| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus Found a perfect solution; two LaCie 2big Triple 1TB (2-disk RAID). One for the two BU plans (JBOD) and the other for iTunes/Aperture libraries (RAID1). | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus I realized one important detail about storing iTunes on an external drive; it would require another external drive for backup. As it is now, I need a minimum of two drives; one for SuperDuper! (bootable) backup, and one for Time Machine. I could g... | |
| iMac to DAC via 3.5 mini-phono jack/RCA IC? 'Bright' is an accurate description of how I would describe the Benchmark USB DAC1. So bright in fact that I analogized it as; "the walls of my ears were being stripped, like solvents to paint". It was simply a case of being outclassed by the rest... | |
| iMac to DAC via 3.5 mini-phono jack/RCA IC? With regards to USB DAC's; I tried a number of them over a year ago when I decided to migrate to a music server and sold my CDP (Accustic Arts CDP-1). I auditioned everything from cheap computer store types under $100, like the SilverStone EB01, t... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus I'm a MAC. 10+ years of Windows was torture enough. ;-) I'll have to try moving my iTunes library to an external drive. I've been meaning too. I would expect the iTunes Plus music to be sourced from either the original or a good 1st gen digital re... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus I wonder if these iTunes + lossy files are made from originals? I can only hope.Is there an obvious audible difference between Apple Lossless, WAV and AIFF? I haven't compared. From what I read Apple Lossless seemed good enough. | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus I didn't know what iTunes + was at first (thought it was another garbage compression codec like MP3, only slightly better), and once I found out I realized I could import my CD's with AAC to compare. I was curious to hear others opinions though.My... | |
| iMac to DAC via 3.5 mini-phono jack/RCA IC? I did not know it was only optical. Thanks.No USB DAC for me. Been there, done that. Didn't like it. My current source is iTransport. Looking for more remote freedom, larger screen, w/ iTunes. | |
| Remote Access of iTunes library through AppleTV Thanks. What if the iTunes Library is larger then the AppleTV's 160GB capacity? How do you access music that's not stored on the AppleTV HD? I don't care for the idea of being limited to only the music from AppleTV. That's similar to my current se... | |

| PC for Accuphase CDP? My personal recommendation for a Power Cord would be to audition the Ensemble Megaflux FSF @ $680 6'. I switched to this from Black Mamba Power Snakes on all components and it is a truly amazing PC. I use it on a BOW Wizard CDP & VIVA Verona M... | |
