M2 Tech hiFace users
My HiFace arrived today and made a difference! I am using a little over 10 meters of 75 ohm coaxial digital cable from Sonic Wave and it is working great! 
M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it?
OK! the jury is in - the M2Tech Hiface most certainly did make a difference in my system. Bass is sharper - that is the main thing that I noticed but also, vocals are more in focus. I thought things sounded good coming out of the Mac before but th...

Blindjim: Email Nadia at sales@m2tech.biz. in Italy. She may be able to ship direct to you but I think there is some caveat that TG has a monopoly on the USA. Since I live in Mexico it didn't apply. Besides, originally I contacted TG for the purch...

Wouldn't you know it - about 30 minutes after my last post the M2Tech arrived. I will test it out this evening and give my first impressions. No doubt the world will be waiting anxiously.

Thanks for the input Blindjim. I am not clear on how Pure Music and others work. Is it a music download operation or does it play my own library? If it plays my own library, what happens to iTunes? Does it mess with my iTunes artwork? BTW, still w... 
amarra or pure music..?
Splashkin: So this is a music download system independent of iTunes?

External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini.
I'm using a 2TB Cavalry (raid configuration) with an iMac and it has worked very well for 3 years now. It has firewire and USB capability. I use the firewire. It is not very quiet though.

Tomjoe - that is always a possibility but today I finally figured out the rest of the problem. I had left the iTunes Equalizer on - it is normally off. I was playing around with it a while back. Once I turned it off the music became instantly crys...

Do either of you know how to go "backwards" and restore an older version of iTunes? As I stated above the improvement with the newest version is good but maybe I'm getting to picky since I still think I'm hearing some issues.

Hellofidelity and Arni: Just a follow-up note on the solution. I had upgraded to iTunes 9.0 and the trouble started. Today a buddy came over and suggested we see if iTunes had another upgrade. Impossible, I thought - its only been about a week. Su...

Thank you Arni - Yes, I recently upgraded to iTunes 9 - hadn't thought about that. How did you correct the problem after upgrading to a newer ITunes version? Maybe you are right on the mark.

It isn't a matter of wanting to improve on the Mac Core Audio set-up - it has worked wonderfully well for the last 3 years. It is just a matter of trying to correct a sudden degradation in the sound quality over the last two weeks. The problem lie... 
Sound Card Recommendations for the iMac
Hellofidelity: Thank you for the response. I have an iMac 8.1 Intel Duo. It does have optical/usb/firewire capabilities. I am currently using a Pop Pulse USB to SPDIF converter (it also converts the Toslink) which has worked well up until about a ...
