Fedex or UPS?
I work for one of the above mentioned companies. I won't say which one, and I don't think it matters. Pack well. Expect the package to be dropped and thrown about. Forget "fragile" or "this side up" messages. The goal of package handlers is speed ... 
Computer, Airport Express, DAC - Best Sound?
The sound is nice and clean. However, I'm always looking for improvements. Would a glass toslink improve the sound over the Apple Monster toslink? My concern is that even with a glass toslink, I would need a mini-toslink adapter. Would this adapte...

Here's the same response -- look at the following thread. I think it addresses this issue thoroughly.http://www.AudioAsylum.com/scripts/t.pl?f=pcaudio&m=891

Apogee MiniDac vs Benchmark DAC1 via USB
Have you tried a toslink connection? 
DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac
Thanks Dschea_32665. I know it's all subjective, but without the equipment for my own comparison, it's hard to know if spending my hard-earned bucks (graduate student) on various DACs would reap the rewards of improved sonics. So far, my GMA Europ... 
Apple Airport Express Very Cool Product
But the airport express outputs to toslink. Isn't toslink inferior to other cabling methods? Now if airport express had USB out for external DAC processing, then. . . wow!!! But then how to USB in DAC's transfer the digital USB signal for DA proce... 
Audiophile USB to PCM
Is there a way to bypass the waveterminal piece? Does the Edirol UA-1D work just as well as the waveterminal for digital to digital conversion? How does the Apogee mini-dac differ from the waveterminal for the digital to digtal conversion (since t...

iPod to DAC Connection
Please explain how this is done. I'm interested in such a set-up. How do you bypass iTunes on a Mac? This approach may take the transport out of the loop, but it also seems to make the ease of using a computer for organization gone too. Please exp... 
airport express with i-tunes
I'm new to the digital age of sound. What's a tri-vista? I'm also new to DACs, but I'm considering purchasing one if I can make a nice working setup. Is a hardwired setup better? How is this done? So the optical output on the Airport Express is in...

Is this modification necessary to go from Airport Express via iTunes to an external DAC connected to my stereo system? 
airport express with i-tunes
Using AirTunes, how do use an external DAC to do the DAC work? Does the signal coming from iTunes already DAC processed in the computer? 
Inexpensive Integrated for GMA Europas
I was looking at this price range for an integrated amp. I ended up buying at Cayin TA30 from Bizzy Bee (modified) for about $900 and haven't looked back. I love the sound. I'm happy and content. Regarding speaker wire, I got some cheap wire ($75)...
