Amarra HiFi and 24/96 FLAC Files - Heads Up
Yes, it is possible to convert 24/96 FLAC files to AIFF using Amarra HiFi. However, according to Amarra, when this is done they get down-converted to 16/44.1. This rather defeats my new found interested in HD audio.Thanks for the tip on Foobar2000... 
Amarra HiFi & HD Tracks
Thanks for your help Gocubs999. I am using a MF V-Link 24/96 USB to SPDIF conversion onto a Krell HTS 7.1. The Krell DAC will handle up to 24/96 files without problem. 
What's your favorite Apple-based music program?
I thought, if one uses Amarra HiFI with iTunes it is necessary too first convert HD FLAC files (24/96 and above) to AIFF? If this is done, the files are down coverted to 16/44.1 (or 16/48?) so they can play on iTunes? Is this correct? 
what speakers would you choose for a hometheater?
FWIW; I have a N801, HTM1, N805 and ASW850 B&W setup driven by a Krell KSA-250 (L & R) and two Pioneer Elite M-91 (center and surround). Sounds perfect to me. In fact, my wife and I have just watched/listened to Adele live at the Royal Alb... 
MacBook Air For HD Audio
Hifinutt604,Thanks for your comments. Agree; I will need a USB to SPDIF converter. I was thinking of using the MF V-Link 96 (or 192). I will have a look at the Audiophilleo2 as an option.

So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers
Many years ago (20?) I remember hearing a pair of Apogee Divas, powered by two Krell KSA-250 amps, at a HiFi show in London. To this day, I still think these are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. One day I plan to buy a restored pair o... 
Re-winding B&W 15" Subwoofer Speaker
Turns out the spider had come un-glued from part of the cone, the voice coil is undamaged. In the end I purchased a new subwoofer from B&W ($700) and everything works fine now. Allen Speaker Reconing in Houston are repairing the original speak...

Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
My like new, refurbished Krell KSA250. Sounds about as good as it gets to me. Also, it just looks cool knowing you have a massive power amplifier that will drive any known speaker load on the planet. Overloading this monster is just about inconcei... 
Subwoofer Rattle
It's the speaker that is faulty. I took it out the cabinet and hooked it up to another amplifier (Quad 606 MkII) and signal generator. Sure enough, it started rattling badly below 52Hz. Here goes ~$700 to order a replacement speaker (p/n ZZ14102) ...

Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread
This is a well know scam; avoid this scam artist like the plague! You are being wise to consult with fellow Audiogoners before parting with hard earned cash/components.
