iMac vs. PC Laptop

What's an Aberdeen? I also mod the Northstar transport and DAC. Really excellent with mods, but the Off-Ramp I2S is still better. IMO, the Northstar Transport and DAC with my mods is the best CD playback that I have heard. Very close to computer-driven audio. For folks that dont want to mess with computers, this is what I recommend. The Northstar transport has I2S output at 24/192, compatible with my Benchmark DAC-1 and the Northstar DAC has I2S input compatible with my Off-Ramps.

Aberdeen is the one who fixed the NorthStar DAC for you.

I really doubt your Off-Ramp I2S is better.

Fixed what Northstar DAC for me? I have modded four of them and never had Aberdeen fix any of them to my knowledge....

You are entitled to your doubts. This is what my dealers and customers tell me and my own ears doing A/B's in my reference system. Why dont you contact Bill at Bauls Audio in Mesa, AZ? baulsaudio@cox.net

Better yet, just wait and read the 6-moons review.
