| Mac Leopard, iTunes, apple lossless best backup I'm not sure if it'll work, but within iTunes there is a "back up to disk" command - not sure it will work to an external disk though - worth a try as you'd likely be backing up all the data since iTunes is doing the backing up. I know it works to... | |
| Why would itunes strip data from .wav files? 3 Qs: Thanks for the correction, Michael. So is metadata-like information actually attached to the file, or is it a function of the software? I learned just enough about this stuff to be dangerous, so am open to learning more in order to become a lethal... | |
| Why would itunes strip data from .wav files? 3 Qs: Per Sufentail; I don't believe you can 'tag' WAV files with Metadata. You may need to take two extra Advil for you Metabummer. That said, iTunes has some means within the software to associate metadata with the WAV files. You have somehow broken t... | |
| What's that buzz, tell me what's a happening... That's funny, I was playing a cut from Radiohead's OK Computer and it arc'd one of my KT88's in my amp. This was years ago, but I'll not forget the cut of music, though I don't remember the title. I'd been noticing how far the meters (Mesa Baron) ... | |

| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac iBook is dead quiet when streaming music. Like all laptops it does get hot when doing intense processing. Heat is definitely not good for computers, and this is a drawback of laptops. I do not know if it's a better or worse means of streaming musi... | |
| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac Interesting review, Bruce_1. Thanks for posting your comments. My experiences have been somewhat similar to what you observed, and I agree, a burned CD can frequently sound better than the original. I tried my friends HAG USB converter and didn't ... | |
| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac No whirring noise if playing from iTunes. Yes, you'd rip them via the CD drive on the computer. Yes, you could play DVD's on the MacBook - the software comes with the operating system. Yep around 220+ lossless CD's on your 80gb drive....correct.Marco | |
| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac 1. The MacBook will play CD's through its slot drive (also how you would rip them). I would say you'll have to put up with a bit of whirring noise in that case (not as quiet as your average CD player but I'd venture to guess not that annoying to m... | |
| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac I don't think it's the same thing, Rbstehno. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong - The digital signal generated by the computer needs to be converted to a signal that is 'understood' by the DAC... The data coming through USB needs to be converted ... | |
| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac Good points, Tobias. One other might be that you will be taking up one USB port with your DAC and if you only have two on a Mini and need one for keyboard and the other for a DAC...may be time for a hub. Anyway, I'm a Mac guy and have had two iBoo... | |
| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac The advantage of the MacMini and MacBook and iMac is that all are very quiet. The latest Mac operating system requires 512mb just to run the OS, so you need a gig of ram to really run smoothly. MacBook should work just fine, but native hard drive ... | |
| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac There's a whole section at AudioAsylum devoted to PC Audio you might want to check out. I'll make the answers brief and simple.1. For better reproduction you will need a USB DAC and likely an external hard drive to store your music. DAC's are avai... | |
| Benchmark VS older ultrahigh end dac's in these... I've tried the Benchmark twice now. Once about a year ago in the original form, and recently a brand new USB unit which I got directly from Benchmark. The first unit I tried belonged to a friend. I listened to it extensively in several systems and... | |
| On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers Thanks for the correction, Don. I'd only heard it otherwise attributed to Emmylou, but looked it up and you're certainly correct. It was not, however, on the original FBR, and AFAIK is just on the more recently released 20th anniversary edition of... |
