| ipod and dac? I have a pretty high end home system. My CD transport went down and I have been using my laptop and i-book in its place. Plugged into my system using the Headphone out split into the stereo inputs of my pre-amp -- which is not a real high quality ... | |
| ipod and dac? Can one of you guys explain to a computer illiterate like myself how to get a digital out from an Apple i-book or power book and how to change the sound card? | |
| ipod and dac? I use Sennheiser 580 precisions. Best thing to do is rip a CD using several different rates of compression and then one straight to the hard drive, uncompressed and see which is acceptable to you. For me, other than straight the the hard drive, un... | |
| ipod and dac? If price is an issue, there are other companies, like CREATIVE, that have hard drive players like the i-pod that cost less. As far as Hard Drives failing, I have had a lot of lap-top computers and have been working with external hard drives over t... | |
| ipod and dac? Also, Alpine is coming out with a car stereo that will interface with an i-pod, take over it's functions, and keep it charged. | |
| ipod and dac? AAC, which sounds much better than MP3, at 320 kbps, will give you very good sound quality. At that rate, one CD takes up about 100 Megs. On a 40 Gig i-pod, you could fit 400 CD's.Using AIFF, which rips the CD to your hard drive, uncompressed, one... | |
| hey besides exact audio copy...what about burning Deluxe -- "my mental age is about 11 and i'd love the money..." LOL. No, no, no. That won't do. When I run a child labor sweat shop, it has to be real children or else it loses something. | |
| hey besides exact audio copy...what about burning Also, apple is not the only company that makes a hard drive digital jukebox. I'm told that Just about any car stereo that is capable ofrunning an external changer can be set up to connect with an i-pod andmost other digital hard drive juke boxes. ... | |
| hey besides exact audio copy...what about burning Alpine is coming out with a car stereo that will interface with your i-pod,take over it's functions and keep it charged. For me, that's a better solution than some of the others like Sony and Omnify. Sony and Omnifymake Hard Drive units that are d... | |
| hey besides exact audio copy...what about burning You're welcome. Also, since Hard Drives are being made with higher capacities, there's no reason to rip CD's to your Hard Drive using acompression or data reduction codec. Rip them to your hard drive uncompressed -- you can get an external hard dr... | |
| hey besides exact audio copy...what about burning Hard Drive is the solution of the future. I see all of this stuff convergingat some point. Music, home theatre, computer, wi-fi. In fact, it has already begun to converge. It is taking some time to get it right, but weare quantum leaps closer than... | |
| Amplifier Recommendation for B&W Nautilis 804 Compared to the N803, the N804's bass is loose and flabby. It's a problem inherent in the speaker -- even when it *is* properly amplified.Before spending a lot of money on accessories, I would trade up to the N803's, which will always have more we... | |
| Digital Front End: Critical Listening >>People overemphasize the differences in digital<<I completely disagree. The difference between a $1,000 [new] Universal Player like the Yamaha s2300 and a 1,700 [used] cd/sacd player like theSony SCD XA777ES is nothing short of astou... | |
| I auditioned SACD today Just talked to a guy who attended the show in Vegas. He tells me they were demonstrating car audio systems that play High Rez, SACD andDVD-A. Universal players for the car. So, High Rez does not seem tobe going away. | |
| I auditioned SACD today I don't know, but I do know that several times I have queried the forumfor suggestions for DVD-A players. When the subject of SACD comes up,you can always count on a flurry of posts from people talking about howmuch they love their SACD players an... |
