| iPod to DAC Connection Apple's 5th generation ipod was introduced this past week and their lack of interest in the audiophile market was once again evident. Like past generation ipods, their newest model lacks a digital output for connecting to a DAC. So, we still wait ... | |
| McCormack DNA-125/225 Upgrades A recent experience to supplement previous posts on this topic: I wanted to audition a $2k MC cartridge so I took my DNA 225 SMc modified amp with me to the dealer to use with the dealer's speakers, of the same brand and model as my own. The other... | |
| Vandersteen 5a. How refined a product are they Didactically,Your pen name shows an admirable degree of self awareness. | |
| iPod to DAC Look up the "IPod to DAC Connection" thread in the Audiogon archives. Several options are described on how to play music stored on a computer through a DAC. | |
| Audio Research SP9 MKII to MKIII Upgrade I had the MKIII upgrade done a year ago. There is a noticable improvement in sound quality, that I believe was worth the $800 cost. While the advice to sell your MKII and buy a MKIII on Audiogon is economically sound, I should mention that ARC inc... | |
| Looking for a tube DAC. Yioryos, You are of course correct-- it is Musical Fidelity, not Mobile Fidelity. That's what happens when you press "Submit as is" instead of reviewing it first!! And I own one so I feel doubly stupid! No doubt it is bettered by some of the other... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Paul Simon Hearts and Bones. | |
| Apple Airport Express Very Cool Product I'm running the optical feed into my MF Trivista CD/SACD player/DAC and using Apple Loseless importing, I can't tell a difference between iTunes music played over the Airport Express and the original CD (tentative finding, more listening sessions ... | |
| iPod to DAC Connection Jayboard,I was never able to find a "dumb ethernet hub", which the people at the Apple help line said I would have to use instead of a switch or router. It would have worked to run an ethernet cable directly from out of the computer to the Airport... | |

| iPod to DAC Connection An update: I got the Squeezebox, hocked it up with an ethernet cable and, with much help from Kevin at Slim Devices, got it to play my iTunes playlists. Then I noticed it would not play all the songs on the playlist. Turns out that because of some... | |
| iPod to DAC Connection All interesting comments and suggestions. I am now leaning toward getting the Slim Devices Squeezebox ($200) mentioned by Macallan25, which is hooked up to the computer (iMac in my case) by either an Ethernet cable or wireless system, and which ha... | |
| iPod to DAC Connection Budrew: I'm sure you are right about the size of the market, but that is true about most of audiophile equipment, so I'm hoping that if it can be done some company will be willing to sell such a cable. I wonder what you'd see if you cut open a Fir... | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? I have a concert violinist and a pianist for neighbors (they teach in the music department at the university in town). I get invited periodically to their homes to listen for pre concert recitals (I realize how lucky I am!). So, I hear "live" musi... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Solveig's Song on The Very Best of Lucia Popp (EMI Classics double CD). Whenever I play that for someone they are quiet for a few moments before saying that it was one of the most beautiful pieces of music they ever heard. Popp to me has hands dow... |
