| Can you play DVD-A discs on a MacBook Pro? Rebbi, while I'm not a Mac user I have used DVDAE to perform the same process on a PC and the results are excellent. I don't believe that there is any loss of fidelity in that the software simply extracts the digital data and outputs it in the sel... | |
| Can you play DVD-A discs on a MacBook Pro? While this won't allow you to play DVD-A discs directly on a Mac, you could use software like DVD Audio Extractor which is available for the Mac OS. It extracts the audio tracks to WAV files which can then be played on a Mac. Hope that this helps! | |
| Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ? Soix - I haven't received that issue yet from my subscription, so if you could provide a basic overview of the comparison that you mentioned it would be most appreciated. TIA! | |

| Backing Up My Ex HD Problems.... Sorry, but I just noticed in your system link that you're a Mac user. Btw, you have a very nice system! Unfortunately the SyncBack software that I linked to above is only for PCs. I'm sure you can find some similar backup software for the Mac, but... | |
| Backing Up My Ex HD Problems.... It seems likely that Albertporter's assessment is correct, and that you may have created multiple copies of your Music folder that are exhausting the available space on your WD drive. I'd also suggest formatting the WD and then using backup softwa... | |
| Hi- Res download newbie Dan, there are many choices for software that will perform file format conversions and also to burn hi-res files to DVD. Just remember that the PWT is pretty fussy when it comes to playing burned DVDs, as they must be burned as data discs in the U... | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator Hermanz3, I would suggest first contacting Esoteric directly to find out whether the G-03X clock would actually offer an improvement to the K-01's internal clock circuit. They have the clock specs for every one of their products and it is therefor... | |

| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport Discussions about various firmware releases affecting the sonics are all about updates to the bridge firmware and not the DAC's. The PWD firmware updates have addressed several issues unrelated to sound quality, but some of the issues addressed in... | |
