Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge
While I'm not 100% sure, I think JRiver will do most/all of that. You may need the upnp stuff. Devil is in the details. This stuff is just barely complicated enough that in the end you have to just start building it and then find out what will/won... 
Recommended crossovers for Maggie 20.1s
Even with the 20.1 if you upgrade the crossover, it may indeed make a big difference - not having anything to do with the crossover, but because of the implications it has on the amplifier relationship. You can go with something like Spectron Musi... 
Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge
Exactly the info I wanted! Interesting... Well - once you have it at 800 in the back of the device you might as well go with ethernet and the cheap connection. If you do Lynx its basically same price as Bridge. So, if they offered an external Lens... 
Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge
So I'm a little confused. If I have a computer, I can get the Lynx soundcard that people often talk about with the Berekely DAC and computer music, then I could go from there via AES/EBU into the Perfect Wave Dac. Now, assuming we are driving all ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
People asked above about remotes. The remote codes are in the Logitech database, so the Harmony One will work. I love it. It replaced something like 10+ remotes. My wife says it is the best audio purchase I've made, better than my Maggie 3.6 speak... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
And the obvious question would be can old ones be upgraded? Or, (I'm sure he doesn't want to be deluged with old stuff in the mail) can an 'upgrade pack' and instructions for a local tube-expert guy to do be purchased? Obviously not now, but its a... 
Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED?
Right, that is what we are talking about, no? Who is on first? I was saying that I was told the separate inputs behind the panel don't really do much (and were just there for biwiring) compared to the 3.6 and 20.1 which have totally separate elect... 
Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED?
Yeah - that is definitely what they said. Don't know how to reconcile. I believe you - perhaps it was added at some point or electrically there is some technical way that both can be true and/or he was speaking in a more general way - certainly th... 
Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED?
Eldartford - I have 3.6s so haven't taken apart the 1.6s myself, but that info was from the horses mouth! I was talking to, I think it was Wendel or someone else from Magnepan :). It was about 3 or 4 years ago, however, not sure if anything has ch... 
Behringer Crossover for Maggies vs Bryston
I am thinking of going lower-spec on the amp and getting the XVR-1... And after trying to set it up myself, paying someone locally who really knows they are doing to finish it off and continue to work on setting it up for a day.For the low end, I ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Awesome! I would love a Dual Cabernet at some point... Using a Chardonnay right now.I much prefer him 'slightly in business' rather than 'out of business'. 
Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's
That said, here is a guy with Bryston hooked up to > 100k speakers.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1260298401The one thing I do agree with, is that people should focus more on speakers than the rest of the system. Many amps ar... 
Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3?
As to the Aleph 3 being a classic, I think if I'm not mistaken that Stereophile said this amp was so revolutionary for its day that they would have to reshuffle the whole A-rated Amplifier section of their rating system as this was so good it dist... 
Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's
Bryston is great, and the Innersounds are also a good pick. Of all of these listed here in the thread, I have to 2nd the Pass amps and to say that as far as I can tell they are in a whole other league compared to most of what is mentioned here.Inn... 
Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED?
I was told by someone who should know if anyone knows that the 1.6 dual inputs are just there because people kept asking to be able to biwire, but they are not actually separate inputs and internally go to the same place. The 3.6 and above can be ...
