One variable at a time; either download Amarra to the 2nd Mac or try the first one with just iTunes. What type of files did the popping/clicking occur with? Often those sounds are caused between songs when changing to different bit depth/sample ra...

Audiogon management, you need to respond to schubert's comment and clarify your position. Let's hope your response is more helpful than removing the posts. Give us something to believe in. Cheers,Spencer 
Speakers For Balanced Audio Technology Amplifiers

Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's

Used pair of Silverline LaFolias ~ $4k, used Maggie 3.6s, Vandersteen Treo or maybe Quatro(not wood version which would be out of price range). If you are willing to consider satellite & subs, Evolution Acoustics MM1 + Rel or JL sub. Cheers,Sp...

InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7
Save your money for the dac upgrade, then the room treatments, and when your wife will allow, the speaker upgrade. Then revisit the preamp. Take a breath, Eddy! haha Cheers,Spencer

bdp24, that sounds like a good show! IMHO, a truly underappreciated performer. Cheers,Spencer 
Next step up speakers in totem acoustic line from the totem forest?
If you can find a used pair of Totem Wind, I am guessing they will be exactly what you're looking for. Cheers,Spencer 
Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?
Funny, before I clicked on the thread, from the headline the first one that popped into my head was also Carpenters Singles (high rez). Others that get more airtime than I should admit are the soundtracks to Guardians of The Galaxy and Jackie Brow...
