  1. I would but the shipping would be different. Not sure what it would be or what import duties might be involved.
  2. For sale is my extraordinary Lightspeed USB cable. I am the second owner of this cable and it is in very good condition. I have the original packaging, spacers, etc. This is one of the finest cables I have ever used. I have gone away from a computer and I am now using a server with S/PDIF connection. That is my reason for selling. I am selling for $550 including insured shipping in the continental USA. I accept Paypal and I do not impose a surcharge. Please see my feedback on Audiogon under the same user name. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
  3. For sale is my Mac Mini. I purchased it new 6 months ago. I upgraded the RAM to 16GB. I also had a Samsung 850 120 GB SSD installed. Sale will include original 4GB of RAM as well as 500GB original hard drive. I also will include a Pangea IEC adaptor to use an upgraded AC cable. I have all of the original boxes, discs, etc. All is in mint condition. Will sell for $650 including shipping in CONUS. Also, no surcharge for using Paypal. Please see my feedback on Audiogon under same user name. Please let know if you have any questions.
  4. I could not disagree more with your conclusion. I am using the Devialet 200 ( which replaced Audio Research and Auralic) and I find it to be an outstanding piece of gear. My conclusions are much more in line with the majority of those who have spent time with the device. I have been in the audio business for more than 40 years and it is not only a great sounding unit, but an astonishing technical achievement as well.
  5. While I did not have a great deal of time to spend with it, I was able to try an Aries in my system via USB. I attached a large thumb drive with several hi res albums that I listen to frequently and know well. I must agree with Miguel. I found the sound of the Aries to be dull and uninvolving. The image size was smaller and distant in comparison to the Mini/Audirvana. It was not terrible, mind you, but not nearly as good as the Mini in my system. The other troubling aspect was the DSD to PCM conversion. It was clearly inferior to Audirvana.
  6. Miguel I am curious, how do you have the split USB of the LS connected to the single USB connection on the Aries? Andy
  7. Thanks Eric. Really interesting idea. I will check it out. I wonder if all of the USB inputs are 3.0 compatible.
  8. Recently, my 2009 Mac Mini's hard drive died and I decided to buy a new Mini. I purchased the i5 model and upgraded the RAM to 16GB. I am still using the factory hard drive. My music is on a firewire connected external hd. I am running Audirvana 1.5.10. I have set the Mini up with all of the same settings as I used before. What I am hearing is that for some unknown reason the signal output from the new Mini is much higher than my previous model. In other words, my system is playing louder at the same volume setting. I have the "sound check" option in iTunes disabled, yet it sounds as though all of the music is dynamically compressed, like I am listening to a "high-end AM radio." Very strange. Does anyone have any ideas about what I might look at to fix this issue? Do newer models of the Mini have higher outputs? Thanks for your help.
