how do YOU stream?
Since there are so many options out there I thought it might enlighten others as to the options available.
For example - my configuration
I stream my digital music (downloads and cd's) via my iMac (intel dual core processor) computer.
I use Front Row to control playback with theapple remote and iTunes to rip cd's into music library. For damaged CD's I rip using MAX.
The music is stored on a dual raid drive NAS drive to mitigate lost music if one hard drive fails
Network link is via network cable (faster transmission speed)
I connect the computer to the DACmagic via toslink (optical) cable
The DACmagic is connected to the amp via stagger Silver Solid interconnects.
Initial Problems encountered:
Not knowing the Mac too well, finding out that the toslink required a mini adapter that plugged into the speaker output jack required some Investigation.
The iMac is capable of outputting 24/96 kHz digital output by using the optical outptut and setting the 24/96 kHz output using the midi program that can be found in the utilities folder.
Please include helpful hints
Thanks
