| Best music server for the money CuriousWhich Windows Server 2012 did you use? | |
| Best music server for the money Yes I know it doesn't. Just curious how you bypassed the requirement for the 160GB - it just stopped b4 installation | |
| Best music server for the money Doesn't Windows Server need 160GB of HDD space before you can install the OS? How did you install it on a 60GB SSD? | |
| How to set up a Mac mini for music only? FWIW I thought my 2012 i7 2.6GHz QC Mini sounded better than my other 2010 C2D 2.4GHz. Plus the Atom vs i7 on the PC side - I started seeing a pattern. | |
| How to set up a Mac mini for music only? zd542It's not something I can explain. I don't know how to explain why Windows 8.1 sounded better than Windows 7 to me either. As you said, even an Atom processor has more than enough power to play back music files but there was a noticeable impro... | |
| How to set up a Mac mini for music only? From a hardware perspective:I'd start with upping the RAM to as large as possible. With the 2014 Minis, this means getting the factory upgrade as the RAM is no longer user replaceable. Not an issue with the 2012 and earlier models.I'd go with an S... | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed I don't think Onhwy61 is reading the article right. He didn't say the art expert is analysing blind. He said, they don't make a conclusion based on small samples of an artwork when comparing real vs forgery. But the conclusion is based on a long p... | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed Art Dudley has an interesting comparison in this month's stereophile.Two of the examples are brilliant.a. you don't ask an art expert to make determination of whether a painting is a forgery or fake using a blind ABX test. b. a blind "sip" test sh... | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed I don't disagree but suspect the reasons are perhaps more extensive.I do agree that to really get to grips with new gear, you often have to listen to it over a long period of time. Music can sound different depending on our moods - I read that our... | |
| Mac Mini doesn't "see" Peachtree Grand You might want to try the USB-X. I think it allows you to change the way the Earth is connected on the USB power lines. You might want to use the same distributor as the preamp | |
| Home Theater / HiFi Stereo - 2 in 1 Assuming you already have speakers for your HT, I'd see if I can spend the 2500 on a new integrated amplifier - like the PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium integrated with HT bypass.Don't try to compromise to fit everything inside the budget and regret it... | |
| Mac Mini doesn't "see" Peachtree Grand did you manage to get it to work? | |
| Mac Mini doesn't "see" Peachtree Grand Try a different USB port and see if that helps. Also try using a different USB cable - some custom cables disable the power connection which may prevent the devices from handshaking correctly. If that doesn't work...The X-1 shouldn't need a USB dr... | |
| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 Thanks for your understanding, Brf.But no. I saved up for the XDS-1 because it did provide a noticeable jump over my previous DACs. And I would have expected better support.FWIW I have been listening to the PerfectWave DirectStream recently and I ... | |
| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 I thought the DAC2X and the TSDX were basically the same as the XDS v1 split into two boxes so I don't really know if it is really a hardware update on MDAT2 |
