| Device to record & playback music ? There is another device called a personal computer you can also use to perform this task. All you need to do is add the appropriate card. It is said that one can actually transform LPs to computer files in this way. | |

| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? Just to add on to Edo who has certainly put together a nice rig -Running out of a G5 is a nice way to go. Before I moved to USB, I ran the Wireworld SuperNova Toslink from my G5 to my TriVista and it was very very good. Fine solution to 15 feet. N... | |
