| The OFFICAL Apple TV thread Nieuwen,Is the Mac Mini a step up with software like Amarra/Pure Music, or without it? | |
| Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one? Scott,I don't have a Uniti or UnitiQute. I guess the answer to if it's a primary system or secondary system piece would best be answered by saying it depends on the person's budget. The Uniti is a Nait 5i, CD5i, and the other stuff in one box. My ... | |
| Bryston & Harbeths - Good Match? Half of my post got cut off some how. Damn iPhone...The Totem Mani-2 is a very hard speaker to drive. A friend's McIntosh MA6900 went into protection mode on a regular basis when driven slightly past normal levels. His room was on the smaller side... | |
| Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one? Just to add - Had I not had my Bryston B60 integrated and Apple TV as music server, I'd definitely buy one. | |
| Naim UnitiQute - who's heard one? I agree with what's been said. I've heard it a few times using analog inputs, digital inputs, and as a DAC and tuner. Performed admirably every way and every time.Some people have had issues getting the streaming right. They've mainly been iTunes ... | |
| New Rega DAC I haven't heard the ATV 2, so don't base your opinions on what I said. One or two people said the ATV 2 sounds better, while others have said the ATV 1 is better. Not that I've counted them, but more have said the ATV 1 sounds better, if that help... | |
| Bryston & Harbeths - Good Match? Totem They're also very room sensitive. They need breathing room. Not sure if your room is big enough for the Mani-2s. Sounds crazy for a monitor speaker, but just going by what I've heard people say several times. One or two were dealers. | |
| New Rega DAC Lang76 - I'd imagine it would sound great. I don't have an AE, so I can't say for sure. All I can say is that my ATV1 and Rega DAC sound far better than my Apollo did.I have the first one my dealer got. We opened the box and compared it to a few t... | |
| The OFFICAL Apple TV thread Jmelvin - Have you tried the Tranquility DAC with the ATV? Going from an old but excellent Theta Cobalt DAC to the new Rega DAC was a very big improvement. The Rega DAC reclocks, whereas the the Theta does not. That probably explains part of the i... | |
| The OFFICAL Apple TV thread Forgot to say...I have the ATV with 160 gb internal hard drive. All music is Apple Lossless with error correction.Haven't heard a difference between WAV, AIFF, and Apple Lossless. Have heard a difference between error correction on and off on some... | |
| The OFFICAL Apple TV thread I put this in another thread, but I guess this is a far more appropriate place..Toslink cable - Sonicwave glass 1 meter - About $25 from Amazon.com Improved everything. Biggest difference was sound was less blurry and more focused. Everything soun... | |
| New Rega DAC Lang 76 -I also had an Apollo, and the DAC is far better. I didn't have them at the same time, but I lived with the Apollo for about 4 years, and got rid of it about 3 months ago.I run an Apple TV gen 1 into the DAC. The ATV reportedly has a good ... | |
| Apple TV and Brightness I have the ATV gen 1 and haven't heard the gen 2, so take this as you will...I went from a fiber optic toslink to an inexpensive glass cable and noticed very good changes. Everything was more focused, less blurred. Everything got better, but that ... | |
| Rega Apollo Vs. Saturn? I've had the DAC for 2 weeks now. Far better than my Apollo. Some say it's better than the Saturn, some say it's a bit different but equally good. I haven't lived with a Saturn, so no opinion from me.If you like Rega, particularly their sources, y... | |
| New Apple TV -- Anyone planning on it? Jeff - I asked before, but you may have lost it in the thread -Are you comparing streamed music in the gen 1 vs gen 2, or did you have the music stored on the gen 1's internal hard drive? I've noticed that music sounds a bit better stored vs strea... |
