What happened to my Rowland?
Have you checked the fuses? 
New Intel Mac-mini to external DAC
If you have a DAC with only coax input, what options do you have if your source is Toslink out? There are converters (adapters?), but I have to wonder what sort of compromises that route entails. 
Best picture from an under $400 DVD player
Dan, if you decide you want to splurge a little more on your video set-up, may I suggest you get one of the Panasonic digital receivers, which run less than $300 I believe. With these, you can take the coax S/PDIF out from the Oppo directly to the... 
USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC?
Does anyone have any experience or opinions about Toslink to coax converters (maybe it's an adapter and not a converter)? 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
Avalon speakers have very high labor content, too. Have you looked at the cabinetry? But it's the cabinetry that contributes a large share of the cost to dynamic speakers, which is why planars can seem like a bargain. Likewise minimal-cabinet desi... 
Yamaha NS-1000M
I owned them for a year or two around 1976-77. Replaced with Quads. I don't think I ever powered them properly and, back in that day, we didn't know about putting them up on stands, break in, etc.. They really captured my fancy when I auditioned t...

Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
I had the same problem when I first got mine and managed to solve it, but now I can't remember how. I will try to figure it out, but I think it has to do, as someone on AA suggested, with the overall gain settings you establish. Ambient noise does... 
USB digital ouput or Toslink from a Mac Mini?
[Tagging this so I will be sure to see the responses.] 
Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They?
I'm curious about the relationship between listening volume and the "rightness" in these speakers. Compared to the Harbeths, do they need to go louder before the rightness truly materializes? 
Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They?
Lou, while you go about establishing a dealer network, do you have plans to show your wares at any upcoming audio shows, such the HE in Los Angeles in June or the Rocky Mountain festival in Denver in October? 
J.Rowland Is it possible to shut off the display
No kidding? My dealer said no, but he may have been wrong and if it is a subtle change, I would have assumed it wasn't there at all. So is there a way to know it's back to center other than by ear?
