| Snow Leopard and audio quality I didn't notice that. Which Mac Mini do you have? | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 vs DAC-1 HDR If you ever find the DAC-1 sounded a little white or edgy and not as smooth as you expected, make sure you put a pair of snap-on ferrite cores on each end of all digital cables except toslink, as well as on the power cord; it is particularly impor... | |

| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE So far most of the posts in this thread are all pointing to other reviews and opinions. Is there anyone actually own a BDP-83SE? | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE So buying a BDP-83 and than upgrade to 83SE costs $100 less than buying a 83SE? Interesting pricing. | |
| Avalon Pricing Policy? Art, your high moral standard is surely admirable. But we are talking about a business transaction here. Business transaction is all about negotiation, particularly when high-priced goods is involved. To me, unless I am buying rarity, a seller who... | |
| Avalon Pricing Policy? Just be patient and you might be able to find a slightly used pair here at a deep discount. | |
| Is weight really mater? Yes and no. You have to know what the weight difference means. If someone shows me a 100Wx2 class A amp but it weights only 30lb. I know it can't be good because he must be cutting corners on heat-sink and power supply, two critical components whi... | |

If you are talking about up-sampling of video to 1080p than it has absolutely nothing to do with CD playback.Also, up-sampling of redbook CD will sound different but not necessary better. It depends on how it is done and your personal taste. It is... | |

| Benchmark Dac 1usb in syergi with what integrated I am not trying to talk you out of it but I think it is a misconception that an integrated will give you more weight and body than driving power amp directly from a DAC-1. DAC-1 has a very powerful output stage. I suggest you give it a try before ... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Just saw that Amarra 1.1 is out. The readme says it supports Apple Lossless but not the ones generated from Max. Well, I am bummed since most of my hi-res tracks are just that. I was going to place an order as soon as Apple Lossless support is in ... | |
