Hum is generally present when different cables in your system are close together and not properly grounded. As you, I live far away from towns which actually provides you with "cleaner" electricity. The easy solution is to take a 4 feet rebar rod , pound it in the ground, attache a clamp to run a wire in to your house , and properly ground your system, some components in your system will have grounding posts, if not , you can simply attache a ground to a metal (screw) in your system, and ground the cables if you can. Hope this helps Best Regards Peter

Hello Chris Thanks for that video, very good explanation, I had already figured it out, my biggest obstacle was not having upgraded to 2.11 on the ipod touch. There is another ap called "Squidgy" (horrible name) that directly controls the Duet. Thanks again Peter

Hello again Chris I have my Ipod touch connected to iTunes on my MacBookPro, I have the remote "apt" downloaded on my iTunes, where exactly do you tell iTunes to look for a remote ?, I tried everything in the menu , no luck , I must be overlooking something that is probably totally obvious to everyone else but me. Little hints please, I don't need much to get going. Thanks Peter

Hello Chris I do have an Ipod Touch, I have been trying to set it up , I didn't see anywhere in iTunes a way to set it up , so some hints would be appreciated. Thanks Peter

I have been thinking about using an Ipod touch, however, I am not familiar with how to set it up could you give me a view pointers ? Thanks Peter

The sound quality of the Duet will largely depend on the use of a quality DAC . I am using a the Duet into a Bel Canto DAC 3 , and the DAC straight in to a Canary CA 301 MKII tube amp ( 4 X 300B tubes) , the Bel Canto has also a pre-amp built in with a stepped attenuator volume control, the speakers are Dali Helicons 400. I stream the music from a MacBookPro wireless to the Duet, the music is stored in lossless format. A B comparisons between this set up and and a high quality Canary Audio CD2 player coupled with an expensive Canary Audio pre-amp did not reveal any differences, not to my ears anyway. I play several instruments and I agree with the previous poster that the convenience of being able to access music with the remote and play along without having to walk back and forth to change cds is just absolutely great.
