| Apple TV without TV I had an ATV running headless...most of the time. I controlled it with an iPod touch. 160gb HD was too small so I just streamed it from my computer. Mac or PC, just need iTunes running. I found ATV to be frustrating at times and quite buggy. New o... | |
| iTunes setup with peripheral drive I've switched drives a few times. My way of doing it is to copy the music to the new drive. Point iTunes to the new directory, as you have done. After that I just delete the current library, then I add library and point it to the new folder. | |
| Mac Mini vs WDTV as a Music Server ?? The Apple TV does 1080i which you probably won't be able to tell the difference from 1080p. I think one thing that I would keep on the lookout for would be the Boxee unit that is supposed to come out later this year. | |
| AppleTV work with USB DAC? You're probably right, it might be the hard drive. Would be interesting if a SSD was put in. I recently resolved most of the performance issues by moving away from a NAS and installing a larger drive in my iMac, mirrored using SuperDuper, but that... | |
| AppleTV work with USB DAC? Don't think it can be done. BTW, the ATV does have a fan, when you pull the plug you can hear it spool down. I currently have an ATV connected through optical to a Theta TLC and then to a DAC and am happy with the sound. My main issue with the ATV... | |
| Apple TV music server question I stream as all of my music is on a NAS. ATV just can't hold enough music and since my NAS is mirrored, I have data protection. I don't use wireless streaming but use the ethernet connection instead. BTW, also curious. How do you find the Lens? I ... | |
| Help with iTunes library failure after SnowLeopard I've had a similar problem. On startup of iTunes, to me it always took a bit of time. After upgrading to Snow Leopard it was a bit better but after putting in the new iTunes I have to do the startup and run it overnight. When I wake up I get the s... | |
| How to Play iTunes Through My HiFi Depending on what type of firewire port you have you can also use a Focusrite Saffire or Saffire LE. This way you can use firewire into the unit and then use the spdif output into your dac. Another nice thing is you can also use it as a dac and pl... | |
| An antiquated DAC or an affordable recent one? Sorry, was too quick to post. So, another option is to take an older DAC and mod it. | |
| An antiquated DAC or an affordable recent one? Here's my little bit. I have an older Micromega DAC 1 and installed the Burson Audio opamps. Totally changed the sound and very pleasantly surprised. | |
| Considerable Improvement with EAC Rips Hi,I've tried ripping to AIFF with EAC. It's definitely a lot slower than ripping to FLAC. The problem I've encountered is that when I play back the file it's quiet (i.e. I have to turn up the volume a lot). Rippin to AIFF in iTunes playback is at... | |
| Sound levels: Apple lossless vs. original CD I haven't tried Apple lossless but I did try FLAC and WAV. I then streamed the music to my Squeezebox 3 which is connected into a DAC. Sound was very good but not like the original CD to me. I have read how computers make better transport but the ... | |
| Micromega Stage loading, skipping and eject I had my Drive 1 cleaned up as well and since then it's been much better. It sometimes has trouble when I scan music but other than that I can't complain. Want to keep it going as long as possible as I like the sweet sound of Micromega. That said ... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? There is also the Mapleshade power strip. Thing is it looks very cheap so I'm curious as to how it sounds.http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/audioproducts/powerstrip.php | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? Can anybody tell me what the difference between the Juice Bar and Q-bar is? They look identical to me except that sideways bit on the recepitcals. |
