Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff
Wow, I've been sampling (and purchasing) some of these from AMZ... can't tell you how much I appreciate the recommendations. Made a Jazz inquiry not too long ago and yielded some great suggestions. Recommendation from Friends is always how I disco...

His is a cd-1s. 
Anyone driving maggies with ARC VS110/VS115?
By the way....anyone else that has driven the 1.6s with other similarly powered tube gear is welcomed to respond....although probably not apples to apples, would still be interested.

Thank you Ahendler appreciate your thoughts/experience. Re. the Vsi60...you are correct, I haven't tried it yet. However, if things go as planned, Im going to tonight. My friend's bringing his over (very nice of him, I would be too anal to do that... 
ayon integrateds--USB input... for what?
I'll check back with him tomorrow ...but I believe its the cd2 (not the s)....he's had some really nice stuff in his system including the upper model arc stuff (which sounded good too)...but this one's a whole different league...it sounded so anal... 
Which file is better to rip cd's to itunes
One other thing...the only issue I've ever experienced re. applelossless on an IPOD is with the 3rd Generation Nano...there's a brief drop in the beginning of every song...Not real significant ...but there nonetheless... Have not experienced this ... 
Which file is better to rip cd's to itunes

Thanks Guys... an Update...my friend got his Ayon CD player...I listened to it....WOW! Hands down the best cd player I've ever heard...and obviously the DAC circuitry is top notch...smooth but not softened analog sound. Gammajo...that's good food ... 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
And....We're off! ; )This, like any other "does cable make a difference" related question, will likely generate strong and polar opposite replies. In MY experience, In MY Opinion... Digital cables including USB make little to no difference. In fac... 
How to check an IC?
400 ohms is high...theoretically it should be zero...in reality, probably fluctuate around zero. The procedure is as follows... 1) Make very sure you ohmeter/voltmeter is set to measure resistance...check this by touching the probes together...you...

Thanks Guys....I did end up talking with Paul at USA Tube (You are correct, easy guy to talk with)... Turns out it is an onboard DAC but only on that one model....for some reason I got it in my head that it was multiple Ayons that had it. Be curio...

Thanks Reubent....Of course, I don't mean to be snobbish by my question I just had not heard of such a thing on anything but very inexpensive equipment. And then, only rarely. For the record, I'm running a Musical Fidelity A5 and love it...so agai... 
Need some Jazz recommendations..some pop and swing
Cant tell you how much I appreciate the thoughtful suggestions...I will be researching all of them! 
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...
