| New setup with computer as source?? Ultimately, it will come down to your personal preferences, but a Wavelength Brick USB DAC coupled to a Mac Mini should be a good choice. Since you are using a Shanling tube CD player, a tube DAC like the Brick should be a nice improvement. Just r... | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 I went to Macworld 2006 at San Francisco's Moscone Center. For Mac enthusiasts, the place was buzzing with the new dual core Intel-powered iMac and MacBook Pro. These machines are beautiful and do move fast. They are overkill for sole use as audio... | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 Kana813, I am not sure there would be a difference between Foobar on a PC conected to a DAC versus iTunes on a Mac connected to a DAC provided that the PC is using kernal streaming (i.e., bypassing Windows' k-mixer).My point has always been that t... | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 To a certain extent, I agree with Ultraviolet on overspending on a music PC. It doesn't take a mega-processor to run a trouble-free processor, and that's why I didn't recommend a dual core Xeon motherboard. It doesn't take muc h processor power, b... | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 My pleasure. I should mention that with a Windows XP system, it is best to use a soundcard with ASIO drivers. Windows XP's kernel mixer or K-Mixer could adversely effect the quality of the output. For that reason, Foobar 2000 ends up being the bes... | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 First of all, the recommendations for a Mac OS X based system is a great start. It sounds like you want more than just a music media server. In general, Apple's OS X and their Mac computers are really better geared for handling digital media like ... | |
| Building a Music Server. I would recommend building a PC to your liking in terms of size and cosmetics that would blend in with the rest of your system. Personally, I just can't see building one on your own when you can get a beautiful Hush PC with ultra-quiet operation a... | |
| What is the Wavelength Audio house sound? I emailed Scott Nixon and asked him if he was going to issue a USB DAC in the future. I never recived a response back. How do you know that he will be coming out with a USB DAC unit? | |

| High End User Interface for PC Audio I am currently researching options myself and I am being lured into investing in a Bluetooth-enabled and WiFi enabled Apple Mac Mini and Sailing Software's Clicker software to use a Palm or other Bluetooth-enabled PDA device to control the Mac Min... | |
| PC Audio starting point What kind of PC do you have, a notebook or desktop/tower design? Also, can you describe the types of I/O options you have now with your PC (USB 1.1, USB 2.0, FireWire, etc.)? If you have a desktop/tower machine, do you have an available PCI expans... | |
| Advice on Setting Up A Laptop-Based Audio System? If your Apple PowerBook has a FireWire I/O connection, I would forget about the USB connection route and take advantage of the higher bandwidth and stability of the FireWire connection. M-Audio offers the FireWire Audiophile, a compact audio/MIDI ... | |
| Tube amp and speaker impedence matching I just auditioned the C-J CAV-50 with Joseph Audio RM7si Signature MK2 loudspeakers (stand mounted monitors) and this combination was very musical and three dimensional in its presentation. The Joseph Audio monitors disappeared when I set the volu... | |
| Card Deluxe/Digital Audio Server I am curious if you've done any listening with using the analog outputs on the Card Deluxe--basically bypassing the DAC? Also, can you provide specifications on the rest of your PC system (i.e., motherboard, processor, hard drives, RAM memory, etc.)? | |
| External sound device vs PCI soundcard I have an M-Audio FireWire 410 FireWire external digital audio interface and it has no noise as far as I can hear. The quality is outstanding and it is capable of supporting multichannel playback. M-Audio recently released the less expensive FireW... |
