| Apple TV and Sound Quality I only have ATV 2, which sonically from what I have read here and elsewhere, is islimited compared to ATV 3. Still, in your setup, the weak link is the wifi to ATV. I would replace the ATV with a dedicated audio component such as the Bluesound N... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? I heartily agree with Eric's last paragraph. The best DACs are now improving redbook to levels that we previously hadn't thought possible | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? After living with the Mytek Manhatten for a few months now, I do think that an improved Dac helps----with glare. Note, seventies, that the mytek features the same chip as the Oppo 105, but the implementation is worlds apart--so it just in't the c... | |
| NEED HELP WITH DAC UPGRADE I have the Mytek Manhatten and can confirm that the DAC makes a heck of an upgrade. | |
| FLAC On A Mac not every download site offers ALAC or AIFF. Some only offer FLAC, as reading the posts in this thread would have revealed to you | |
| Music Server format? Just read the Crutchfield reviews about Bluesound. I only saw 1 bad one and am guessing that person received a defective unit. Nothing is perfect but I think it is a high quality product that takes the PC out of the picture | |

| Looking for SACD player............ Marantz players tend to roll off the top end.Denon is coming out with a new SACD player. I'd wait for that | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Thanks neko that was interesting. There seems to be an issue with a loud 'pop' at the end of tracks played in DSD. | |
| FLAC On A Mac sbankI took the Oppo data from their web site, which mentioned playing WAV and didn't mention playing AIFF. In my experience when a component doesn't mention compatibility with a format that means it won't play that format. I am glad to be corre... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Thanks, Bill K. Unfortunately neither reviewer comments on the HDMI input | |
| FLAC On A Mac XLD works today without me having to do the above.In the interim, I added a monitor to the system. I have an Oppo 105 in the system but it was for audio only. With the monitor added I can now play flac files from it's usb inputs, so now I don't ... | |
| Marantz SA 8005 break in Agree with the above. If anything, Marantz players tend to roll off the top end. If the harshness persists after the break in time I would send it for servicing | |
| 'outboard' high end dac's Meadowmani've been interested in the BDA 3 for it's HDMI input, specifically for SACD and Blu Ray. Do you have any experience with the HDMI input |
