Great - got to hear that converting via itunes works just as well from sound quality standpoint. thanks!

hey guys, I currently have a mac setup and have transfered most of my CDs to ALAC via itunes using the recommended setting. After reading many post here, there are some folks who believe that AIFF is superior, and given that hard drive is cheap, there is no downside. I don't want to reopen the format discussion since I already decided to use AIFF, but the question is whether I should delete all my ALAC songs and re-transfer all my CDs to AIFF via itunes OR can I just use the transfer function in itunes to convert FLAC to AIFF. I'm really hoping the latter works but ultimately, quality is what matters most to me so need your guidance on this. thanks! Dion

just read the this thread again and one thing I didn't do was unplug - plug the WEISS (I thought turning off means pressing the on/off switch). This could be the reason, but alas I don't have the mac mini to try it...

I was the one who contacted Daniel about the my mac mini not recognizing DAC2. Tried with two different 9pin-6pin cable and no luck. Tried turning on the DAC before and after connection and opened the WEISS control panel software still no luck. the software indicated that device was not connected. The culprit could be a defect DAC or a defect mac mini. Its good to hear that someone verified it worked, but I ended up returning the DAC and the mac mini out of frustration...
