Music Server with no DAC?
I'm settling on J River (program you add to your computer) with IPhone as remote. Although I do like Media Monkey as well. Basically free, and has same functionality as all of these $300 - $2000 devices. After lots of poking at things and thinking...

The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard?

The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test
Douglas - great last post.Atma - hadn't heard he refused to pay, would be interesting to see more on that, and who finally broke the test!! If it was a regular Joe, magazine reviewer, or just snobby audiophile like us :).To the equipment switching... 
Behringer Crossover for Maggies vs Bryston
Just to share the info - some have told me directly that the crossover is more important than the quality of the amps if you change from passive to active crossover - it changes the whole thing about what is going on so significantly that the amps... 
The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test
MrTennis and Atmasphere - give the guy a call. Here is one page with the info. Win the jackpot that a couple thousand people haven't won of $10,000 that he offers for winning!http://www.tom-morrow-land.com/tests/ampchall/index.htmBut note that som... 
Music Server with no DAC?
Indeed! I emailed one place and they said they didn't want to do that particular thing because because their device was based around ultimately what was a 24/96 DAC chip, and anything else gets uprezzed to 24/96 in a pre-processing step - apparent... 
Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe?
Upon gathering further data the Jolida Musical Envoy as moded by Underwood is half the price of the cheapest Joule Electra Pre - so it will depend on how sensitive people are to cost in the 2200 vs 5500 range. However, as a Supratek owner I do fee... 
Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe?
Cool. They just have to get their web site back up! :) 
Music Server with no DAC?

Music Server with no DAC?
I also noticed that NuForce is doing exactly what I'm referring to in exactly the terms I'm referring to it in."NuForce designs its source devices to conform to industry-wide standards, protocols and formats. Our aim is to achieve perfect compatib... 
Music Server with Hi-Rez digital outputs ?
I'm not sure about this, but I think some people are heading away from those devices at all and just loading J River or Media Monkey and playing from computer direct. You need a good soundcard if non-laptop, and if laptop, just get docking station... 
Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2?
Is their web site down? http://www.joule-electra.com/ I've been trying to get on for a few days. Is that the wrong place? 
Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe?
Is the LA150MKII or similar Joule Electra in a totally different league than (I believe) the similarly priced Musical Envoy Preamp from Jolida? Also, the Jolida can be modded by UnderwoodHiFi for not too much more money. I've heard really good thi... 
Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2?
Spectron - to your post of 03-05-09, yeah I'm familiar with how distortion works ergo my use of the phrase I used to distinguish it from the other forms.The 'magic' in Pass Labs amplification I am referring to, since you are questioning the sorcer...
