Servers: Are we there yet?
oblgny,Please answer my questions to you posted now at the bottom of page 1 of this thread. Without any detailed explanation of the facts, this all just sounds like something about the setup was misunderstood. No big deal, we've all done that :-)H... 
ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO SELL
Michelle,My condolences to you & your family.Regardless of whether you find a dealer to sell on consignment or you sell here, you do yourself a huge disservice by trying to sell the system as a bundled package. It's easy to tell yourself that ... 
Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF?
Used pair of Totems or Audio Physics fit the bill; they have a number of models at various price points. Side-firing woofs on the AP's dictate careful setup. Cheers,Spencer 
Servers: Are we there yet?
oblgny,Why are you saying that the vault has to be connected to the internet to play? Why are you saying that your computer has to be on for the vault to play?  After reading about it, the vault acts as a NAS and has internal storage. You should b... 
Question: Need Help with Cover Art Not Being Displayed on the Aurender N10 Music Server
hgeifman,Well done!!! Really glad that Doug's scripts did the trick. Many on the computeraudiophile forum have recommended Dougscripts for many situations. Your detailed instruction in your last post will be beneficial to many former iTunes users ... 
Any suggestion on DAC below $1,500
Hi Eddy,Yes, the difference w/one of the discussed dacs will be big. If you have no LPs and lots of digital music, get the dac first. As the one who originally suggested the Schiit Gungnir Multibit ($1249 direct from them) I can tell you that I've...

Question: Need Help with Cover Art Not Being Displayed on the Aurender N10 Music Server
Get Yate on your mac, and use the auto art search for each album. Works well, and the metatag editing is very nice and user-friendly. I doubt you meant any harm, but the way your last post reads it sort of implies fault on Aurender for not properl... 
JRiver vs Foobar - which do you prefer and why?
try computeraudiophile.com forums. Massive discussion of software for both pc & mac. Cheers,Spencer 
Servers: Are we there yet?
Exactly; you need a functioning router so the wireless controller(e.g. ipad, android tablet or phone) using the control software can access the server. Psag, to play music stored on a local drive connected physically to a one box renderer or store... 
Any recommendations on a good service shop?
Bob Backert, of Backert Labs, RHB Sound Dezign. He's in PA been doing repairs and mods forever. Raves from customers on his preamp & amp mods led to Backert Labs own preamps. Bob is one high integrity guy! He's done wonders for many of our loc... 
How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime?
Unplugged  on vinyl does sound great exhibiting the attributes you mention. Cheers,Spencer 
How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime?
"How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime?"How can it be that so many new recordings don't? Compression, auto-tune, Apple Inc......(insert long list here). ;-)Cheers,Spencer 
FLAC vs WAV
ddriveman made the perfect post. For discussion across everyone's systems his points reach the conclusions that will usually apply. Bottom line use AIFF or WAV, if if metadata headaches bug you, like they do me, use AIFF. Cheers,Spencer 
Jimmy Fallon has a Mcintosh turntable
Taters, I believe I read that somewhere too.I think the same table is featured on the Sherlock Holmes based Elementary. B&W speakers are often shown in their living room. Cheers,Spencer
