| Small Shelf System For Baby's Room? I might be tough to find a digital input in a shelf system. An alternative could be an inexpensive DAC with optical output, like the Musical Fidelity V-DAC or a Valab, connected to the Airport Express and then to something like the Tivoli S7horton... | |
| What did you own in the 60's? My first system, 1966, was an AR turntable, AR speakers and a Dynaco SCA-35 integrated I built from a kit. Great memories of that setup, it was playing almost constantly for several years. Added a Tandberg reel-to-reel at some point later. | |
| New Mac Mini Outputs Yes, as I said, Toslink output is available on the new Mini, as it has been on all of the Minis. | |
| New Mac Mini Outputs It also has optical digital output, mini Toslink, through the headphone jack, just as on the Airport Express. | |

| best towers for $3000 ? I would highly recommend you audition the Devore 8's. | |
| Recommend me a DAC for 300 I've owned two below your budget, the Valab at @$200and the Nuforce uDAC @$100. Both sounded good and I actually preferred the uDAC. Two others in your price range to research and listen to if you can are the Beresford and the Musical Fidelity V-DAC. | |

| SACD - Pioneer Elite any good? Cambridge Audio? I was going to suggest a used Denon 3910. A lot of them seem to be coming on the market now. They're well built and sound very good at their price. If what you're interested in is SACD playback adding an external DAC won't do you any good. | |
| Best lines in a song "Forever's a promise no love can survive."She said, "You once cried my name," I said, "Well, baby, things change,"Dwight Yoakam, "Things change" | |
| DAC or no DAC? If yes, which one? I agree with Mezzrow's assessment of the Nuforce uDAC. Its only input is USB but it's very impressive for a $99 piece of gear, substantially better than the headphone output of my MacBook Pro and better than the highly regarded Valab DAC I owned t... | |
| Rotel 955AX cd player Inside a typical one-box CD player there are two main components, the transport that spins the disc and picks up the digital signal and a digital to analog converter for those bits, the DAC. Some players have outputs only for the two channels of t... | |
| Leben CS-300 compared to Red Wine John Devore was very helpful when I wrote to ask about amplifier options for my Devore 8's. | |
| DAC/PRE The Benchmark DAC1 HDR has those features. |
