| HELP Mac-mini or Macbook Pro What do you need as far as set up? Do you simply need the computer set up or everything created? I've used a Mac Mini for over 4 years and really enjoy it. I have a MacBook but the Mini works so well and I like the fact I've have it in my audio ra... | |
| dbPoweramp For Mac Released I use XLD also. It's similar and...wait for it...free | |
| My PC Audio Question Journey I would use XLD for the reasons stated and because it is still an active and evolving software with updates (though infrequent) and MAX to the best of my knowledge has had no updates in several years. | |

| DAC doesn't recognize hi-res files Are you using iTunes as your playback software? If so it will not automatically switch sample rates from 16/44.1 to 24/192 and as previously suggested you will have to open Audio Midi under Utilities to playback a 24/192 file and change it again f... | |

| Artwork to ITunes I'm going to assume you mean the little artwork window that use to be present in the lower left hand of iTunes. If so, yes it is gone. The best way for me to add/drag artwork from my desktop is to enable Column Browser in the Songs view. You will ... | |

| Computer for music only? Lewinskih01I in no way was making any attack on you. In all my reading and experience I simply had never heard of such a thing. Certainly many discuss minimizing CPU load and noises but unless you are listening and ripping at the same time I canno... | |
| Computer for music only? "Using the same computer for ripping and playback is not ideal. You can rip at any other computer, copy the files into a flash drive, and copy them into the audio computer."I have not read or seen this comment anywhere else. What is the basis for ... | |
| Ripping CDs For Quality Sound I got through the first page of the sample before I disagreed with one assertion that Apple Lossless files won't or may not hold embedded artwork when transferred and the recommendation to use AIFF when in fact everything I have previously read an... | |
