Internet radio stations that sound really good
.Great thread you guys! Does anyone know of a favorite Mali or related radio station. Rhapsody does pretty well, but just wondering if there's something really great out there that I am unaware of in this genre.:) listeningEd. 
Has anybody heard the new Ultra Fi iJazz?
.Hi Splaskin, Robert Schultz is a craftsman, a purist, and his cables require a long burn-in period, etc etc. He's a very honest and cool guy. I have no business relationship to him other than a very happy and satisfied customer.imho, your patienc... 
Has anybody heard the new Ultra Fi iJazz?
.Ehider... if the iRoc is any indication of things to come, I think there's going to be some "trouble in Bedrock" in months to come with the new Ultra Fi DAC... and at RMAF it will be absolutely killer with Robert Schultz RSA cabling...Keep us pos... 
Cable question
.Elesher, I agree with Audphile!... keep them on all the time and run the cables as much as possible even if you are borrowing them from The Cable Company. Some knowledgable folks think that with cables on the level of SR Apex the equiment is also... 
My head hurts....
.Musicfile... the USB DAC is an UltraFi iRoc, the wireless computer a MacMini, the USB cable a Ridge Street Audio. I have two of these... one into a ss setup, the other into a tube setup... and both are just amazing. The RSA USB cable is just stun...

Speaker suggestions for a McIntosh MC225
.I've had a really satisfying experience with a pair of Tannoy dual concentric 3's powered by a pair of MC225s.Very, very nice. I've used a tube preamp, and now I'm using a SS McIntosh C-41 as the front end for the VPI TT and a MacMini + Ultra Fi ... 
Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products?
.Slightly off-topic... does anyone know if there is a difference in audio quality between the earlier Mac Minis (G4) and the newer dual core models which I have? Will one of those early puppies run OS 10.5?Mainly interested in audio quality.Thanks...

USB Cable Ridge Street Audio/Synergistic Research
.Followup: for reasons that have been explained to me but which I seem to not fully understand: the USB lead from the peripheral HD to the computer doesn't seem to make a difference. It's the USB lead from the computer to the DAC that seems "missi... 
USB Cable Ridge Street Audio/Synergistic Research
.Why remain in the dark? Why not borrow the SR & Kimber USB cables from The Cable Company.Take Ridge Street Audio's (Robert Schultz) offer of 45 days for a no questions asked $ return and decide for yourself. You could even compare and contras... 
USB Cable Ridge Street Audio/Synergistic Research
.Hi,Super question! IMHO cabling is very, very system dependent, so what you will possibly receive (at best) in reply is honest personal answers to your question, but those answers will all be system dependent.That's why Robert's (RSA)45 day retur... 
Apple vs PC for Music System
.Pmi_guy,sure you can run iTunes on your MacMini with a USB DAC... I do it with a peripheral HD for ripped discs and dls.You can do this on line wirelessly or wired. The iTouch remote is the best.Also Rhapsody and Pandora roll along just fine.:) l... 
good DAC , recommend plz and your reason?
.I'd check out and talk with Larry Moore of Ultra Fi regarding his iRoc USB DAC. The iRoc is very reasonably priced and Larry has one up for auction (a promotion) on Audiogon right now. He also has a very generous (imho) return policy. I really li...
