| Sonos or Mac as Source? Thanks for the tip on the plug. I had heard that was a solution for screen sharing lag. I didn't know it would be needed if you were using a remote app as well.My core question remains however..will the Mini+Audirvana combo be any better than the ... | |
| Sonos or Mac as Source? I briefly tried using my Macbook to control the headless Mini but the lag time on actions was kind of crummy. I have yet to try one of the remote apps for an iPad. Sonos interface just works so damn well!! Makes it hard to want to mess with someth... | |
| Mac Mini doesn't "see" Peachtree Grand So going back and forth with the Peachtree Audio guys (very helpful BTW) they determined there was a current leak across the USB ports between the Mini and the Grand. If I used my Apple Cinema monitor, which has a grounded plug as well as needing ... | |
| Mac Mini doesn't "see" Peachtree Grand Tried all the ports and I never installed any drivers on the MacBook Pro. I will try another cable.. The initial one was just a cheapo I had lying around from a printer. The X-1 version I have, isn't supposed to need any drivers. Might just have t... | |
| Sonos Products I will chime in here too. I have several ZP80s around the house for convenience and overall usage they are fantastic. In my main rig, I use a ZP80 into a Monarchy DIP then into a PS Audio DAC 3, then on to my Cary SLP-03 preamplifier and McIntosh ... | |
| Cullen Modded Sonos vs Monarchy DIP Gsherwood53--what file format are you using for your rips? Currently I have everything ripped in ALAC format, but I'm considering reripping in AIFF. I don't really like the WAV format as it only supports navigating in a file-folder structure from ... | |
| video processor & hdmi You should check out the new DVDO Edge. Not as tweakable as the VP50, but uses the same deinterlacing and scaling chips, has dual HDMI outs (one for A/V one for A only) and is only $799! Just about to be released. | |
| AIFF Codec I was under the impression that AIFF had little or no tagging/metadata support. If it does, would it be the best way to have uncompressed audio and still get all of the track/album info as well? I started out with WAV, but switched over to Apple L... | |
| Sonos DAC So I just learned the hard way about how poor the support is for WAV files within Sonos. I ripped my entire collection (300+) CDs and setup my Sonos system only to find that the only way to play tunes is navigating a file folder structure. Ugh!! I... | |
| Apple TV vs. Mini vs, Sonos Is there any sonic advantage to AppleTV v. Squeezebox/Duet if you're feeding and external DAC? Does one setup have more reliability/stability when streaming over your network? | |
| iTune screwing up WAV file data? Oh...Now I get it. In that case, I guess you're reliant on having to reuse the same hard drive, or have the drive mirrored in a backup.It also seems to me that depending on what hardware you use for reproduction, you should chose the file format a... | |
| iTune screwing up WAV file data? I'm curious to what you guys mean my not tagging it correctly? I've been torn among which format to use as I want the absolute best sound into my 2-channel system and don't use the library for my iPod. Storage space is a non-issue. Therefore I tho... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? This has been very informative and helpful for deciding how to start down the music-server path. I have a related, but different question. In addition to serving the music up to a Squeezbox and external DAC, I want to run a digital cable from the ... | |
| Add an Amp or Integrated to AVR? I'm back at it trying to improve my 2-channel sound. Thinking about adding a pre with a HT bypass in combination with the 5B-ST. That way my front 3 will still be voiced the same, but still get me out of the 3806 as a preamp. Crazy???? | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? On doing some more thinking, I've concluded that I really do not want to locate my amp/amps up near the speakers. If this were a 2-channel listening-only system, I wouldn't have a problem. But since it is my combined 2-channel, HT rig in a dedicat... |
