DAC
reliably?

No, it's not. It's hateful software that's to blame, all right.
