Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility
The key here is "convenience". I bought the iDecco because I already have an iPhone, not the other way around. The iDecco is used as a bedroom system for occasionaly listening, not meant to be the best option for the ultimate music server solution... 
Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility
I actually emailed Peachtree Audio about this problem, but haven't heard back. Not sure if they have any customer support at all. 
Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility
Just want to update this thread to report that I recently upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.1 and noticed a compatibility problem with the iDecco. Now in addition to a pop-up window that says "this device is not optimized for iPhone", a 2nd window wo... 
Wyred 4 Sound DAC1 or DAC2?
Hi Mihaitaa,Can you comment in more details the sound quality between the DAC-2 and PS Audio DLIII with Cullen IV mods? I have the PS Audio DLIII with Cullen III mods. I know the USB on the PS Audio is inferior to SPDIF coax. What about comparing ... 
Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility
Hi Rockn, if possible, can you describe the difference in sound between driving the Forest directly with iDecco and driving them with iDecco + McCormack? i'm also a huge fan of Totem. i own the Mite, Staff, and a surround system with the Arros and... 
Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility
Naim UnitiQute seems like an interesting product, especially with the build-in internet radio. Not sure if it's $1000 better than the Peachtree though. Right now I can do internet radio with my iPhone. One interesting I saw on the Naim UnitiQute w...

not sure if bryston b60 has a home theater bypass mode, if it does, you can acutally use it as a power amp to drive the peachtree if needed. but sounds like space is going to be a constraint, if that's the case i think iDecco or Decco 2 is probabl... 
Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility
Apple TV seems to be a decent alternative to Squeezebox Touch. I checked one out at the Apple store recently, it seemed to run pretty hot to touch. Also no Pandora is a downside (although you can get Pandora indirectly through Airfoil). There's al...

The squeezebox touch seems intriguing, might have to look into that. Thanks. 
Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility
one main reason that i bought the iDecco was for the convenience of a bedroom system. a dedicated ipod makes sense, but unless i get the ipod touch, i wouldn't be able to listen to internet radio like pandora (not the best quality, but again very ... 
Oppo DV980H Audio Quality
Mdconnelly, okay,I went out and bought a Diana Krall Hybrid SACD (The Girl In The Other Room) and I'm sorry to say that I was wrong. The Oppo does NOT convert DSD to 24/96 LPCM and allow it to go through the digital coax or toslink output. It will... 
Oppo DV980H Audio Quality
Mdconnelly, yes, that's what I'm saying. Oppo will convert DSD to LPCM first, at least that's what I gathered from the Stereophile review and other online posts. It's this capability to output 96khz LPCM that had stereophile raved about it. Unfort... 
Oppo DV980H Audio Quality
Unsound, I should clarify myself. Oppo is a decent performer with SACD or DVD-Audio when used as a transport to output 16-bit/96khz digitally through coax connection to good DAC. Oppo players will not output DSD from the SACD, but it will convert ... 
Oppo DV980H Audio Quality
Remember, all the raves about oppo's audio capability are centered on using the oppo as a transport only. Its ananlog RCA outputs are nothing to write home about. You want to connect it to a decent DAC to appreciate its quality. On a side note, I ...
