With DoggieH. on that one. Do you have sound if you try to play a YouTube vid first and only? (no iTunes played previously during that session??). I do notice even trying to eject the external hard drive where I store my iTunes library that if I h... 
Problems with playing through DAC/headphones
Using a MacBook Air myself for iTunes and YouTube listening. I listen either through the main system (MBA USB>MF V-Link 192>Schiit DAC>Amp) or via headphones using Audioquest Dragonfly in the MBA USB port. I find there are 3 locations to ... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Notec - thanks. Your music suggestions are generally off the beaten path and interesting. Thanks for the intro to Steven R. Smith...a musician new to me. Am sampling "the anchorite". 
strange phenomenon
Agree with Elizabeth's suggestions. Had a similar issue and it turned out to be a bad contact in the cartridge. Do you by any chance have another cartridge you can substitute in? (BTW another Heed Quasar owner here). 
Best Rock Album of 2014
Keithr - Thanks for the WOD recommendation. Never heard of Adam Granduciel before. Listened to Lost in the Dream last night. Listening now to Slave Ambient. WOD pushes a lot of the right buttons for me. Enjoying it very much.

Re Karl Wallinger, check out his latest, Dumbing Up. He did suffer a serious medical conditions (stroke?...don't recall what I read) that kept him out of circulation for some time.

USB DAC CDP: EAR Acute MkIII or Marantz SA11S3
Hey Bud, no problem...good luck with the EAR. Looked at your system, by the way,....very nice. Too bad there's not a way to upload hi res/hi fidelity samples of the various system posted on A'gon. Would love to hear it. 
Interstin - New Jack White LP
I wanna know more about that funky phonograph they were playing the LP on. 
Room Treatment
