| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Hmm, have you seen the price of my cables?? We have really suffered at the hands of the gold price, and our prices for our top end cables, which have a lot of gold in them has rocketed up alarmingly.Since the computer is the master clock then the ... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Interesting point about optical. Optical has a bad rap based partly on early poor implementations and partly on ignorance. The main issue is reflections and so there are many small issues to deal with when constructing a good optical cable. Just a... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Tbg, I loved how Foobar was so customisable so that you could pretty much make it work however you wanted. It is certainly not friendly till you familiarise yourself with the myriad of options to customise, and that takes time. I have never had a ... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Absolutely agree re online HD libraries. The problem is there are so many firms that need to change their models for this to happen. It ought to be here now given the capabilities of the technologies. But I know from first hand experience those th... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Sorry Chadeffect, we must have posted at the same time and then I got distracted. I agree that it is hard to see the current state of the art of computer audio being at all mature, and that is one of my concerns about Amarra. Right now it is worth... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Incredible. | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Oh my goodness. There is just too much irrelevant BS there to respond to mate. Let's get back to topic. In my experience I have gotten better sound from MACs than PCs, despite being prejudiced against MACs. Particularly when Amarra is brought into... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... To answer your first para Tbg - familiarity and control are the main reasons - but also the wealth of free applications for the PC. Now I am learning more about Unix I can see that you can get a lot of control with Macs too. But I can't help mysel... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Chadeffect, you can also tweak the Mac (much as I haven't enjoyed that much - Apple does not make it easy), and with the latest versions of OS X, you can install it on a PC build. I do agree that the way Mac vertically integrates the OS and the bo... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... I have to say I am a bit stunned at how expressing opinions on Audiogon that others don't like or don't agree with gets personal attacks, accusations of bias, of not having actually heard what I have expressed a view on. Is this normal here? Why i... | |
| empirical audio or lynx aes 16 sound card Airport express does sound good Lenny_pt and especially for the price. What can make it sound better is something like the Pace Car in mode 3 with the Airport Express modded and slaved to it. But the Pace Car and the modding process is expensive u... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Blindjim, you have accused me of a few things, and with no justification. What is it you have to hide? The statement that bits is bits does say it all. Timing of those bits is critical to great sound and I am surprised there are still people that ... | |
| empirical audio or lynx aes 16 sound card I agree Blindjim. None of these interfaces eliminate all of the jitter created upstream from them, in my experience. | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... I guess because the Mac audio stack is better than the Windows one, its a genuine multi-tasking OS and even without Amarra they sound better. This isn't about finding another use for your PC, it is about dedicating and optimising a computer to ser... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... PS Audio don't have any dealers in this part of the world and I have found that PS Audio don't respond to email inquiries unfortunately. The Perfect Wave DAC would be interesting with the ethernet bridge. It will be interesting to see whether the ... |
