| Jazz Recommendations I agree, Chris Potter's "Follow the Red Line" is a great!Try Jason Lindner's Big Band- "Live At The Jazz Gallery." | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Sammie-Like you, all I have is a Macbook. I agree it sounds excellent. I don't see how a mini or an Imac running off an SMPS is going to sound better than a Macbook running on batteries. | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Sammie-"it seems the Mini or Imac will offer superior sound to the laptops."Why?"Both Mini and Imac come with a small IR remote"The Macbook and Macbook Pro also come with the same remote and Front Row.Chris-Yes, you're missing something, you need ... | |
| Which sub $2k CD player would you recommend? http://www.pacificvalve.us/cdplayers.htmllook at the MHZS CD 66E, MHZS CD 88E & Doge 6Also see: http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Digital.html#2007 | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Chris- with my upgraded SB3 running via a wireless connection, no "pops, ticks, and random outs," with WAV files or Internet radio. Also, no "pops, ticks, and random outs," on my wife's new MacBook using iTunes with Apple lossless, WAV or AIFF.As ... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? How refreshing, another self serving post from Steve N. advertising his products. | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Make the wife and kids happy, use a Mac as your music server and take look at the Slim Devices Transporter. It will give you a high quality digital output for your existing DAC and allow you to stream Internet radio into your listening room. | |
| Mac-Mini to Home Stereo Sounds Harsh I haven't tried the Mini's optical digital output, but the MacBook's optical digital output sounds excellent.Could be the Toslink input on your Rotel pre-amp isn't that great.If you're not using the Rotel in a HT system, take look at the TacT S/M2... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Now there's a newsflash, Steve N. thinks #2 is better.Drubin-Spend $30. on a Monster Cable ICable and try your Mac's optical output into your DAC-1. Follow Benchmark's Mac set up instructions and enjoy. | |
| iMac Sound Quality Jc51373-Please grow up and stop the silly name calling and insults.You posted: "Better off with USB output for sound," since I don't need a DAC, that would require a USB to SPDIF converter.There are lots of these devises on the market.SPDIF can pr... | |
| iMac Sound Quality Drubin-Couldn't find it on the Monster's site, but here's the one I'm using:http://www.wildwestelectronics.net/moicfiopkimi.htmlI got mine at the local Mac store.You could also use a mini plug to Toslink adaptor, and useany Toslink cable. | |
| iMac Sound Quality Jc51373-The WAV files captured all the information I need.Unlike you and your tube DAC, I've never said Toslink was better than anything else.Suggest you contact Apple if you're interested in the MacBook's optical output.PS- I'm glad I didn't foll... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Jc51373-Once again you think I'm referring to upsampling. Do you think 16/44.1 recordings sound better than 24/96 recordings?Heres' some tracks you can try: http://www.soundkeeperrecordings.com/format.htm | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Audioengr-Ethernet cables don't conduct noise and the SMPS units which power the SB3and Transporter don't have any effect on the performance of their digital or analog outputs? Are you're saying Alex is totally wrong about PC-Audio being effected ... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER The SD Transporter and SB3 are effected by the PC noise. The ethernet port is connected to the PC's noisy switching power supply.Both the Transporter and SB3 also use SMPS units to power internal circuits. |
