I too use the remote (Apple standard, on App Store) app to control it all. And if you're scratching your head, wondering if it's "better" than CD, then it's working....
Your Computer Based Transport Setup
I am on the verge of moving to a Mac or Windows based transport setup but I am not sure which route to go.
I am pretty good with computers so a custom pc setup is what I have decided because of:
1. economically better than packaged music server
2. ability to experiment and change settings and software
However, I do not see a lot of info or thoughts on peoples computer based transport setups, (or ones that or pretty recent considering how fast the computer landscape changes so fast)
I will be going through a Chordette QuteHD dac to a Bryston 4b SST amp.
So, what is a good looking and performing computer setup?
Do you like mac mini's, big macs, windows 7 or 8 and any pro's and cons?
I am leaning towards a mac mini with something like audirvana. The mini is a nice looking small format and the OS is pretty solid and it runs quiet and cool from my experience.
Thank you fellow computerphiles.
