Apple iPad USB Audio Out Camera Kit
Got one this morning....sounds excellent. :) 
Wadia 170i Ipod Dock Vs Onkyo ND S1 Ipod Dock
My experience has been the same with the two units. I'm currently listening to the iPad with the USB adaptor that came this morning, and it is excellent. If iPhone OS 4.0 allows this USB adaptor to be used, I don't think either of those devices wi...

what percentage of us really knows sound
....and by the way, my guess is about 18.68% of us know about sound. :D 
what percentage of us really knows sound
We hear with our ears....and listen with our mind....Take a deep breath, think about what you want your music system to sound like, and start creating it. That's the beauty in this hobby....you have some control over what you want to listen to. If... 
External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini.
I've had the best experience with the newer Lacie drives. I've had some trouble with newer Seagates (which surprises me). I've had good experience with Western Digital, but I've mainly used their USB versions.Don't rule out using a NAS or Apple Ti... 
Sound Card Recommendations for the iMac
Question....what kind of system are you connecting your Mac to?1. Mac OSX uses "Core Audio", which means you don't need a "soundcard" for most applications. "Core Audio" handles audio files extremely well, and this is one reason why Macs are used ... 
Sound Card Recommendations for the iMac
With an iMac, there is no internal upgrade, so instead of looking at "sound cards" you should focus on a DAC (which is an "audiophile" term for external sound card). ;)Which iMac do you have?If it's an Intel based Mac, it most likely has an optica...

What kind of laptop do you have?1. Look into dBPoweramp. I've been using it more and feel like it's a much better program for ripping, playback and (especially) meta-data.2. I usually prefer the toslink optical output of my MacBook Pro over USB. I... 
sorting MP3 and ALAC m4a files in library
Paul, thanks for the info. I thought I might be off on what Soundgasm wants. I'm curious as well because I am always organizing and working with massive music libraries, and any tools that make it better and easier are on my radar.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.... ;) 
sorting MP3 and ALAC m4a files in library
200GB is not much music and should be able to be handled by iTunes with no problem. I have over 2TB of music in an iTunes library, and have been able to separate them into three separate libraries. AIFF, ALAC and iTunes Store purchases. iTunes lib... 
sorting MP3 and ALAC m4a files in library
I'm not sure if this will help, but I'll give it a try....It sounds like you are trying to create two separate "libraries"....one for MP3, and the other for ALAC....? I also assume you are using iTunes since you are using ALAC? Correct me if I'm w... 
NAIM HDX
The HDX is wonderful. I think it's very underrated. Out of all the dedicated "music file" players, it's my favorite both in terms of musical presentation and reliability.
