| Airtunes dropouts with Mac mini to Airport Express You can run ethernet from your mac to an airport express, just have to configure it with the airport setup utility. I did this with my old ibook which didn't seem to have enough juice to keep a steady flow of music going without hard wiring it. | |
| I Tunes Backup Don't count on DVDs, especially dual layer dvds. In my experience, (i owned a prepress service business, archiving gigs of data every day for clients) average off the shelf DVDs had a pretty high failure rate, around 18% when stored in jewel cases... | |
| ETHERNET DAC apple TV toslink to DAC, control with an ipod touch. The apple TV will do the same thing and more than a mini and cost much less. Also you can access your library on the ipod touch, there is no more elegant interface out there, especially for the ... | |
| Ripping CDs to lossless in Itunes.. HiFi approved? If I am not mistaken, if you start out with WAV or AIFF in itunes, on a mac or PC, and transmit the file over a network to an airport express or apple tv, you are unknowingly transmitting apple loseless. I assume this is not the case when connecti... | |
| how to find the code to programm a Golden Tube rem if they list your preamp on their web site then all you have to do is plug the remote into your computer, run the software wizard thing and it will program it, if it is not supported by that remote, you are out of luck. Look at different remotes o... | |
| Convert MP3 file to WAV in Mac Mini It is possible that an MP3 converted to ALL or other loseless format might sound better than the original MP3 due to the software that decodes it. The new file will not have any more musical information though | |
| Music Server? Time capsule would work, its a nice simple turnkey system w/ wireless built in. Higher priced that other options but simple. I'm not sure but I think you might be able to plug a USB hard drive into your Apple TV, or Apple TV can access music store... | |
| Sound levels: Apple lossless vs. original CD I know this probably isn't the point anymore, but have you tried ripping into different formats? AIFF, WAV, etc. My guess is that the difference in volume is a product of your DAC or Mac, not the format you rip your CDs into. One simple fix, and I... | |
| AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3 I found myself in similar situation. 800 + cd's ripped to apple loseless on my mac and a handfull of ipods, nano, mini, shuffle, video, etc. for different family members. I found an apple script that takes selected apple loseless tracks, rips them... | |
| High Speed Ripping Laboratory for EAC I would imagine that there are ripping services that would do it for you but they are going to charge you am arm and a leg to do it. Prolly more than the CD's are worth. If your CD takes 20-40+ minutes to rip you are going to be paying by the hour... | |
| 10x vs. 40x etc. cd-roms I am ripping my CD collection to Apple lossless format via Itunes as I type this. I've got a 52x CD rom (CDR/RW etc. bla bla bla) I find that while ripping CD's the speed may go up to 44x as indicated in Itunes, but that's the limit. Interestingly... | |
| New Intel Mac-mini to external DAC I haven't seen any option as elegant as Apples Front Row and Itunes for surfing through your music. The new mini evern comes with a remote. A mini in your stack with Toslink out to a good DAC should be as good or better than your CD73. I am no jit... | |
| First Experience w/ Airport Express to HIFI I sort of got the impression from various sources here and online that PC audio has the benefit of having very low jitter coming from a hard drive, way lower than from a transport, thus better perforname. By not having to deal with data correction... | |
| CDP W/ Digital input Thank you all for the info. I bit the bullet and bought the new Quad CD-2. If I don't like it I'll return it and keep looking. I think this will get me through, having the convenience of a transport in my stereo, as well as having a good DAC to de... | |
| Vibrapod Isolators under my speakers? I put Vibrapods under my Linn Keilidh speakers when I moved in to my new house. Wasn't thrilled with spikes on wood floors. It has been a few years, but When I did it I went back and forth between spikes on quarters (to save my floors) and the vib... |
