| Moving from MM to MC The Denon DL103 along with the 103r are outstanding devices and perform well above there current cost. The DL-103, given the cost is a great way to explore MC on the cheap. | |

| Suggestions for Connecting Mac to Esoteric K0-3 that requires older OS? Apple also sells "Refurbished" older computer on there site. I think they come with older os's. Yeah and they come with full warranty. I've purchased two over the years and never had issue. | |
| Suggestions for Connecting Mac to Esoteric K0-3 that requires older OS? Newer Mac's have HDMI. Try a simple HDMI to USB converter. Also Toslink works. | |
