Experience with Mach2 Music Server?

FYI Im Pro Mac so very much look forward to Alex realizing the superiority of the Mac:-)

What a dreamer! :-)

I finally have my mac mini based server running as above. It sounds great through the W4S DAC and I am sure it will be better in a week of continuous play. My only mistake was the Nitro AV firewire hub. It was not recognized by the mac mini and I am not sure why. I had to daisy chain the three drive - 1 the backup from the original mac mini, the other the 1T Lacie drives with the apple lossless CDs stored in mirror images.

The SSD is working fine.

I am driving the system remotely from my Mac Pro, but I will go the Ipad route when the next version is released. The price for the original should go down then and I need it to do very little.

I find running the MacMini headless in conjunction with either a MacBook Pro or iPod Touch running VNC software or screen sharing drains the battery of either the MacBook Pro or iPod Touch much quicker than if screen sharing or the VNC software were not running.

I'll be interested to know your experience with the iPad. I suggest buying the version with the better battery life.

Tvad,

I am using iPad with iTeleport from Jaadu. It works extremely well for Win7 remote desktop. I love it!

Best,

I'll likely buy an iPad 2 when it's released and try it for a month. Items can be returned to Apple within 30 days.

The iPad is a less expensive alternative to a MacBook Air, so I'm hopeful that it works extremely well.
