| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? I am using a G4 laptop out to a Waveterminal 24 ($159) and the Waveterminal directly into my integrated amp. The sound through the Waveterminal is at least as good the sound of my MAC changer (maybe a little better). I am trying to decide between ... | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac Well the whole project has, thus far, come off without a hitch. They system sounds excellent and I love having music at the scroll of a mouse. Now for the long, arduous task of importing all my music to iTunes.... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Not sure how to explain it but my new computer set-up does sound qualitatively better than my McIntosh MCD 205 changer (which IS saying something). I'm sure many dedicated cdp's would sound better. | |
| AAC or AppleLossless My system is set-up now and I am beginnning to import music to iTunes using AppleLossless. The sound quality through the Waveterminal U24 has far exceeded my expectations. It sounds great! | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Well, I finally got my music server together and I am very impressed with the sound. I am using a G4 laptop, a Lacie hard drive, and a Waveterminal U24. Music off of the hard drive sounds excellent, and I LOVE having my music accessible via iTunes. | |
| Polk XRt12 XM Tuner They are practically giving these things away. At Polk's website you can buy one right now for $269 and they are having a promotion where, when you do buy one, you get a mail in certificate for a free Roady II portable XM receiver (like, for a car... | |
| AAC or AppleLossless Not at all. My entire collection will easily fit on this 500Gb drive with no problem. So, I am not asking about this because of space issues. I am really only interested in the best quality. Apple Lossless it sounds like? | |
| AAC or AppleLossless I do plan to store all the music I import to a 500GB hardrive, and then pump it out through USB Waveterminal 24, and in the future, maybe a DAC. It sounds like the Apple lossless is not all its cracked up to be? There was an article a few weeks ba... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hchi: definitely let us know how the 9500 sounds on all formats once you have it broken in a bit. | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac I am about to construct such a system. I am starting with a G4 laptop, and external hard drive and a U24 Waveterminal. I will connect the waveterminal directly to my integrated. I will let you know how it goes. | |
| Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? McIntosh MA 6900 -- very musical -- hard to beat -- $4500 new and around 3K on the used market. | |
| Anti-cables vs Signalcable silver resolution Thanks, Grisslehamn! Enjoy the experiment and let us know what you think. I have not ordered either yet. If I had a short run I would but have a very long distance to cover (in biwire) so even these reasonably inexpensive cables add up. I am curre... | |
| mother passed away - pro recording help needed I am very sorry for your loss. I have had good results with a small portable tape recorder (size of a walkman) and small microphone of the kind that can be purchased at Radio Shack. My condolences. | |
| Linn Unidisc SC The stereophile reviewer did not seem to comment much on the use of the player as a preamp or using the units digital input. I like that the SC has a digital input. Do any other universal or SACD players have digital inputs?Anyone else using the SC? | |
| Anti-cables vs Signalcable silver resolution I too am curious about this comparison. I may just go ahead and try the anticables since they are so inexpensive. But, I would like to benefit from the expereince of others. |
