| B&W vs Vandersteen? Antonkk, just make sure you have enough power to bring them to life. I also have 802D's and went from a 125W tube amp to bi-amp with class D amps (4 amps) and it made a huge difference in the speakers. They really love high current amps.Paul | |
| getting your Library List on your phone/pda? Collectorz.com has been around for years and is very good. Main program runs on a PC or Mac. It can read a CD on your computers drive, scan barcodes or in the newest version read digital files from a hard drive or server and auto arrange them by a... | |
| asynchronous USB dac or jitter reducing device I can appreciate that some of the less expensive DAC's listed above are good buys. However unless you can reduce the jitter you probably won't be happy with the sound quality. Take a look at the Benchmark DAC1 USB. It will reduce the jitter and th... | |

| sorting MP3 and ALAC m4a files in library I'm reading your request a bit differently... like you're looking for software to compare files and move files. If so, look at a program called Beyond Compare. It's great for comparing Libraries of 1000's of files. I keep a NAS Music Server (40,00... | |
| Upgrade advice for processor You could also consider two units. I couldn't find a theater unit that produced the 2 channel the way I wanted it. For me, Analog = Tubes.I have an Integra 9.9 for the theater application. Very good Digital section and can handle all the formats. ... | |
| Sooloos vs. Sonos I would give the Sonos ZP-90 a thumbs up as well. I'm using their Bridge with a NAS drive and FLAC files. Really works very well. You may want to consider a DAC like the Benchmark DAC that has Jitter reduction built-in (Has its own reclocker). You... | |
| help me make sonos better Bryon... I used it initially as well and thought that at 100% it would have a gain of 1 and all is fine. However, above 75% I could hear distortion. It was overdriving the DAC. Also when set to Fixed the volume is at 60% - 70% of the variable mode... | |

| help me make sonos better I've had a chance to listen to many music selections over the past 3 weeks and I have to tell you that the Sonos ZP-90 with the Benchmark Dac1 USB is a very good combination. The jitter reduction in the benchmark really works and I'm very pleased ... | |
| I need help choosing a DAC I also have an Integra 9.9 and the Digital processing is very good. However if you come out of a standalone DAC in Analog, the Integra Analog section is not good at all. The best you can do is to setup an input as Direct passthru, where all you us... | |
| B&W 803S, are they the right speakers for me? I doubt there is anything wrong with the 803S's, but you're right in that there will be a "Magic" placement. However, everything else in your system will affect the sound that is "best for you". I have 802D's and drove myself crazy until I got the... | |
| help me make sonos better OK Bobf1717, it's time for me to digest the comments from this thread and move on with my Sonos system. I did a bit of extra research on DAC's before coming to a decision. I had a lengthy conversation with Benchmark and feel their DAC1 USB is the ... | |
| help me make sonos better Soundgasm... I certainly appreciate your comments and many times a "lack of experience" should be viewed by our readers as a "fresh approach". ;)I realize that a DAC is still needed with the Sonos Mod, I was wondering if the MOD was needed with a ... | |
