A week ago, I asked EC Designs if they had a Toslink cable they recommended. Gordon Brown's response:

hopkins and everyone else - what are you using for a Toslink cable? It seems like this would make a big difference to the sound.

Gordon helped me out, just like you said. 😃

Is anyone who bought the MOS DAC from the U.S.? I tried to place an order this morning and couldn't do it because the United States was not on the list of countries in the ecdesigns.nl web site.

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I didn't see anything on it in this thread or on the AO site. What is the recommended hardware for Audiophile Optimizer? It seems to me that there are two ways to go with an audio PC: low power and lightweight, like the Intel DN2800MT, or high power and heavy, involved cooling solutions like the CAPS Zuma and Pipeline. Do I need the core i7, or would AO be just as happy running on the Atom? I know JPlay recommends powerful hardware, but I can't recall Phil having said anything on the subject. I wasn't planning to run JPlay, so just asking about Audiophile Optimizer.

Thanks, Tim. It's nice to know I'm not the only one seeing this. JRemote is a nice app in many ways, but I really find this behavior annoying. If it could just store the covers in memory it would be practically perfect. I'm surprised that Chris Connaker didn't mention it in his review. Or did he not see it?

I have a digitized music collection of about 2500 albums and recently JRMC 17 on a computer and JRemote on my iPad. I noticed that when I'm scrolling through albums they take several seconds to load whenever I move down through the album listings. If I scroll back up right after a section of album covers has loaded, they show up immediately, but if I go too far back up, I have to wait for covers to load again, even if they had already been downloaded. So it looks like JRemote is keeping a relatively small cache (maybe 5 or 6 pages) of album covers, and loading everything else on demand. A few questions: Is this the expected behavior? Is there any setting I could adjust in JRemote that would allow it to keep all the album covers in memory at once? My iPad is a 16G wi-fi. Would one of the larger capacity iPads make a difference? Thanks
