| The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo I'm not a fan of proprietary boxes, but ran across an announcement those of you looking at the Olive might be interested in--their new "Opus":http://www.olive.us/p_bin/ | |
| Balanced Y Adapters--Where to Find I bought a pair of Kimber KCAGs. Just remember to get the right male/female couplings on the right ends... (oops!). | |
| Computer-Based Audio Primer Tobz-my "audiophile" PC is a fanless, headless mini-ITX system with a NEC spinpoint drive. It is dead silent, and uses a Waveterminal U24 USB audio output device. Doesn't take much computing horsepower to route audio out the USB, so I really would... | |
| Going over to the Dark Side? For those thinking of external drives, I just ran across this URL--haven't used it, but the theory sounds good and it may quiet down your environment:http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/smartdrive.html | |
| After ripping with EAC, what? Whups, I said DIVX when I meant TIVX--this concept seems cool:http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/dvico-tvix-hd-m5000u-156770.phpAlthough I understand the execution isn't quite there. Maybe after the next firmware upgrade.I'm right th... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? >>>CAVEAT... After typing all this, I suddenly realized this assumes you have a PC, not a Mac. Similar principles should apply in the Mac environment, but this assumes a PC...Let's see, you *copied* the songs from your main drive to the e... | |
| Going over to the Dark Side? It really does take a *long* time to do it on the fly... If I load my iPod Nano with a thousand songs, I'd have to start it the night before I wanted to fly... | |
| After ripping with EAC, what? Yeah, its too bad that PCs won't support a normal session and a RDP session at the same time; maybe Longhorn will be able to deal with that. My next project is rehabilitating a system I used to run on the Airpanel--the original impetus to buy it--... | |
| After ripping with EAC, what? Cytocycle, can you use a Tablet PC as a remote desktop under the windows RDP protocol? I find browser-based interfaces typically pretty bad--hence the Airpanel. But, I'd like to implement the same kind of touchscreen interfaces in other places and... | |
| Going over to the Dark Side? I'm with cw in the sense that if you are going to take the time to rip, you might as well rip in a format you can use in a home system, since I think things are irreversibly headed that direction. I'll differ in that I like taking my little iPod n... | |
| WHICH WIDE SCREEN HAS SAME VERT. HEIGHT AS MY 36 BTW, there is an easier way to do 4:3 TVs--its a right triangle, and given the height of 3 and width of 4, it has to be a perfect 3:4:5 triangle. | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Steve Earle. | |
| WHICH WIDE SCREEN HAS SAME VERT. HEIGHT AS MY 36 Audio_girl--you know the 16:9 aspect ratio, and you know the desired height is 22.5. So, divide desired height by 9 to get 2.5 and multiply by 16 to get desired width of 40. Diagonal screen size is (h^2 + w^2)^.5, or 45.9. You may find a 46" 16:9 ... | |
| Simple Digital Music Server - Opinions Please Amen...(OK, this is strange. A'gon server doesn't like one word responses? What is the minimal response needed?) | |
| Simple Digital Music Server - Opinions Please Zaikesman--the Masterlink is a single box unit with no control over how ripping/storage/playback is performed, and is vastly different from, say, my PC system which uses EAC, foobar/iTunes, and an external USB-based audio device. I'm sure you hear... |
