| Sleeper preamp suggestions I agree wit Jaybo, I would probably try to get your Accuphase checked over by a technician, upgrade the caps, check potentiometers to make your preamp function like new. I think it would be worth it. | |
| Ayre Turntable?? DPS has been around in Germany for almost 10 years now as a company and Willi Bauer has been refining this table for even longer. It is loosely based on the Well Tempered and Pink Triangle tables that Willi used to sell in his Hifi store in the 80... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? S789f, I guess there might be a problem with the Bel Canto then - do you know anyone in the area with other USB DACs that you could try out. Would a Benchmark have similar problems? | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? I'm considering a Mac based server w/ outboard DAC, and just read in the current issue of Stereophile; Manufacturer's Comment from Benchmark Media Systems concerning "iTunes 7.5 bug" that sounds suspiciously like S789f's dropout problem....can any... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? S789f, no dropouts ever with my Mac Mini. What length USB cable are you using? USB may have problems if longer than 3m or 10ft. | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? Restock, maybe I missed it but I don't see where you used anything but a jittery optical out compared to the USB. I agree it looks like there is an excess amount of jitter in the toslink output of the Airport Express, Mac Mini and Transporter (at ... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? Also just to ad some information to the above experiments: I used a Glass toslink with a mini to regular toslink adaptor which works better than the Monster plastic optical fiber cable (as determined in previous trials. | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? Herman, the experiment you describe was the first one I did when I got the DAC1 a while ago (I started out with a Airport Express and a Macbook with optical out)... A better comparison would be 1. Mac Mini feeding Benchmark DAC1 via USB2. Mac Mini... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? Henry, looking at your plan B I still don't think that Toslink will give you the same performance as a USB connection. I had several people over today and we performed some more comparisons in my system:1) Slimdevices Transporter direct using the ... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? I called Benchmark's technical support and spoke to them at length about your assertion that USB is superior to Toslink coming out of the Airport Express. They assured me repeatedly that Toslink would be "identical" to USB. I know Benchmark says t... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? The connection of using an Airport express to a DAC is not ideal IMO. A USB based DAC such as the Benchmark DAC1USB and Wavelength DACs give much better results. I prefer having a Mac Mini connected to a LCD display, wireless keyboard, with quiet ... | |
| Nottingham Interspace or Michell Tecnodec? Having lived with the Tecnodec for 3 years and having listened to the Nottingham Horizon, Interspace and Spacedeck many times the choice is easy:I would go for the Nottingham, warmer yet more detailed sound, blacker backgrounds, better timing and ... | |

| Shipping damage protocol? Please Help. Agree UPS is terrible for audio. Use BAX or Fedex ground. Also, keep your cool as above, but notifly audiogon and have the sellers account on hold pending resolution as proof you aren't going away.There are lots of bad comments on BAX here. Also f... |
