| Anybody heard/bought Usher Mini Dancer 1 or 2 i listened to the mini dancer 2's at ces and they were very nice. right now, i prefer my cp-6381's in my large dedicated room. the next step up for me would be the be-10's. i also heard these in the same room as the mini dancer 2's. the be-10's we... | |
| Wondering about Usher Mini Dancers i heard the mini dancer 2's at ces. very fine! they were just getting broke in. for the $$$$, they compete with others i saw that were many times the price. | |
| Sonos vs. airport express you don't need a keyboard and mouse for an apple tv. you get a little remote with it. for a 1 zone audio only setup, an airport express is all you need. the apple tv gives you the option to stream audio and video plus gives you the option the setu... | |
| Sonos vs. airport express it depends on what you have and what you want to do. if you already have a mac with itunes on it, and you want to distribute music to 1 or many rooms at the same time, and you have a touch or iphone, you don't need a sonos. if you want multisource... | |

| airport express questions going to mp3, the bits are lost. compare file sizes. there is a reason why people use mp3 on ipod's because of the storage savings. also, it really doesn't matter what the AE uses to compress or manipulate the data from itunes, when it comes out o... | |
| airport express questions you can't add bits of information that wasn't there in the beginning. if you send 8 bits of info to an airport express, even after all of the codec manipulation, you will get 8 bits of useful information after the AE. sure you might get 24 bits af... | |
| ProAc vs Totem vs Usher, please comment i just got a pair of x-719's and they sound very good. i have them in my audio room with classe equipment right now waiting for stands to put in my family room. they disappear, are smooth, good bass, and fill the room with ease. it is a 13.5' x 24... | |
| airport express questions if something starts as mp3, it will end up as mp3. the codec that the AE uses won't add bits to the file to make it anything else. thats like saying compress a picture of 3Mb over the network, then have the codec on the other end create a 12Mb pic... | |
| Question about a music server i don't hook up my mac music server directly to my audio equipment, even if it is 2 feet away. i never use USB, always coax into the dac, toslink glass into a jitter device from airport express or apple tv's, even if the dac handles jitter i use a... | |
| airport express questions the airport express will receive any type of file that you ship it. you can use itunes or airfoil for xm/sirius radio. if you want a better connection, get a glass toslink cable. big difference over a plastic toslink. i go from the airport express... | |

| ProAc vs Totem vs Usher, please comment ryder - every B&W speaker i have listened to (except the cdmt with classe equipment) sounded bright/thin compared to other top brands including totems. I have heard that is why B&W partnered up with classe to take some of that zing away. i... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 DAC, any thoughts? i thought the music hall 25.2 dac was much better than the benchmark dac after changing the tube inside the 25.2. also, you have a choice of either solid state or tube output on the 25.2. |
