| Which hard drive for digital music server? Hi Ed - Curious why you decided to go this route. No argument about the time spent ripping, but why not just do a one for one back up every so often (say monthly or everytime you add 'n' amount of data, and save the cost of at least two drives? Or... | |
| Which hard drive for digital music server? Sten - Look at that site carefully - that is a RAID 5 package which is a redundant array designed for serious enterprise applications - essentially you are only getting one or two of the four drives worth of storage - the rest is redundant. Not in... | |
| iTunes idiot needs some help Cw - apple lossless is just that - lossless. Especially on an iPod. My understanding is that copying limitations are strictly associated with material purchased from the iTunes Store - which as far as I know does not sell either lossless or uncomp... | |
| Which hard drive for digital music server? The new gen Seagates 7200.8 (not the old 7200.7) in 200Gb and up are considered to be the best by many. Have not seen the 500 released yet, but have a 400 dedicated to my iTunes library. 5 year warranty. Awesome - meaning I installed it and haven'... | |
| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? Hi guys -I agree this is the future - I keep flogging the USB DAC idea - powered by iTunes and 6 billion downloads a year versus a declining CD market it seems a no brainer at many market levels...I too have had excellent results with the Waveterm... | |
| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? To Jax - I agree with you. But you know I am amazed by this Rankin fellow. At your recommendation, I read his website again - especially the following:"On power up of the computer the 2 devices negotiate services... Since the USB receiver only has... | |
| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? In my experience - and I am a Mac guy, not a Windows guy - it will work. But this is also a bit like saying cables are cables and tubes are tubes. Meaning that while it will work, it is probably not the best way to get where you want to go. There ... | |
| Best Used Bang for Buck if I Finally SWITCH ? Hello - rabid Mac guy here. First, lets debunk the whole thing about more programs. There are about 10,000 programs for the mac - maybe more. Safe to say that most of them are as specialized or useless as the 10,000+ for the PC.MSFT, Adobe and all... | |
| AAC or AppleLossless If you want maximum quality - that is to say to use a hard drive as a source for a reference quality redbook system, you need to rip in Apple Lossless, .wav or .aiff. Let me try to give you some insights into the pros and consBecause it is not a p... | |
| Airport Express compared to High End Transport. A bit off the thread but I hope this is helpful. I had been running a G4 with USB out into a Waveterminal, then taking the SPDIF into a modded Music Fidelity TriVista with a Stealth Varidig. Doing everything in Apple Lossless. This is pretty damn ... | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? Hi -Beyond the forums here and at AA you can find a wealth of information at Vacuum Tube Valley. According to one of their incredibly well researched tube profiles, the KT88 was a descendant of the 6550 which in itself was designed to meet the nee... | |
| grover huffman cables Hi -I recently got a set of his IC's with his base RCA connectors and while they are not completely burned in I like them enough to keep them. I have them between my AES preamp and a Sophia Baby Electric which I use with my AKG 1000 headphones. NO... | |
| Thoughts on Stealth-Varidig digital cable? IMHO this is a phenomenal cable - I have the RCA pair with the small (Furu?) locking connectors.Once this cable settled in, it completely transformed my system - I used the Stealth between my Waveterminal USB (connected to my Macintosh in which I ... | |
| Better sound quality than the I-pod? Hi - This for Brooks question -Just upgraded from a G4 to a G5. On the G4 I sent a USB signal to a Waveterminal, then took the SPDIF out from the Waveterminal to the DAC. Now with the G5 I use a Toslink directly to the DAC. After a few days my pre... | |
| Cable for iPod Hi - I got one of the first Audiences ever and it rocks - even makes a difference with our junker Sony Boombox. That IMHO makes it a real deal tweak. Monster also has a cable and we use one of theirs (actually just their RCA pair to mini) into our... |
