Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products?
If I can use a Touch to control the SB3, that may be the solution I'm looking for. 
Review: Tube Research Labs M-225 mono blocks Amplifier
I recently purchased a TRL D225 amp, the stereo version of the M225 monos. I would echo the comments above. This amp is simply outstanding. The one thing that really stood out for me was, it's absolutely dead quiet. Like, crazy quiet. Like, I can'...

Let us know what you find. When using Toslink out of the Mac Mini, open the application called "Audi Midi", choose the external output and set it to 24-bit and 96KHz.I finally had a chance to mess around with this a little. I connected my Mac Mini...

Drubin-How can the background be "too black"? Do you mean, kind of lifeless?I'm starting out with an inexpensive "glass" toslink and a mini adapter. They should be here early next week. That should tell me if I'm even in the ball park. If so, then...

Rbstehno-Any recommendations for a "good quality toslink". I don't even know where to begin looking or what to look for.

I stopped at the Apple store on the way home, thinking (wrongly) that they would have a mini to toslink digital cable. Apparently the only place I can get one of these is online? So it will be a few days before I'll be able to do any comparisons.

Drubin-My reasons for wanting to use a Mini are similar. I can't stand the display on the SB3, but I don't want to give up the convenience of a server. I will be going into a DAC, but not a USB DAC. Also, my Squeezbox has the Bolder digital mods a...

I guess I'm going to have to hook my mini up to my system and compare it head-to-head with my Bolder modded Squeezebox. I'm very interested to hear the results.

When using an iPod Touch as a remote, can you see iTunes on the Touch or do you still need a monitor? It would be great to be able to search, scroll, etc right on the Touch and not even have a monitor in the room. 
The Most You Have Paid For Shipping
I shipped a McCormack amp to Taiwan, via DHL. Cost the buyer about $325. 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Grannyring-Your words are the exact ones I used today in an email to a friend to describe the D225, "effortless, composed", I thru in "balanced" and the fact that it never sounds strained or over-driven. I guess that's the same as composed. : )I l... 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Just a quick update on the D225.Keep in mind the amp is essentially brand new and not burned in at all.There is no part of the spectrum that is exaggerated, it is smooth from top to bottom, like I haven't heard before. Even at really low volumes t... 
Best Integrated, period.
Sorry, not sure why it's not working. If you search "TRL" it will pop up. Here's the name of the thread."TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp"

TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
I just purchased the TRL D225 that was listed here on A'gon. I was kind of surprised that it was still available, it had already been listed for 9 days when I bought it. I haven't heard the amps, but am familiar with Paul's work. I owned a Sony 90...
