i don't hook up my mac music server directly to my audio equipment, even if it is 2 feet away. i never use USB, always coax into the dac, toslink glass into a jitter device from airport express or apple tv's, even if the dac handles jitter i use a jitter device. my audio room is 2 floors away from my server, my den audio equipment is 2 feet away and still use an airport express. my other rooms are cabled using cat5e running gige speed with switches, so their is no network issues if i'm running multiple destinations from the server at the same time.
Question about a music server
I have entertained going to a music server of some type. I have a cd collection of just over 700 discs. How much storage space would I need? I have an imac w/ itunes but don't think this would work. The thought of ripping all those cd's isn't appealing but the convenience after sure is.
Thanks!
Thanks!
