PC Audio Choice: Mac+USB, Transporter, or Squeezbx
Thanks Mtdking, I must have missed it. I'm still unsure, as I don't think the Musical Fidelity, which WP used in the review comparison, is as terrific a DAC as some do. I had an MF DAC, didn't like it at all. I guess the only way to really know is...

Speaker setup experts please?

Weights on a preamp
I find this helps with my tube pre. I use a pair of two pound coated scuba weight belt weights. The coating is dead so there is no ringing and the weights (as far as audiophile prices!) are cheap.
