| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Pettyofficer, no offense but you evoke an image of one of those confused weirdos wondering through central park ranting about the coming of the end of the world, or a conspiracy of some sort (in your case the alleged failure of the computer indust... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved There are any number of music servers on the market that are essentially just that - dedicated computers designed and optimized for music playback. | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Pettyofficer, I don't quite understand your rambling about formats. Existing lossless formats (Flac, Wav etc.) are capable of storing and transfering information at exactly the same resoltion as in the recording studio. There may be issues with co... | |
| where to start Steve, you are certainly entitled to the opnion that say running JRiver in WASAPI mode is inferior to say Pure music on a Mac, but there is absolutely no broad consensus on this. For example, Alex Peychev is on the record saying he preferred his T... | |
| where to start I thought the whole point of the mac is they are so intuitive you never have to learn how to deal with them. My pure music would freeze every day and I ended up have to reboot because I could not get to application threads that can be shut down in... | |
| where to start I hate Mac's. Used a mac mini for a little while and could not get rid of it fast enough. Cute looking box though.... | |
| From Casablanca 3 to Integra 80.3? Moosik, the Xtreme DACs are actually over 10 years old. The fact that apparently no mid price SSP can best a CBIII with Xtreme cards, defies all logic, but there are lots of people attesting to this. I personally moved from an Audio Note 2.1 DAC f... | |
| Start PC music Server from Scratch Unless you actually enjoy fiddling with hardware you could simply buy a mach2music. If not at least you could look at their specs and use it as a guideline of what you are trying to build yourself. Keep in mind that ripping out the powersuppy and ... | |
| What's important in a budget HT in wall speaker?? He're my philosophy on this one. The "budget in wall" segment is very price competitive. Although all owners will like their own speaker you really don't know which $500 speaker you are going to like best unless you hear them. Given that, I would ... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Pettyofficer, I repeat, it is simply a commercial issue. The studio went to the effor to remaster the Beatles collection and sold an X number of sets. Dark Side of the Moon was remastered for SACD and sold Y. If the industry thinks it is commercia... | |
| Empirical Audio Overdrive DAC: King of the Hill? There is no doubt the overdrive is an excellent DAC, as are the Berkeley, Weiss, PerfectWave MKII to name but a few that have been cited as "the best digital I ever heard" by many of its owners. Without a double blind shootout between the entire l... | |
| From Casablanca 3 to Integra 80.3? You are going to take a hit in sound quality going from CBIII with Xtreme cards to a mid-fi processor like integra. If you shop around and get the upgrade done for below 3,500. I would consider it. If you decide to sell the CBIII you should do it ... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Pettyoffice, like all industries the primary driver in music publishing is money. As soon as a large enough number of folks that want high quality audio and are willing to pay for jump on the computer audio bandwagon, it will become commercially v... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Pettyofficer, what other format do you propose? CDs have been around for a few decades with probably another decade of life left, which is a pretty good run in the digital age. Certainly beats floppy discs. 10 years out, 90% of content will probab... | |
| Computer Audio Setup James, what is puzzling to me is why you would want to use USB when you have a bridge. What you should do is this. Create a directory on your NAS which stores all your music(say flacs). Install PS audio's eLyric or somthing like assetUpNp on a PC ... |
