| Music from hard drive better than CD? Here is something I found --From 6 Moons' review of a Hard Drive based system ---One of the great advantages of playing music from a hard drive is that the playback is all byte-by-byte. You are not hearing music through a device that is trying to ... | |

| Computer as remote "CD player" I am using the Apogee Mini-Dac and I am extremely happy with it. | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? I have not tried the Hard Drive with SPDiF into the Emm Labs Dac. I'm not sure the Emm Labs DAC will take an SPDiF input. I use the Emm Labs in a different room from the Hard Drive/Apogee. | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Using WAV, you'd need about 80 gigs for 200 CD's. I've been told that some of these lossless codecs take about half as much space. If that's true, then you'd need 40 Gigs for 200 CD's. | |
| why the best brands dont use hdmi? That's pretty ridiculous. You cannot pass SACD or DVD-A through SPDiF and people are reporting better video quality with HDMI. I don't know that anyone is using HDMI for audio yet. Some players are offering Firewire for high rez audio and either H... | |
| why the best brands dont use hdmi? That's not exactly true. HDMI allows you to take the video signal from your DVD player in digital bypassing the video DAC's. Currently, your DVD player converts the signal to analogue, then your display converts it back to digital and back to anal... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? I have a MAC G4 that I've used for audio. There are several issues. If you have a high end system and you compress your music, you will notice and it will not sound good. If you take your signal from the computer's headphone jack, it will not soun... | |
| why the best brands dont use hdmi? Anthem is promising HDMI switching upgrades in the next few months, the Denon flagship receiver has HDMI switching -- others will follow. I think many manufactureres have been waiting to see how the connectivity merry go round would shake out.You ... | |

| Digital Minijack to Digital Coax or Optical Stereo Your HEADPHONE output is analogue. If you want to take an audio signal from your computer through your HEADPHONE jack, get one that splits into two channels (stereo) and then plug one into an L and one into a R input on your receiver or pre-amp. I... | |
| Best sub4k amplification and processing? That's an interesting idea. If you get a really good deal on a used B & K and decide it isn't what you want, I suppose you could sell it for close to what you paid. When you combine a high quality two channel tube amp with the other channels d... | |
| Best sub4k amplification and processing? I know exactly what you mean. If you get an AVP2+6, it will have 5.1 analogue inputs for SACD/DVD-A. Changing your mind about SACD and DVD-A? Receivers are fine for home theater, but I would be surprised if you could be happy with a receiver for m... |
