| Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? jax2- let me correct some of your statements. 1) you don't need a squeezebox or transporter to get remote control capabilities from the mac. actually you are wasting your $$$ if you get the squeezebox and you could do better by getting different e... | |
| Which way to go to built a music server?? there is no reason to go with another route than the airport express. if you are using a mac (or heaven help you if a pc), all you need is to get the signal from the mac which the APExpress does. most people go into a dac from a mac/pc or from the... | |

| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? merlocpm - get a jitter device and put that between your computer and the dac. i use them in all my connections and you will get a big jump is musical quality by using a jitter device, plus you can go out coax to the dac. i would stay away from us... | |
| Hawks vs Model one sig. robertbrown - i disagree with you on a few things. the model 1's are an excellent speaker with tight bass in the right room. even the arros (which i also owned) have amazing bass for the 4" woofer. as for the mani's, they are not missing anything.... | |

| Mac mini to eq using toslink? if the dac accepts toslink, then it will work fine. if the dac uses coax, i would recommend going out of the mini to a jitter device, then use coax into the dac. going straight into a dac from a mac or any other music server without a dac sounds t... | |
| Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs? you can buy the biggest sub and the biggest speakers and if you put them in the wrong location in the room, you will not get the bass you are looking for. i have heard systems that when you sit down, there is no low end. when you stand up and stan... | |
| Best Monitor Speaker? totem rainmaker or totem model 1 | |
| Totem Power - Model 1 Signatures try a classe ca-200 amp and a classe cp-60 preamp. that is what i use for my totem mani 2's. another good pick would be a macintosh mc-252 with their 200 preamp. | |
| MAC Mini Digital Out cable? i use a good quality toslink cable with a toslink-mini adapter. i don't use usb ports in my setups. all my jitter devices that i use after the server or remote devices like airport express, only use toslink, glass, coax, or aes. you can go to fry'... | |
