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

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?
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 ...
