  1. Hi Keith. I have heard an AN which I liked very much. To my ear it is the most musical, dare I say it 'analogue' I have heard. I have not heard a fire wire Dac like the Weiss so cannot compare.
  2. I have just ordered Audio Note's top of the line DAC kit which includes USB input but is not async. I will set it up like this... Mac - OCX Antelope Clock - Dac All being equal, will this configuration work as well as async usb or firewire dac?
  3. Um.... In the context of this post, what does 'legacy' mean?
  4. Would there be any sound quality difference between a G5 tower and a G5 iMac? Are all G5's the same?
  5. Well that neatly answers that question, cheers. What if my laptop were used for all the downloads from itunes; could I not then sync it with the G5 and transfer what audio files I get, thus allowing the g5 it to keep running on 10.4? Thanks again.
  6. From those of you with direct experience, be it your Mac or one that you've heard; I want to know which Mac is the BEST platform for audio? Considerations such as size, portability, WAF or cost are not a factor.
  7. Will do. Yet again it has settled down so when it raises its head next time I'll capture it.
  8. I have reset safari a couple of times since my last post on this subject and voila! Today it starts all over again. What now?
  9. I'm using latest updated Safari. Has not happened now for a few days.
  10. Thanks for the help Chris. It happens more times than not, and as it happens, it is not happening this morning so I cannot send you a screen shot. I will send one when it next happens. Until then I will reset Safari and hope for the best.
  11. Does anyone experience multiple giant black rectangles with "Computer Audiophile" plastered across them, spread all over every page you open on this site? Some days worse (bigger, and more of) than others. I have contacted admin but they did not see fit to reply. It is driving me nuts and essentially renders the site inoperable. I'm about to give up.
  12. Thanks to all for the help so far. I should have been clearer in my question; yes it is the front end I am talking about but I also should have said the rest of the system is highly revealing as well. Thank you Rance, that's exactly what I am after. I will check out the article you mentioned. I am also interested to hear what your system comprises of.
  13. Does anyone have personal ownership experience with a well matched audio system in say the 20k plus range that has been bested by a computer based system regardless of price? Whilst I have heard good sounding computer based systems (although not many) I have not heard anything yet to compete with a more traditional system around this price range. I generally find the computer based systems I have heard to be lacking in musicality and (for want of a better way of putting it) an organic and analogue sounding quality. I want to believe that it is possible because it is the path I want take so lay it on me people!
  14. I am interested in thoughts anyone may have as to how a Modwright Transporter would weigh up against a stand alone DAC of roughly equal price and DAC specs. I know the two product types are apples and pears but my interest is in how they sound. My reason for asking is that I would love the convenience and extra features of the Modwright Transporter but am unsure if I would be taking a step down in sound quality because it is wireless.
  15. I'm going to thank you once more Eloise. Great information. You have save me allot of time.
