| How do you listen to new music? I listen through them in the background a couple of times first. Then pick a few tracks to "delve" into further. | |
| regular interconnect for digital signal transfer A video cable will work in a pinch. | |
| Building a Music Server that will play all formats Arguably the conversion from from one lossless file type to another should be identical as long as you do not change sampling rate and bit depth. Meaning it is still hi rez. FLAC = ALAC, WAV= AIFF. | |
| Building a Music Server that will play all formats There are Mac players that play FLAC (Fidelia, Pure Music, Decibel, Audirvana), but why not convert them to ALAC or AIFF?Songbird is ported to Mac as well. | |
| What happened to my bass? Plaster covered drywall is usaully thin coat plaster on plasterboard and much harder and reflective than regular drywall. | |

| Netgear cyber server for audio playback? I do not see the draw to this type of device, when a htpc can do all of it cheaper and most likely easier long term. I'd try to send it back if it does not sound ALOT better than your laptop... | |
