Squeeze Commander
I ran out of space again!So anyway...I was just trying to say I really like this app and if any of you folks have an Android mobile phone and a squeezebox product, you may want to check it out. I have no affiliation, just think it's very cool! 
Power cord heiarchy
really...again? i can understand (sort of) that some folks are unable to hear the, what i perceive as significant, impact of power cords but what i do not understand is the need to constantly post in threads where others are exploring how they can...

Shane I know we already had this discussion but wanted to reiterate my suggestion...Spectral DMA 360 series II.I recently had a discussion with another member about his Dartzeel and, although I have not heard them personally, he gave it some prett... 
Berkeley Audio Design SPDIF Input
i would guess that you can get any cable made with bnc terminations. i inquired when i purchased my bada and they recommended using the aes3 input so thats the one i use. i tried many digital cables and the mit oracle ma-x digital cable was signif... 
MIT Props...
chazz...if thats the case (which i do not believe that it is) then roll mine off all day long. i auditioned a very long list before selecting these cables and the gap was big, very big. nothing has come close to making my system sound this good so... 
MIT Props...

External hard drives and sound quality
Kijanki...it was a tough choice deciding on the nas. connecting a usb hd to my computer would be cumbersome. the player is on my laptop which floats around my house and would not care much for anything connected. i do not even really like the n+du... 
External hard drives and sound quality
mapman...same files, same dac cables etc. the only change was moving them from my laptop to nas. weird huh? my system is very revealing and i am certain of the difference. glad it's for the better!things that should not make a difference sometimes... 
External hard drives and sound quality
i have some recent experience with this topic and some odd observations. i began, as you, ripping and storing on my laptop and about 6 weeks ago had filled it. this led to the process of evaluating external storage...nas, usb hd etc and i finally ...

MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU
