  1. Howdy everyone.. I am in the process of building a music server to be run through my existing hi fi set up (which consists of BAT integrated and Audio Physics Virgo 2 speakers). I'm a bit of a novice and have some newbie questions and concerns that I need some advice on. I am looking for the best sound quality possible... Here's the big question: I already own a MacBook, a Western Digital Mybook drive, and a PS Audio DLIII DAC. Is it possible, using a wireless router like the Airport Extreme, to have all of my music files on the Hard Drive and just control it from the Mac Book remotely? or would they physically need to be "tethered"? I would ideally love to sit with my Macbook on my couch, which is some distance from my equipment racks, where the DAC and HD will reside. The other option of course would be to get a dedicated MacBook or Mac Mini for server and just leave it hooked up--but, you know, I'd prefer not to spend the money if I don't need to... ALSO: has anybody tried the HRT Music Streamer DAC? i hear good things.. Thanks in advance!
  2. Hi Chris..<br /> Awesome site.<br /> <br /> I am just about ready to take the plunge and have some newbie questions for you.<br /> My current system consists of a BAT integrated amp, an Ah Njoe Tjoeb CDP (a modified<br /> Marantz player with a tube output stage), and Audio Physic Virgo II speakers..<br /> <br /> I already have a PS Audio DLIII DAC that is being lent to me (which i could probably get<br /> for a song). I plan on getting a Mac Mini and either a Western Digital Mybook or Drobo<br /> array. I will be hooking the Mini up to my HDTV and will control it either via my Macbook<br /> or with a wireless keyboard.<br /> <br /> So here are the questions:<br /> <br /> - I know the Mac Mini has a sound card, but can i get better sound<br /> quality by upgrading it? <br /> <br /> - I have read a lot about the Bryston BDA-1 DAC How does the PS Audio compare<br /> in your opinion? I think I can probably get the PS for about $400 or so. Would<br /> the Bryston DAC be worth the extra money? <br /> <br /> - Anything else I should consider?<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance for your advice!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
