| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? A bump to Waltersalas -- how's it going with the Berkeley? | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? The DACs I have used are a Lavry DA and an Audio Note DAC1x Signature. My electronics are Gamut driving Dynaudio Confidence C!s.I have just ordered a well-regarded Toslink cable to see if I can improve the performance of the Mini's digital out | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? Will you be going into a DAC? My experience thus far has been that the Squeezebox digital out beats Toslink out of the Mac Mini. If you are going analog out of both devices, I have no doubt that the Squeezebox will win easily.Ultimately, I am look... | |
| DAC1 or DAC1 USB? Chenc -- maybe it's just me, but your post makes no sense. You compared using USB and coax from WHAT and into WHAT? The Cal Audio is better than WHAT? | |
| DAC1 or DAC1 USB? The thing is, the USB implementation on the DAC1 is reported to be, uh, not so great. (This is hearsay, so I may be wrong.) I think we can all look forward to much improved USB DAC performance in the near future. | |
| SP Tech Timepiece 3.0-Dynaudio C1 comparison? Which model, T_S_Monk? | |
| Using EAC …. How to… I don't know, don't have iTunes running under Windows. Good question, though. | |
| Using EAC …. How to… That's correct. But I have a Thinkpad here and I'll try to do some experimenting. I also have XP on my Mac and could try EAC that way. | |
| Using EAC …. How to… I wonder about the need for EAC. When you use it to rip a CD, are you getting different/better results than you get ripping with iTunes (error correction enabled)?On the Mac side, I have been comparing iTunes with a program called MAX, in which I ... | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? What works just like the Squeezebox for much less money? | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? There are a few people who argue you should go uncompressed, that lossless compression, even though bit perfect, loses something in the uncompressing process, perhaps due to some codec anomaly. I know, it doesn't make any sense, but hey, this is t... | |
| Possible to convert Apple Lossless to WAV.? Right. I think you'll lose any album art you have if you convert to WAV. I also think you have bad information about the limitations of iTunes, but regardless, you should be able to find an alternative piece of software that will run on the Mac an... | |
| High quality music server on the cheap...sort of Thanks for the data point. You are the only person I have ever say that. | |
| High quality music server on the cheap...sort of tunes is not up to the task of handling a large library of .wav files and will not let you add album artwork to .wav files.In what way is it not up to the task? Regarding uncompressed formats and album artwork, you could go with AIFF. | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? I'm in complete agreement with Mike. I've owned Placette products and they definitely qualify. No tube preamp I've ever owned qualifies, though there may be some out there, but that's not to say they don't have a lot of other things to recommend t... |
