| anyone using a duet with network attached storage? forgot to mention...a good router will help a great deal. i ended up getting a netgear dualband n+ and do not get dropouts from loss of signal. it also has fast transfer speed and a usb port that can turn a usb hard drive into a nas. people think ... | |
| anyone using a duet with network attached storage? i just went through the process of picking a nas. i use a transporter but same process with squeezebox server. with most nas devices, you will need to leave squeezebox server (sbs) on your computer and change the location the files are accessed to... | |

| Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable tbg is right...it is not easy! i did most of mine buying on audiogon and reselling. for the most part i broke even. a loss here and there but not too bad. in the end it was worth it to me as i really wanted to nail down that piece of my system. i ... | |

| Input on Spectral DMC 30SL the new amps must be amazing. to call the soundstage diffuse on the 180 is a wild statement! compared to just about any other amps it is super etched and detailed. it makes my krell, which sold for twice what it retailed for 10 years later, it is ... | |
| Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable MIT Proline Digital Reference won my trial of many digital cables. I was also surprised at how much of an impact changing digital cables has. As big as any other cable change if no bigger. | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s i know you are close to nailing this down but thought i would throw out another to consider. as much as you seem to like the speed, detail and efficiency of the spectron you may want to look at spectral. dma 250 would be a great match or even an o... | |
| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Well I could not resist and the MA-X is on it's way. Should be interesting. I have a feeling that my quest for the right digital cable ends here. If not I will likely go back to the Proline Digital Reference as I found it to be better than any oth... | |
| Input on Spectral DMC 30SL ack...i ended up getting a berkeley alpha dac which i run directly to my amp. i cannot say enough good about this dac. outstanding. at present, i still have the krell but i also have a dma 180 which was just rebuilt at spectral. the dma 180 is lis... | |
| Power Cords i have to third or fourth agree with tvad. pool all you were going to spend on cords and get the best one you can for the hydra. it is going to be the most audible and, imo, effective way to address what you have suggested is your goal. i realize ... |
