New macbook air for computer audio
Apple Remote for iTunes, an Apple app, does work for the new ( 2010 ) MB Air. I do like the MBA very much however, personally, I would buy a Logitech Squeezebox Touch, use the iPeng remote-control app, and put the computer in some other room. If y... 
New amp being touted as among the best ever......
Mapman, thanks. I still think it's odd that an amp will take the analogue signal produced from a DSD recording and digitize it at 96khz in order to amplify it. That seems like a reduction. Additionally, many of us remember from the days of audio c...

Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III
If you need to put your C7s near a wall, it's not really a problem. I have my C7ES3s about a foot from a wall because of necessity. If you put some thick padding on the wall behind the speakers the sound will be improved enormously.

Anyone tried ripping SACD as 24bit PCM?
Kijanki: I wasn't suggesting a way to rip SACDs.
