| USB Cord Recommendation .Hi Splaskin,I'm using Larry Moore's Ultra Fi iRoc on two systems right now and really like it: one is all tube, the other all ss.Cables are very user and system dependent imho; let me know what you find out in your listening.:) listeningEd. | |
| USB Cord Recommendation .I agree with Ultrafitimes. After testing I really like the Ridge Street Audio USB cable. And btw, Narod, take the time to take a listen to the cables... borrow them, whatever you have to do to get the experience for yourself... everyone has a rig... | |
| USB DAC's ? .I really like the Ultra Fi USB iRocs I own. Be sure to test out several different USB cables (I like the Ridge Street Audio Poiema). With the MacMini the iRocs and RSA cables are very surprising in all respects with both ripped discs and on-line ... | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? .James63 I agree entirely... what are you using for a DAC? And your connection to your Mini...? Music sharing between minis and systems is pretty cool too. As well as using an iTouch with Remote or VNC.:) ListeningEd. | |

| Best DAC $200 and under but possibly up to $300 >A correctly engineered USB DAC is superior to SPDIF imho.> | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System .You can also use Mocha VNC (downloadable from the Apple iTunes website) and web surf from your iTouch or iPhone... you can control Rhapsody or Pandora, etc. as well... you need a wireless gateway/modem to do that.. | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System .Politics... schmal-itics... I've A/B the same USB DAC with the same USB cable and ICs and my MacMini to USB DAC sounds far better on my systems (tube & SS) than my Vista 'puter to USB DAC on the same audio systems...As my Mom used to say... w... | |

| Which DAC or Sound Card .Hi JPO,iRocs come up on the 'gon every once and awhile and are worth the wait imho! One was for sale early last month and was snapped up right away...don't remember the price.Rumor has it that Larry Moore (Creator of the iRoc) is creating a kille... | |
| Which DAC or Sound Card .Hi Kbamhi... if you're going USB, and your DACs need cabling,you might want to think about which USB cable... it makes a big difference! Plain old printer cable won't cut it and will nullify any hardware you're testing/acquiring. I recommend inve... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? .Thanks Ted for the update and the clarifications... both now and in the past...particularly on the power cords, the PowerCell, and the Enigma... and good to hear that you have found solution to the scarcity of particular tubes for another version... | |
