Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? i do know dan, been over to his house before to listen to his modified dvp9000es players when i was thinking of modifying mine a few years ago. i have not heard his modified TP, but i have listened to his preamps and cd/sacd modified players. | |
Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? something lost in the translation. i never mentioned about a dac in the g5. imo, there is no dac that is worth anything that resides in a computer. jax2, i think you are confused on what a wap device is. it is a device outside of the computer. you... | |
Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? the AE hookup is not different than what you get with the transporter. all the AE does is to accept a signal wired or wireless from a central computer. that is exactly what the transporter does. so if you think that the AE device is inferior to th... | |
Imac too old??? you are running fine now. what i would do is get yourself a NAS disk setup and put all of your itunes stuff on that. get a NAS that has 3 or 4 disk drives in it so you can build a raid 5 setup to protect your library incase 1 disk fails. also, the... | |
Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? jax2- the only reason i said what i said is because your initial reply indicated that the poster "needed" to do certain things. IMO, there are much better alternatives to what you stated. let me clarify:to get wireless, there are many options: wir... | |
Anyone compared Totem Forest to Odyessy Lorelei i did. it was ok. i used to own the odyssey monoblocks a few years ago and they were nice, but i have since have had mcintosh and classe equipment which are many levels above the odyssey. for the $$$, odyssey produce some very nice equipment. but ... | |
Anyone compared Totem Forest to Odyessy Lorelei i like the totem's over the lorelei. i do like the odyssey's but the forest is a more musical speaker. the forest will give you the bottom end like the lorelei (but tighter) and a better midrange with sweet sounding highs. you should listen to the... | |
Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? jax2- let me correct some of your statements. 1) you don't need a squeezebox or transporter to get remote control capabilities from the mac. actually you are wasting your $$$ 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.... | |
Hawks vs Model one sig. the model 1 is an excellent speakers. had it for years in a 12 x 13' room. i did eventually team them up with a rel strata III sub because when i had to play at low volumes, the bass was pretty lean and using the sub allowed for full sound at all ... | |
Mac mini to eq using toslink? correct | |
Mac mini to eq using toslink? you need to get an adapter at your closest fry's for $2 and place it onto your toslink cable and plug it into your mac. the adapter is a little longer and allows the mac to send digital signals. all of my mac and airport express devices uses this ... |
