| Someone please 'splain me Let me guess at what you're envisioning. With the new and fast USB ports you've installed in your laptop, you can connect your new hard drive to the laptop and connect the laptop to the wireless adaptor you mentioned in an earlier post. The wirele... | |
| Understanding Signal Path in PC Audio audio sounds pretty bad through the headphone jack of my Sony VAIO notebookiTunes is sending its digital stream through the DAC in your Vaio's soundcard. does the USB port somehow output a digital stream and there is a cheap DAC inside my plastic ... | |
| is it just me, new Steely Dan cd's too brite snare Have to join the chorus of those to whom these sound more than fine. Been listening to them a lot since catching Fagen's show. | |
| Someone please 'splain me Just to be clear, you only would need the USB/SPDIF converter you were talking about getting if you were planning to connect your music server to your audio system by a cable. You don't seem to be contemplating that. I don't know much about the SB... | |
| Someone please 'splain me Budrew, and I suppose you already have streaming buffer size set to large? Wish I had other suggestions to offer... | |
| Someone please 'splain me Howard, you might be on the right track, but it seems you're envisioning the hard drive in the wrong spot. The only thing the hard drive gets connected to is whichever computer is going to be the music server. Before you get that USB-S/PDIF interf... | |
| Someone please 'splain me I agree that Ckorody's post was a good one. I almost hate to interfere... but, Howard, yes, you would be able to control volume from iTunes running on the downstairs computer. And that's regardless of whether you have AXpress (I would assume same ... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Once you fill up your first hard drive and want to start on a second, all you would have to do is to set the location of the iTunes music folder to the second drive. Then, any new CDs you rip will be saved to the second drive. Nothing will change ... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Streetdaddy, you should be OK now that you've added your G drive files to the library. Gigi's advice concerning the Consolidate Library command was a little off target. It's possible to have music files that are scattered all over different drives... | |
| Unbalanced to balanced adaptor My question had to do with my DAC, but I came across this helpful info in an FAQ for the DEQ2496 at Behringer.com. >>SPDIF (consumer format, unbalanced, normally characterised by the RCA co-axial connectors) is digitally simpler, whose basic... | |
| The Clever Little Sharp (Hi, Zaikes)Tbg, One is that science does not know the basis of all phenomena. I certainly cannot understand how the CLC or CLS might affect what we hear. I am not defending either and own neither.True. However, music reproduction is possible beca... | |
| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. And the 100% tung oil isn't absolutely necessary unless you want a purist approach that matches the original finish method. Any good penetrating oil finish (most have synthetic hardening agents mixed in) will do. I think Merganser mentioned Watco ... | |
| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. Kotta, the tung oil doesn't smell too much when it's applied. I'd rather do anything like this with windows open, or in the basement away from living quarters. But the smell is mild compared to something like polyurethane varnish. Usually, the dir... | |
| The Clever Little Sharp Tbg saidyou also fail to realize that the so-called placebo effect works both ways. Prior conceptions, such as yours, that there could be no effect can condition not hearing one. That's not very relevant. It's reasonable and scientific when assess... | |
| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. Bill, Just curious, what leads you to believe the veneer is drying out? What are the symptoms? |
