| Dummy Guide on What's Needed to hook up Mini Mac Good thread. Is there a way to get 24 bit/96 kHz PCM out of a Mac? A sound card? Software? I have a G5.Thanks.Bob R. | |
| Full Volume Issue Oops, my bad. I should have read your post more closely.Good luck; hope you can figure it out. | |
| Full Volume Issue I have noticed a similar phenomenon with my TV remote (Pioneer plasma); occasionally when I turn the TV off, it turns on my Primare pre-amp. Generally, I have noticed that most of my remotes act strangely when the batteries get weak. I cannot tell... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view The Absolute Sound surveyed several Class-D amps in the November 2006 issue. A couple of reviewers liked the sound of a couple of amps, but most did not. A typical comment from memory, "great bass (that's why these amps are used in subwoofers) but... | |

| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak I bought mine from Music Direct - "Cardas-Ayre Irrational, But Efficacious!" | |

It took all of about 15 seconds to decide I wanted it. (The rest of the system - Adcom GFP-565, NAD 2600a and Magg... | |
| Esoteric X-03 SE PCM v DSD Thanks. That's what I thought. I looked at the PCM1704 data sheet and could not find any reference to SACD or DSD.Bob | |
| McIntosh 1700 receiver question Hello,I have one of these as well. The silk screen marking says "left" over the left column (vertically oriented speaker terminals) and "right" over the right column. The lower connections are marked "common." Hope this helps.Bob R. | |
| laptop to analog, any suggestions? Yeah, Fubar is around $120; Benchmark is closer to $1300. That probably is a better place to start. Might try one myself. This website is constantly inciting me to buy something I didn't know existed ;^) | |
| laptop to analog, any suggestions? Dan,Benchmark has announced a new USB DAC that may do what you are proposing. See www DOT benchmarkmedia DOT com. You can find them through Audiogon's Manufacturer's List as well.I have never heard any of Benchmark's products, so cannot vouch for ... | |
| Marantz SA-11 Thanks for the responses. Guess I'll just have to listen for myself.Bob R. | |
| LPs, v. iPods - round 1 Yeah, and he's not going to travel with the team either.Bob R. | |
| LPs, v. iPods - round 1 I also read the CNN article. It seems the point is that convenience is the only thing that really matters. Maybe that's what irritates me so much. The triumph of mediocrity. |
