  1. hi Ashley, i've upgraded around 10 ATV's for friends and family if you need any help - I can upgrade yours for Free (if you pay the postage), i'm in the UK and can offer any advise you may need. and you can 'disable' any apple updates if you want - all this can be done automagically from a correctly setup patch stick in minutes. (which I could send you) U72
  2. Hi, the JISCO function on my DAC does do quite a good job with the ATV regarding Jitter Can you Suggest a Good Reclocker? i'm mulling over getting the Digital Lens Product PSAudio Detail here : http://boards.psaudio.com/showthread.php?t=3870 Looks like a great solution u72
  3. Hi Watchnerd, Advantages : - Cost £100ish secondhand for 40GB version (Upgradable quite easily to a current max of 250GB HD) Power Consumption is Very Low Quiet Small and can be completely hidden if you use the wireless iPhone/iPod Touch option rather than apple Inferred Remote If You use an iphone/ipodtouch you don't even need a monitor Passes Bit Perfect Data to an external DAC via Optical (This is the Option I Use) Keeps you Music collection nice and organized using iTunes (With artwork) You can use it as a Divx player once hacked (With AC3 DD5.1 Passthough) no keyboard/mouse required no powerbrick (mains plugs straight in) Disadvantages : - No Inbuilt CD/DVD Drive Not Quite as Flexable as a full blown MACmini/Macbook - but these cost quite a bit more. no keyboard/mouse - you'll have to edit your music library on a PC/Mac anyway, its late i'll add a few more tomorrow, heres a list of links to hack an ATV http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=736213
  4. Hi, I Currently use an Apple TV for my main system - and I find it works very well. I Sync my iMac to the apple TV (only the albums I want/Need access to ) and use the ATV as a Stand alone Music Server - I Also Use my iPhone as a remote which is well worth doing as apples remote constantly gets lost! anyway heres a breakdown of my system if you've any questions - fire away! 22" Samsung Monitor (£199 PC World) with HDMI to DVI Lead AppleTV (Fitted with a 250gig HD with Lossless albums, Latest 2.1 Firmware) Marantz KI63 Mk2 (Ten Years young! ) Altmann DAC (With Paul Hynes PSU) EAR 834T Amp (now upgraded to Border Patrol P20 ) ProAc D38 Speakers Cables are: Chord Sig Digital Chord Sig Interconnects Chord Sig Speaker Cables Nordost White Light Glass Optical (Apple TV to DAC) Rack is Sound Organization - spiked and Currently sitting on two Large Slate Slabs I used to have my Speakers on - But I Didn't like what it did to the Sound so They're Parked under the Rack The Sound Panels are Swedish Snow Crash 'Lunas' - They have really sorted the Bass Problem out that I was Having! I listen to a Very Wide Selection of Music from 70'/80's/Pop/Rock/Jazz to Modern House/Electronic/Rock & Pop Sound Quality is very nice - and the Altmann 'De-Jitter' Circuit seems to Work well, The Apple TV is a great solution as a jukebox cheap too - £100ish ebay second hand and £58 for the new 250 HD! http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1641/dsc01744xw4.jpg http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/1113/dsc01751md5.jpg http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/2827/dsc01750hl2.jpg
