| Audiophile USB to PCM I've used the M-Audio Sonica and switched to the Edirol b/c it sounded better to me... I've now switched to the Waveterminal U24 because it sounds better than the Edirol, and found out the reason may be b/c the Edirol outputs at 48 kHz, not native... | |

| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info I don't mind replacing the drives, so I'm more worried about mean time between catastrophic failures. Which, right now, seems to be about 6 mo. for me. I've poked around some more, and may end up with a Dell PowerVault 775N. It's enterprise grade,... | |
| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info At this stage, I've had three drive crashes in less than two years--one internal Western Digital, one Maxstor external, and one LaCie external. Add in CRC read errors and 2% of the data being unrecoverable on a fourth Lacie drive, and it makes me ... | |
| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info Holy god. At least now I have an answer when people tell me I've gone overkill...I'm thinking of the xServe G5 w/3x400GB drives and the RAID card. Should give me 0.8 TB of actual storage configured as RAID 5 for about $5K. Of course, I can only lo... | |
| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info Oh yeah, one more question...How quiet/loud is it? | |
| iTunes star ratings, play count, playlist info Ed-I may be headed in the same direction... I had been using LaCie 250 GB drives, but just had a disk crash on my second data drive that wiped out 300 CDs or so. I had gambled that I'd be OK through the ripping process, so it wasn't backed up--was... | |
| Upgrade my Theta or move on? I was in pretty much exactly the same boat--I had a Casa I with basic DACs looking at about $8K for an upgrade. In my case, I ended up realizing that most of what I listened to was 2 channel anyway--I had no center (Casa set to phantom center) and... | |
| Would a preamp help? Thanks for the input. I guess I may pull the LS16 out of another system and see what happens... | |
| Would a preamp help? Thanks for the responses... I'll google SCE.The dCS website sez the Delius output Z is 1 ohm... According to the ARC website, the VT100 has an input Z of 200 k ohms for the balanced inputs, 100 k for SE; I'm using balanced.Hmm... Does the fact tha... | |
| Audio with an HDTV with only digital audio output? In retrospect, a inexpensive DAC like the ART DI/O probably isn't an option. The digital output is going to be fixed, so you won't have any volume control (I think).Do all of your sources have analog outputs on RCA? If so, the 1154 or a cheap remo... | |
| need help with adcom gear. My recollection was that the older Adcom stuff used to run pretty bright and forward... You really sure you want to pair that Klipsch speakers? Could be wrong here--its been a while... | |
| Mini Mac as audio server? I think with the miniMac, you are limited to firewire or USB audio out, since it doesn't seem to permit installation of cards... | |
| iTunes idiot needs some help I've just finished ripping 730 CDs into WAV format, and seem to be averaging 450 MB/CD... | |
| iTunes idiot needs some help I didn't have as good luck with audiograbber as I did with EAC.Just out of curiousity, why do you want *everything* on the iPod? One of the great things about the iPod is how easy it is to load/delete stuff. A 20 GB iPod will hold... er... about 5... |
