| Computer for music only? The issue of noise in a PC is an interesting and complicated one. I think it goes without saying that the PC should not have a lot of other work being down on it. Surfing the Internet while playing music is just a bad idea. I also turn off any vir... | |
| Best sounding new DAC under $2500? Should say, "It is NOT just a portable DAC". Even though the Hugo is a portable DAC, it is a standout as a stand alone DAC also.For some reason, the edit function is not working. Sorry. | |
| Best sounding new DAC under $2500? Check out the Chord QuteEX and the new Chord Hugo. The Hugo is meant to be a portable device, but Chord is calling it a Reference Product, which means a lot for them to say, just a portable DAC. They basically put their $25,000 DAC that was under ... | |
| Please help me find the right digital player I had forgotten about the Baetis. It is not talked about much but it is an interesting product. It is basically a purpose built PC running Windows and J River with a S/PDIF output. My one observation is that it is still a Windows machine. When you... | |

I remember one said that there was a large FedEx store just across the border in the US, because so many people shipped to the US, e... | |
| Please help me find the right digital player One option is to get a Mac Mini which has HDMI out and run one of the Mac players - Pure Music, Audiovarna or even J River or even iTunes to get started. You can use either Toslink or USB to connect to a DA. You can get a remote or use a blue toot... | |
| Please help me find the right digital player From the original post I thought he wanted a solution that did not involve a computer.If he is going to use JRiver why not just get a computer with HDMI out for the TV and go directly from the computer to the DAC? No need for an Oppo in that confi... | |
| Please help me find the right digital player The user interface on the Oppo for playing digital audio files is pretty limited, especially for a large library.Honestly, I am not sure what you want exists, except in the form of a Blur-Ray player or a computer. HDMI is just not part of the audi... | |

| JRiver 19 playback Glad you got it working. J River is a very flexible player but it does take some time to learn a lot of the tricks. Unfortunately, their documentation for the new users is pretty skimpy. Their website can be very useful and, in general, people are... | |

| JRiver 19 playback To select your output device, Tools - Options - Audio and select your audio device. You should see your USB device listed there. Just select the device with the appropriate driver format from the list. There may be a More Options list at the botto... | |
| J River Media Center 19 Musicmann1 - by key code, I believe you mean the network access key for J River on a particular PC. If so, you can get that from Tools - Options - Media Network. The access key is listed there. You can also reset the network access key there.The I... | |
| J River Media Center 19 Tcatman - it seems easier to restore all the settings and then reset the Media Network key on the new PC than to do all the settings by hand on the new PC. |
