| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? I have a squeezebox (Benchmark dac) and have no drop out/buffering issues w/internet radio. While I wish they were wav files, they actually sound decent through the dac. Better than mp3's, which they are. W/o the dac...they sound like mp3's. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Not sure on the cables. I'm using the stock firewire that came with the MAudio and no issues. I have seen upgraded usb cables on line but have't seen any firewire by the high end mfg (Cardas, etc). I would bite if I saw one.Good luck with your upg... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF I like the M Audio alot. I tried the Trends with the stock and the battery power supply and neither worked for me. I just dismissed the usb altogether. The Maudio into my monarchy dip into Music fidelity XDac 3/PSU gets me close to my Esoteric xo3... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF I didn't say the manual was mistaken. | |
| What are you using to clean plasma screen? I use the micro cloth on my Elite Kuros as well. I have the monster kit for other screens but have not used on the Elite. It really doesn't pick up any dust (The Elite Plasma) so no issues yet. I have had the Plasma for over a year. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF USB 1.1 still no where as fast as Firewire. USB still utilizes the CPU in your configuration and transmits packets, not data streams. Try firewire. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF ...you can (and I do) convert firewire to spdif for my dac (M Audio Firewire solo). Do a search on firewire vs usb for audio. Here is just one of the many links I have found:http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=526020I haven't used the Echo. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF The USB 2.0 can pass 24/96, but not USB 1.0. (USB 2.0 maxes out at 24/96). USB also uses the CPU which drains power usage (though there are some new USB utilazations by third party manufactuures which bypass the CPU issue). I have long been a prop... | |
| Squeezebox Internet radio 'sputtering? Have you disabled the firewall? | |
| It costs me $100 a week to listen to vinyl Life is expensive. If you do it right. | |
| Shunyata Python Helix. How good they are? I love my Pythons. Absolutely agree with Blindjims description. I replaced my Taipan Alpha's with the Pythons on my amps and the difference is exactly as described. I think part of the magic is system synergy-I use shunyata hydra and all power cor... | |

| pairing an amp and cd player with B&W 685 I have had the 685's for a year and they sound great (I use the plugs w/o the center closed) and the highs are wonderful. They each sit on two Symposium Fat Pads, on desktop (well worth the upgrade, IMHO). I paired them with a Cayin A50T Intergrat... | |
| Surround Sound Processor Suggestions I wouldn't suggest anyone upgrading their pre/s without something that allows the new audio codecs. The difference is amazing. | |
| pixelization? My guess is that HD, needing a larger bandwith, would display the compression more so, than SD, and, SD, being a lower resolution, would mask the compression better. I did a few installations in my friends houses, who use cable, and I was able to ... |
