| Mac to DAC thats comparable to Linn CDP? I replaced a 10,000.00 dollar Ayre CD player with a 600.00 dollar MHDT paradisea USB DAC, so yeah I'd say it can be done. Assuming you are playing back lossless files. I don't know streaming music may be low quality and lower quality MP3s sound re... | |
| Tower Speakers and Room Size I have not heard any of the speakers you mention but I have fooled around quite a lot with different speakers in different rooms. The room size you have is pretty small, so you can probably get away with monitors and lower power. I have a bedroom ... | |
| Is seller negative feedback a deal-breaker ? I'd buy from them, but they'd have to agree to send me the item I am purchasing and then I pay them when I get it. I have great extensive feedback that dates back 10 years and when I'm potentially dealing with a new member or someone with a negati... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? Just to clarify, the Wadia 170 is only good for outputting the signal of an ipod digital to a DAC. I have one and it works good. It works better with the newer ipods. I have a classic 120 that I just got and the screen shows and you can control al... | |
| Want to buy Ayre C-5xeMP but... I heard Charles Hanson saying on the Audio Asylum forum that the new Ayre QB-9 USB DAC is neck and neck with the CX-5 in sound quality. I have a mac mini and western digital 2TB hard drive and it's really quiet. You can hear it when it's ripping m... | |
| recommended Analog-to-Digital convertors? It only outputs via xlr and rca digital but the wadia 17 connected to an alesis masterlink gets me some pretty good lp recordings. | |
| Phono PreAmp with less than a 12" x 15" footprint Some of the Whest phono stages would fit the bill. | |
| Wilco/ Nels Cline: news & free album preview Yes, I just got both Alex and Nels new albums. They are both really good | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? I think Stereophile just did a side by side comparison of these 2 players. Maybe you can find it in their archive | |
| Any Zorn fans? I am a Zorn completist...hahahaha....just kidding. | |
| Wadia 170i/DAC combo with AudioEngine speakers Sounds like it would be great. The Audioengine speakers are really good sounding for what they are. I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. How much of an improvement do you think the upgrade to the A5s is. My main gripe with the A... | |
| Vinyl vs. Hi Resolution Computer Audio If it were strictly based on sound then vinyl, but if you take all other things into consideration I'd take the computer. There are few things more satisfying than knowing you can dial up any one of 5000 CDs and have it playing within seconds. | |
| iTunes music for home and on the go? Personally I wouldn't listen to compressed files even on my ipod. The ipods are pretty cheap nowdays for 120GB and storage is super cheap. Don't waste your time ripping files to MP3. There is a dullness to the sound that is audible on an ipod plug... | |
| Medical Isolation Platforms Sorry for the delay in responding. All you need for the passive version, which is what I have is a bicycle type pump. You attach it, open the valves and give it a few pumps, then let air out of each valve until the table is where you want it. I ha... | |
| "Heima" by Sigur Rós Thanks for the tip. Another one you might like that I really did is the documentary/concert footage by Arcade Fire. |
