| If you were setting up a music server today ... I would say as long as the music player caches the music before playback, wifi to connect storage to music server should be fine. so get a server with plenty of ram.I am in the process of setting up a music server too. I am borrowing a 2010 mac mi... | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? hi,well I got them and have them set up but I was doing two things at once as far as changes to the system so I cannot really say how the sound was specifically effected.I recently went to a mac mini based pc audio set up and added a QuteHD dac an... | |
| USB Cable with No Power hmmm...okay, that makes sense. Thanks.Gosh, talk about over thinking things.[shaking my head at myself] | |
| Lightspeed attenuator lithium battery pack how many hours of listening do you end up getting with the 3800mah battery?do you notice difference in sound? | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs Rega Saturn:Which sounds better?? if you had more of a budget, The Cyrus SE 6 or 8 players would be a great choice for redbook cd play. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I used them under my monitors and they do give the speakers a good sound, albeit a maple coloring. The sound was much better than sitting on the tile floors.the mapleshade stuff is swamp maple I think which accounts for all that black striations.I... | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs Rega Saturn:Which sounds better?? having used a Sony S9000ES for over 10 years, I can imagine the 5400ES to sound even better and the build quality of the Sony's are top notchactually just today, I decommissioned the sony from my system as the computer has taking over its duties :... | |

| Keep '09 MM or buy a new '13 MM I would wait for the new mm that will be released this fall as I am sure it will be chock full of novel stuff just as the new Mac Pro looks to be.When it comes to computer stuff, I tend to think newer is better and assures me a longer useful life ... | |
| PSU for QuteHD Hi,The QuteHD is 2V output but seems more based on my volume control. | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... I don't knowI think you need to give it more than 4 minutes.I ventured into pc based transport on Friday night as a major skeptic, and by Sunday night, I am convinced and no turning back.I had your initial thoughts too during my first playback of ... | |
| Your Computer Based Transport Setup I am loving this computer setup and feel stupid for not exploring pc transports sooner. I actually am beginning to like the sound better than my CDP at this point as I have been going back and forth all weekend between cdp and mini.Its almost one ... | |
| Your Computer Based Transport Setup Well I am up and running on my maiden voyage into the world of PC playback. I am doing a quick proof of concept test this weekend before I take a monetary plunge. So I borrowed a mini mac from work with OS 10.7, 2 GB ram with duo core processor.Ri... | |
| Disappointed to hear that Cary has no CD Players. The "cd player" basically is a computer, hardware and software.Computer designs get outdated quickly but the CDP had a great run.As painful as it is to accept, the new CDP will be based on Mac, Linux or Windows and Dell, Apple, , Lenovo, Intel etc... |
