| McIntosh MA6300 or 6500? i have owned the 6500. i would save and get a used 6900. awesome. 6500 is a little low on power. | |
| Apple TV sound quality as a transport i use xld on the mac to rip my cd's to itunes. hellofidelity - my cable is buried in my cabinet so i can't tell for sure, but i think it is the wireworld supernova series. right now, i use the monarchy dip jitter device. i used/owned other jitter ... | |
| Apple TV sound quality as a transport the cables could make a difference. i switched from plastic to glass toslink from my apple tv's or airport express units and there was a difference. i also go to a jitter device between the apple tv and the dac. another big improvement over going ... | |

| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. the seagate 1.5tb drives have performed very well for me. also, remember to get 2 so you can backup your drive. don't be fooled by the drobo, raid, etc... always have a backup. also, for macs, use firewire 800 if your mac has that capability.btw: ... | |
| Jolida 1501 RC i would choose the jolida over the rotel or NAD. i have listened to the 1501 but have multiple jolida 1301's and a 1701 that i think are better than the 1501. the 1701 has a remote, the 1301's don't. | |
| Does Apple airport express work well? wifi is a distant 2nd choice when comparing wired to wireless. you claim the AE is the same speed as the extreme: for wireless sure, but how about wired? you can't compare that because the AE doesn't provide that functionality. also, with any wire... | |
| Does Apple airport express work well? ok, it is a cheap mans router. it is a very limited router. if you compare the apple extreme router to the airport express,there is no comparison. will the airport express get by, sure if you want to call it that and in limited cases, will it ever... | |
| Does Apple airport express work well? the ae is not a router, it can extend a network, not create 1. the apple tv is a wired or wireless device supporting the 'g' and 'n' standards. it is always best hooking up devices using cables instead of wireless. | |
| Does Apple airport express work well? the AE is a simple device that works either wired or wireless. i have mine hooked up both ways without any delays or dropouts. if you are getting delays wireless, try changing the channel. i had to do that a few years ago and haven't had any issue... | |
| USB DAC better than optical? try aiff or apple lossless. i agree with using glass over plastic for toslink. | |
| USB DAC better than optical? buy a jitter device hat goes between the mac and krell. i use them in every system i have. also, the krell might not have a quality dac inside it. before going to a streamer or vdac, and since you have a krell, i would suggest a good tube based da... | |
| Computer Do Over if your files are on another mac, just link to the mac, present the hd on the imac, and start copying. to start this, go to GO, then Connect to Server from the menu bar. type in your ip addr of the mac you want to attach. if you don't know it, the... | |
| Looking for new speakers i agree, it is a matter of taste. i also agree with you that weight doesn't make a speaker great. what i was trying to say the build quality of all the usher's i have heard and have read about is excellent, as is the sound.enjoy your new speakers. | |
| Computer Do Over gmood1 - i think a mac mini would be a good media server, not just a music server. like i said earlier, i don't want my computer in the same room as my audio or video. so in this case, i am not going to go out of the mac/pc straight into a preamp/... |
