| PS Audio NuWave announced It looks like you get an improved USB interface (the DLIII downsamples to 16/44 before upsampling) and the option to run files in native mode rather than upsampling redbook. Probably worth the price difference to some people. I have a DLIII and do... | |
| Best inexpensive sub for Maggie MMG's ? Parts express Titanic 10" sealed sub is what I have had for 10 years fed through line level out from my preamp. Blends very well with my MMGs. $400 kit or $580 assembled. The kit is easy. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300... | |
| next step with magnepan mmgs? Two inexpensive reversible DIY that may make a big difference:Remove the speaker connection plate and wire around the fuses. To me, this increased the mid and high range resolution and broadened the soundstage.Also, get them off the floor. Some us... | |

| redneck iPod in-car connection Your best bet is to get an adapter that plugs your ipod into the cd changer input on the car's cd deck. The first "cd" in the changer lets you control your music with the ipod. The next five "cds" play your playlists in alphabetical order. Will co... | |
| Need DAC suggestion The Touch does not have a digital input, so you can't use it as a DAC for your CD player. It will play 24/96 files in flac format through the squeezebox server software. Playing music on the usb input through a flash drive has been problematic for... | |
| iPad-Greatest tool for manuals at your fingertips I wonder what you would think about the iPeng app and accessing hundreds of lossless redbook and hi-rez albums on your ipad. Very cool. | |
| Internet radio stations that sound really good Try roaming around the 157 stations on Shoutcast in the 320 bit rate category. No lossless category though. | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? I had an Eastern Electric DAC for a couple of weeks and was able to A/B with the touch dac analogue out. Could tell little difference, although I preferred the ss over the tube output on the EE. My old Theta dac was better than both on redbook. Th... | |
| Beatles USB via Squeezebox Touch The Touch requires that you have some available space on the thumb drive in order to operate properly. The drive probably doesn't have enough available space to write temporary files. Check your USB drive and Logitech support. | |
| Golden Tube Audio SE-40 One more thing to add. Sonic Craft performs excellent mods to the SE-40 that will improve the reliability and sound. You can check it out at http://www.soniccraft.com/upgrades/se40.htmI have had my two amps for 10 yrs after the mods with no problems. | |
| Blu Ray player-- Too many options PS3 -- Netflix streaming at 1080p with no disk, upscales DVDs very well and gives you free firmware updates with new features and capabilities. | |
| Maggie MMG Some thoughts:The trial period is too short because you need a longer time to break them in. The MMGs sound completely different after about 3 months of normal listening. You might be able to accelerate that by playing them non-stop at moderate to... | |

| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? FYI, I was able to stream 24/96 aiff files through Touch wireless from Windows server using a USB hard drive. Sounds great. |
