New Intel Mac-mini to external DAC
"I would skip the music server idea, it leaves you no flexibility to add more music once the smallish hard drive is full."Etep29- Wrong! Cambridge Azur640's HD is twice as large as the Mac Mini's, and just like the Mini, you can add additional HDs...

New Intel Mac-mini to external DAC
"The problem I have is that the squeeze box doesn't sound as nice as the Arcam, and the laptop hard drive is nearly full (all my files are lossless)."I'm not surprised that the SB doesn't sound as good as your Arcam. If you have to buy a Mac mini(... 
Pat Metheny Nonesuch Remasters
If the Nonesuch remasters' sound quality is like his latest "The Way Up," on Nonesuch, I won't get real excited. The sound quality like all of the recent Nonesuch jazz recordings I've purchased is highly compressed.

EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01
"Hmm, interesting combination. How was the connections for these 3 pieces, which type of cables used? Glass, AES/EBU, etc.I'd really like to hear the details of this setup."Muratc- I know the P0/G0 connection is BNC, but I have no idea what format...

"Kana813, you are right. Mr. Louis gets his basic chassis from the same source the iopshop.com gets theirs. In fact he is now selling the same base unit for $215."Tbg- I don't know why anyone would buy this unit from George, but if you did, you co...
