| The cloud? You can do this with Microsoft OneDrive. Not sure how the client is presented on a MAC but on Windows 8 and Windows 2012 Server the OneDrive client service maps a drive on your local machine to the cloud repository. It is like having a regular loc... | |
| Resonessence Mirrus DAC and SDXC Cards Thanks the owner of Resonessence put me in touch with a Mirrus DAC owner and we had an email chat about the SDXC cards and the GUI via the apple remote. Main takeaway was the SDXC input sounds the best (makes sense) and that the GUI is OK, not as ... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream As an FYI, both TAS and Stereophile have reviews of this unit this month. I got both in the mail today. | |
| Emotiva XDA-2 Sonic Quality? I have the XDA-1 and it was fine with my AudioEngine 2's on my desktop system. However, when I upgraded the speakers to the KEF LS50's the XDA-1 became a massive weak link. So now it resides unplugged in my closet replaced with the fantastic Bench... | |
| on the desktop? I have a 60" long desk and I use the KEF LS50's on them. I am restricted by an alcove in my office that prevents me from adding some stands and separating the KEFs more than the current desk config. However, even with this current restriction I wo... | |
| Bryston 28B-SST2 or Karan Acoustics KA-S 600 ?

He replied back... | |

| Why aren't Rush fans more audiophile-natured? Rush has released their catalog on Hi-res download and it sounds great. Especially, the previously catastrophically bad Vapor Trails. The hi-res version of VT is fantastic. I always had a strong suspicion that album had very good tunes on it. I th... | |
| My current options: Anthem MCA30 or Bryston 3bSST2 I also own both the Parasound A23 (for desktop system, KEF LS50's) and Bryston 4B-SST's on main rig, Thiel SCS4. The Bryston is much better than the A23 which cannot drive my Thiels well. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Can anyone tell me what you can connect to the 2 i2s inputs on the DirectStream DAC? I am under the impression that it is related to HDMI. If this is correct, is it similar to the NAD M51's HDMI input. I was thinking I could use it to connect the ... | |
| Shrinking my system KEF LS50's | |
| KEF Blade2 Thanks. I do love the Blades along with the LS50's. | |
| Problem with Mog I listen to MOG on Windows 2012 server (likely not the best choice for this) at work for 8+ hours a day for several years and I cannot recall a single problem. However, we have large bandwidth at work so that is likely the reason.I highly doubt Vi... | |
| Blade vs S5 vs Avior vs Hansen's Prince E's I posted a reply 2 days ago. Seems like somebody is asleep at the wheel. |
