Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers
I suppose we'll just have to wait for some modder to come along and give us a digital out we can send along to our DACs... now would you prefer USB, Toslin or SPDIF LOLBTW I also ran a Waveterminal for a long time - when I got my G5 I finally swit... 
cd carousel for hard drive cd archive
ingenius attempt though!to second eddesilva - do a bit more reading and you will see that the whole benefit of this approach comes from reading packets off the disk using a CD-ROM drive - this is how the jitter is eliminated. And the better news i...

I think I see where the confusion is.Let's review a couple of concepts. Airport Extreme is Apple's implementation of 802.11G - WiFi. Keep in mind that Airport Extreme is exactly the same thing as a wireless card. And that Airport Express is a wire...

Lots of info here and on Audio Asylum in the PC Audio forum.Not quite sure what you are trying to do. It is possible to put a hard drive on a Ethenet network and have it be independent of the computer. This is called a network area storage device ... 
Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers
Marco - You know, this article is kind of like a party trick - neat but why bother. Where we may differ is that I find it pretty amazing that a reviewer would go out on a limb and say that a iPod sounds decent through a high resolution system. See... 
Diagonal room Setup....
Mine is pretty much diagonal by default (16x12x10). I have a nice little triangle with me in the middle. Even got a desk in the mix. And the floor is carpeted. Behind me are bookcases and two small (12x24) horizontal windows. In one space I put a ... 
Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers
Grakesh -There are two audio outputs on most iPods. The headphone jack is lower level (Vms) and can be controlled on the iPod. As Goatwuss has written, its less then ideal, even though its very convenient in a stand alone application.What is audib... 
Where should I start for computer audio??
The iPod can use the lossless files - though it obviously reduces the number of songs that the iPod can hold. I am reasonably certain that you can downconvert a lossless file as well - try doing a search in this forum, on the apple site and on aud... 
Simple Digital Music Server - Opinions Please
Works just like you are hoping - I second Cytocycle, i would take a look at the Squeezebox before you spring for the Roku.Read my post to a similar link for more detail. It's in Agon PC Audio Forum in a thread called Where Should I Start For Compu... 
wireless S/PDIF from PC to DAC?
Assuming you have a upsampling DAC, all you need to do is get a WiFi (wireless) SLIM DEVICE Squeezebox. Locate the Squeezebox next to your DAC and use the SPDIF out to feed the DAC.There is no particular benefit to doing the upsampling earlier in ... 
Bit perfect digital output from pc
Bailey - the Mac is a very easy way to go. Reason being that iTunes does a really nice job integrating the ripping with the library management functions. And while a few very expert people may argue the point, you get this ease of use with absolut... 
Can a PC match the quality of the best CD players?
Studioray - you do in fact 'get it'. Good job listening - it really is a headcracker since it flies in the face of everything that we know as "audiophools".Once you get the data out of the PC, getting great sound is all about everything you know a... 
Thoughts on AES DJH signature preamp
I got the straight AES-3 preamp used on 'Gon and then had the good folks at Cary do a few things to it: added oil caps, a Noble volume pot, changed some resistors, added a second pair of outputs and rewired with Kimber. Am not sure how close it is...
