Subsonic music streaming app
Sorry didn't answer the original post. No I haven't tried Subsonic. Reason why I recommended SqueezePlayer because Subsonic sounded similar in functionality. 
Subsonic music streaming app
I discovered SqueezePlayer the other week. You will need the SqueezeBox server on your laptop and a controlling app like SqueezeCommander. I think you might be able to use the built-in website of the server from the browser but the SqueezeCommande... 
Plugging modem wall warts into power conditioner?
My experience is not quite the same but thought I would share since I view my SB Touch as "mini-computer". When I first got my SB Touch which used a switching type wall wart, I plugged it to my Richard Gray thinking that all recommendations of usi... 
What happened to Plastic CD Cases?
There seems to be a difference in the Japan packaging that Grateful describes and US packaging. I do like the new mini-LP style but the US version is lacking in the paper sleeve that the CD goes in which the Japan version seem to have. I have a fe... 
Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan
I have an NAD T742 and I'm not sure the T754 you are looking into would hold up to the task.I helped a friend setup an all MMGW and MMGC driven by a Marantz 8001. I was very impressed! The Audessy room correction made a huge difference and sounds ... 
iTransport for Zune
Thanks for the response Ckoffend. I do want to pull the digital signal so I can hook it up to my Bel Canto Dac. I will check out the Zune site and their customer support and see what they say. 
Zune dock with digital out
Thanks for the reply Tab110s.I guess I should rephrase my original question. Is there any product in the market that will provide a digital out for the Zune kind of like what Wadia did for the iPod? I know the Zune is very popular but just curious...

High pitch noise
In case someone is curious, I ended up running my cable box's coax through the Monster power strip. The built in filter took out most of the noise, but it is still faintly there. My next step is to replace the interconnect between my NAD and Place... 
High pitch noise
Any ideas before I redo everything? 
Pass Labs vs. Cary
If you're looking for a more "tubey" sound, I would recommend upgrading to the X-250.5 instead. From what I've heard, the .5's have more warmth. 
A Question for Maggie lovers/owners
Owning a pair of 1.6s, I'm a maggie owner for life. I've listen to other speakers that have been reviewed in magazines and something always seems to be missing. I guess you could say it's the "naturalness" of how the music flows. I'm very fortunat... 
CD player/ MP3
You may want to look for a Sony HARD1000. It has a digital out so you can hook it up to your existing DAC if you have one.I think this is discontinued, but you may be able to find a used one. Audio Consultants in Chicago used to have one for aroun... 
Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000
I'm a little biased towards the Placette passive right now since I own one. You can get a brand new one for less than that. Call up Placette, Guy should be able to answer any of your questions. You have 30 days to try it out. 
Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio.
I'm curious myself on how the modded s7700 with the Bel Canto DAC2 sounds.
