HELP with MAC MINI and PS DIgital III DAC
Upsampling and processing and outputting a high res signal are two entirely different things....I really don't think you're going to get high res from the USB port...however, as far as I know the optical will support it.Good Luck. 
HELP with MAC MINI and PS DIgital III DAC
Meiwan raises a good point/possibility...Itunes cannot handle FLAC...I use Max to convert from FLAC to AppleLossless, and it's free and easy to use. Once you convert to Alossless, ITUNES will see and process it just like other music in your librar...

Help with DAC Going nuts
I have to say....the PS Audio DLINK 3...which can be had here anytime for around $500 simply cannot be beat for the money. Since you like tubes...this unit is right up your alley.... It is warm yet detailed...unlike MANY reasonably priced DACs... ... 
The Feelies are back
Thanks for the heads up....I LOVE the Feelies....now if only we could get Vulgar Boatmen going again! Talk about two great bands that few have heard of. 
I have a PC, and I love iTunes. What next?
My Opinion...you don't need an expensive DAC to get world class performance...just a relatively recent one. The DAC he speaks of (PS Audio Dlink III can be had anytime for $500 here...which is a steal...lots of people trading up... to take advanta... 
I have a PC, and I love iTunes. What next?
BTW, Anyone who says "USB and ITUNES are mid-FI at best" has NO idea what they are talking about and probably have no first hand experience with a lossless/DAC/USB setup.... I think the BS start with people equating ITUNES to significantly compres... 
I have a PC, and I love iTunes. What next?
I think you are there...I've been using apple lossless, an IMAC, a PS Dlink 3, and the USB for a while now. In my system...the USB connection actually sounded much better...I'm not talking subtleties ...the Optical sounded washed out in comparison...

re. Kclone's inquiry... Family Sound...To these ears...Spooky good imaging...Realistic, in the room midrange/vocals...surprisingly deep soundstage...simply the most engaging speakers I've ever heard...more toward the polite and musical than the ac... 
Musical Fidelity A5 modifications
I got my MF A5 integrated modded by Parts Connexion (via Underwood Hi Fi)... really Liked the sound of the Base unit (I think that's very important--if you don't like what it does to begin with...don't waste your time/money).The good news: The res...

Good to see all the responses...thank you, now I have some additional insight AND have their concert DVD in my Netflix queue... Good Stuff.Definitely don't want to forget the others in the band (drummer, bass player, etc.)...as folks have mentione... 
Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise
I have the 1.6's...I went from expensive truly full range speakers...totally expected compromise. Yes, there is less low level information (but now I'm wondering how 'natural' that was anyway)...but in my opinion/system, it is NOT missed. To my su...
