| airport express questions When you hookup to the out via a toslink it sends the pure digital signal to whatever you hook the toslink to, such as a DAC. If you use 1/8" to rca from the same jack the airports internal DAC does the conversion and sends out an analog signal. T... | |
| The National...losless downloads? www.junodownload.com Just search for The Naional under artists. You can choose your file format as WAV. | |
| How do the Magnepan 1.7's sound I don't think they changed the actual frame, just the trim pieces on the sides are aluminum. Peeking through the grill it appears to be the same MDF base, had magnepan gone to an all aluminum frame there is no way they could have kept the price at... | |
| When will rap music be less mainstream? I really don't pay attention to ANY mainstream music, it has been years since I listened to the radio. There is a whole world of music waiting to be discovered on the internet, many young people are just too lazy to search it out. Kids also have t... | |
| Peachtree Nova and my Totem Sttafs...? As long as it has the power needed for your speakers I don't think you can go wrong with the Nova. The reviews have been very positive. If I could not hide my components in a cabinet I would definitely have gone with a Nova as a clean looking all ... | |
| Quad or Magnepan? I can confirm Elizabeth's comments, Magnepans do flourish when the volume is turned up. Many users have commented that Magenpans don't "rock" but I have found that to be untrue. They can play chamber music and rock music with equal aplomb. | |
| Rotel RB 1572 class D, anyone own this amp?? 500w at 4ohm is what I should have stated, my speakers are 4ohm so I look at the 4ohm ratings. I tried calling my local Rotel dealers to do an in home audition but they do not stock any 15 series:( | |
| Newbie G4 laptop to NAD 320 BEE setup An airport express is definitely the best investment you will have, you can also control your itunes from an iphone if you have one. I go from the express to my DAC using a mini toslink cable, the express has an 1/8 jack that is also a optical out... | |
| problem with preouts on CA 840a v2 Glad you figured it out, although that is quite strange. If you bought your Cambridge from an authorized dealer I would definitely take it back regardless of how long ago you bought it. | |
| Newbie G4 laptop to NAD 320 BEE setup You don't need a DAC per se, but it will improve sound quality. It will basically squeeze a little bit of extra definition out of that lossless file. You can pick up a good used one for 200-300 here, sometime even less. In the meantime just hook y... | |
| Active Speaker Recommendation EMP Speakers has a bookshelf and hybrid tube amp combo on sale right now for about $550 http://www.emptek.com/E5BiTubeCombo.phpNot self powered but definitely worth looking into for the price. Audio Engine has a nice range of powered speakers with... | |
| Amp newbie? Adcom GFA-555 vs Mcintosh 2505 I think your HK will be fine for pushing the MMG, I would see how you like it before pulling the trigger on a new amp. Magnepans are actually an easy load for amplifiers due to the fact the that are purely resistive, none of the wild impedance cur... | |
| Keces DA-151 Mk2 -VS- Grant Fidelity DAC-09 There are some positive reviews of the Keces, the GF is a new product and I have yet to see any reviews on it. Ian at GF is a nice chap so I would lean towards giving his product a shot, plus I believe they have an in home trial period. At that pr... | |
| Inexpensive XLR cable for SUB Try Monoprice, a 50ft cable will probably run about $25. I have used their products quite a bit and the quality is excellent for the price. | |
| Anthem MCA-2 Series 2? 275 is a good deal, they regularly go for 500-700 here. At that price I would take it for sure, if you do not like it you can resell it for a small profit. |
