| How is there Apple Lossless Debate? Magfan, the EQ only effects playback. You're welcome.... :) | |
| How is there Apple Lossless Debate? Sometimes the Airport Express can cause trouble. Can you hook your Mac directly unto your DAC? If that solves the problem, then you might look at two things.1. Your network and/or Airport Express need to be checked. Which version of the AE do you ... | |

| Apple TV sound quality as a transport Jitter doesn't sound like anything. Jitter changes how sound/music sounds by misplacing and removing information. There are several mechanisms that can cause jitter. The CD format has a lot of jitter problems. Computers are better at controlling a... | |

| Upgrade advice I've been down this road, and have tried all kinds of options, both inexpensive and expensive....The best I've ever heard a Mac Mini is toslink optical into a Naim nDAC. The optical cable is a VanDenHul and the Mac Mini has as much RAM as can be a... | |
