| Can someone give Lossless Music File 101? Tags are defined in the file structure for certain information associated with the music data (usually a song). Standardized tags include Album, Artist, Genre, Track Number, Release Date, Album Art, Last Played, Rating, etc. Helps one organize mus... | |
| Can someone give Lossless Music File 101? As far as sound quality goes, might look up some posts by Audioengr, I think he mods Transits to improve the clock, and I gather Transits take modding well. I personally dislike toslink, so you might get him to install a coax output instead too. ;... | |
| Can someone give Lossless Music File 101? Here's a little primer...WAV and AIFF are "wrappers" for PCM data, the first generally used in PC environments and the latter in Mac. This is, in effect, a "raw" CD data file. Since these are just wrappers, they don't have a lot of added stuff, li... | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell >if you are asking these questions, then you would be better>off going down to a casino and putting it all on black!Be fair now! Even if you know what you are doing in audio retailing, you may still have better odds at makin' a buck by going... | |
| The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo Think the mac mini has to be wired into your system (at least your display), so having it with you isn't really feasible. For the laptops, the theory is that the airport can be used to stream to a DAC, so you would have the airport next to your st... | |
| The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo Baroque_lover, the Mac Mini route is the way I went. I've got a massive NAS RAID setup with the library on it, and run iTunes via a Mac Mini with a BT keyboard and mouse.I'm actually thinking of going another route, however. I figure I can pick up... | |
| DAC with remote for input select? What about this:http://www.copperbox.com/lite/popinfo.php?lc_code=1177It autoswitches, so you not only don't need to get off the couch, you don't even have to exert finger pressure on a remote.I also have multiple inputs on my dCS gear switchable ... | |
| The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo Just got a pair of them in today... Nice looking--not 1/2" aluminum plate crowd nice, but OK for quasi-mass market stuff. I'll be interested in seeing how they look lit up and, more importantly, how they sound... | |

| Beware Sony CDs on your PCs More follow up, including a response purportedly from F4I, the creators of the rootkit. And possible legal actions.http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/11/more-on-sony-dangerous-decloaking.htmlApparently this DRM has been around a while. I ran RK... | |
| Any high quality music servers out there? I'll second or third (or whatever) the roll-it-yerself recs. I've got a mac mini (very quiet) in my main rig hooked up to a dCS stack via a Waveterminal U24--seriously can't tell the difference between that and my DV50s as a transport. I've got a ... | |
| What is a good combination for Proac Res 2.5? I've always run Proacs with tubes. Had a pair of quicksilver silver edn monos, but they were a mite dark. I'm running a pair of Response 2s with a pair of bridged solid state ARC D240 Mk IIs (pre is a tubed ARC LS-5 Mk III) and a pair of 3.8s with... | |
| Beware Sony CDs on your PCs Firefox is good, but the other answer is never executing something you don't trust. I've never trusted the content companies, so I have never executed any of the CD extra material on the discs I've gotten. | |
| Beware Sony CDs on your PCs Apparently it is fairly recent. From my quick read, it only installs if you use the media player on the CD. If you look at the CD listing on Amazon, it should say [Copy Protected Content] under the main title. Here's more info:http://www.sysintern... | |
| Beware Sony CDs on your PCs They have offered a "fix," but here's what one commenter said about the patch:The update is more than 3.5 megabytes in size, and it appears to contain new versions of almost all the files included in the initial installation of the entire DRM syst... |
