| Does one NEED multiple amps? I would say there is no such thing...no amp is perfect. You choose which set of imperfections you can live with. And trust me when I tell you that Terry owns "quality" amps. He has more quality amps than I have fingers and toes! That's one of the ... | |
| mac itunes and dCs Elgar Plus You need to convert USB from your mac to spdif..not pcm ( the dac does that)Try an M-audio Transit and if you like it you can go to Red Wine or Empirical for mods. I have not heard the Transit (my dac has a usb input) but I have not read anything ... | |
| PC audio tweaks? My iBook G4/TwinDac stack sits on a Townshend sink...everything seperated by cones or Final Labs bearings. Also, I have a sheet of Stillpoints ESR paper between computer and dac. Try listening to the G4 running off battery...you may hear a lower n... | |
| USB outboard sound card comment I have a TwinDac Plus. It is really an outboard dac, not a soundcard. it has a usb input though. It requires USB 2.Steve | |
| ASIO on PC & Mac with iTunes & Apple Lossless When using the iMac, why do you have to use drivers? Because of the Waveterminal? I use an ibook straight to a usb dac....no drivers, no nothing...it just goes and sounds great. Having to go to spdif really screws everything up doesn't it? Why are... | |
| Which DAC for computer based system? I am very happy with my TwiDac Plus. When I bought it, the price was over your limit, but it is now available with the battery supply as an option, so maybe the price is under 2,000. With the dollar against the Euro, I don't know. You can always a... | |
| Better sound quality than the I-pod? You need to go out and listen for yourself I guess. I'm pretty anal and I would never call the Ipod shrill. I have noticed that the bass is stronger using line out and an outboard amp versus the internal amp. I would never call it deficient though... | |
| Better sound quality than the I-pod? What's wrong with the sound of the ipod? People like to bash who ever is at the top of the mountain. The headphones that you buy (don't go with ths stock Apple ones) will have more to do with the sound than any differences in the players. You migh... | |
| What USB DACs are available today and... TwinDac PlusWavelengthmany other cheaper alternatives like the bithead and computer mfg offerings....You don't need a fast hard drive for music...I'm using an 80g Toshiba notebook drive per Gordon Rankin. It's not the cheapest route to go, but it'... | |

| iPod: Questions and Options Shure E3c's and Apple Lossless. Enjoy. | |
| best DAC for PC server USB 2 out to a dac like the Wavelength, Apogee, or TwinDac Plus. I'm sure there will be others soon. I can only comment on the TwinDac. It's good...how good I don't know. Better than my SCD777es for sure. I've read remarks from someone who unloade... | |
| Copper vs. Silver interconnects I went from silver foil (Lewis, Allen Wright, Goertz) to continious cast copper from Chimera Labs (Advantage is the product name) Not even close. The copper was better by far. If they are not an improvement, Dennis will give you your money back. H... | |
| iPod to DAC No, you can't get raw data out of an iPod. | |
| New Solution for PC Audio Just because it's convenient doesn't mean it will sound good. People don't buy one box amplifiers if they seek the ultimate. I send the usb output of an iBook into a TwinDac plus...how hard is that?Steve |
