Using Apple + iTunes to stream - I need help
I remember copying my iTunes Library XML from the PC to Mac. Never done it the other way around. I did have to do a global search and replace to point to the right directory/folderDon't know if it will fix yours cos I use AIFF for precisely this r... 
Best player for iPhone, pad
I use XLD on Mac to rip my CDs to AIFF. XLD can also rip to WAV and Apple Lossless (runs a compressed lossless algorithm like FLAC).XLD works similarly to EAC which does error correction and checks against an online database.

USB Camera Kit is an attachment to the iPad and adds a USB Type A port and makes the iPad a USB host.Using a regular A to B cable, you can connect that USB port to a USB DAC. This works as long as the DAC is USB Audio Class 1.0 compliant (up to 24...

Yes but as some articles have stated, that's a hack that works and we don't know if Apple would disable this. As we know, the same connector doesn't allow that same feature on the iPhone so we know it can be locked out. The official Apple endorsed...

The music player in yr iPhone/iPad plays lossless AIFF, WAV and Apple Lossless. No need to purchase a new player.There's FLACplayer that I use to play FLAC but it is not as easy to manage my playlists and library with that.ps there's a hardware li... 
Jplay vs Amarra, PC vs. Mac
You can buy CAPS preassembled fromhttp://shop.smallgreencomputer.com/CAPS-v3-Zuma-CAPS3-Zuma.htm 
Which USB Cable do you like using
I think even Gordon Rankin which pioneered the use of async USB and has one of the better implementations of async USB today still doesn't completely disregard the quality of USB cables. 
D-Sonic, Wyred4Sound or NewClear Monoblocks?
I'd look at the W4S mAmp. It's based off the third gen ICE modules (the SX uses second gen) 
Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou
I tested the W4S DAC2 with its own internal USB as well as the Wavelink HS. The Wavelink HS was IMHO better. Less veiled and with a better sense of imaging and soundstage. 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
The reason Oppo appeals to a lot of us is that it is one of the few universal players left. Denon and Marantz are also the last remaining stalwarts but I've found they tend to have slower boot up times and/or more compatibility problems reading so... 
Rega DAC ...what else should I consider ?

HRT DAC upgrade vs. Pure Music ?
Try BitPerfect on the app store. You might just be pleasantly surprised. 
Pure Music or Amarra with iMac
Audirvana Plus also gets my vote for ease of use, and all round capability in playing every format (DSD ISO, DSF etc). It falls short of Amarra/PM's plug in/roomEQ capabilities but those I can live without. That said, I heard Audirvana Plus is goi... 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
emmmDenon 1910 DVDDenon 4010 BDDenon 2012 BDDenon 3313 BDAnd these are the only ones that have passed through my system :) 
Rega DAC ...what else should I consider ?
How much is the Rega?For my money, the new TEAC UD-501 is hard to beat.It has dual coax, dual Toslink and a USB input that supports up to 32bit/384kHz AND 2xDSD!Supports both XLR and RCA outputs. Uses dual balanced mono architecture and TI BB1795 ...
