I have same AE-Toslink-Benchmark DAC1.Magfan - According to Stereophile measurements AE has respectable 250ps jitter. Analog outputs is another story with performance less than perfect.Sfar - I had also interference problem before I found what cha... 
Advice: CD's to Hard Drive and Back Again
"hassle-free method to listen to music. No more hunting through the shelves of cds to find something to listen to"Exactly, plus I don't have to worry about transport failure. I still have CD cases with inserts available but now in addition I can t...

Timrhu - Itunes doesn't rip bit perfect even with error correction on. Some of my CDs have bad scratches and MAX with "do not allow to skip" option refuses to rip them (rip gets stuck and never ends) while Itunes have no problem with it.All CD pla...

"My thinking is that if you want to hear what the recording engineers wanted you to you should use the cables they used making the music, anything different is coloration"Jamo1,So, if cables used for recording are coloring shall I use the same cab... 
A voltage driven conundrum
Mohit25,I use MacMini (thru Airport Express) to my Benchmark DAC1 driving directly Rowland 102 (Icepower) amp. Both Benchmark and Rowland operate dual voltage*.Benchmark should be immune to transport quality since it has strong jitter suppression.... 
Why not a run high quality USB cable
Mihaitaa,That's what I have (Benchmark DAC1) but I use Airport Express across the room instead of long cable, with 3' glass Toslink to DAC. AE has low (250ps) jitter, according to Stereophile measurements, that is further suppressed by Benchmark. ...
