  1. To be used not as server - I will stream the music from WHS. I use this as a transport. Portable not a requirement - but small is good
  2. Hi Simple question. Assume Mini has SSD too (both 128GB) and both have 4GB. Which would you choose/recommend. Issues - Mini makes fan noise - will I hear it from accross the room running itunes and amarra - running 24hours. Issues - Air - need to keep lid open (cant use insomiax) slower CPU Ben
  3. Hi pac win I have a audio research dac 8 (will receive 176 192) A atlona 577 Sony bdp s770 Integra receiver 80.1 The audio research would register getting a 176 signal from sacd when receiving optical from the 577' but no sound. I had connected to a projector I then hooked up to the integra instead of the projector. Monitor out of the atlona Bingo!!, the holy grail, everything i through at it would work perfect sacd at 176 , Then, i swapped out a sacd, maybe switched something off, and back to no sound. I cant seem to repeat the setup to get the sound out, with integer or not. The must be a very specific routine, which i can't for the life of me replicate ,,,,,grrrrr Will let you know when if i do. This is like witchcraft...let me know how you go. It is possible, just not quite solved yet. By the way, sacd to the dac 8 at 176 sounded unbelievable, i played 5 sacd back to back no issue. Wonderful
  4. Chris I had one - returned it. I got it to go with a Audio Research Dac 8, Atlona 577. The idea was to put SACD through the Dac. VIA HDMI. HDMI BDPS-570 - Altona 577 - Audioresearch DAC 8 1: Playing Bluray and DVD-Audio - worked - the Atlona would find the PCM signal 192khz - and it was recognised by the Dac 8. 2: Playing SACD - the DAC 8 would recognize a 176 signal (great!) - but alas - I could not actually hear anything. 3: DVD-A, Directly from the BDPS-570, optical out, to the DAC 8. I "think" it lowered the signal to 44.1 for the DVD-A. So stripping it from the HDMI was best. Not sure about Bluray. If you don't have SACD's then get the Atlona and the BDPS570 is perfect. I had no issues with it except losing signal with my projector while swapping menu's - maybe a projector Atlona problem... If you do have SACD's - trial the BDPS- 770 when that comes out. I can't for the life of me understand why the DAC 8 would pick up a 176 signal from the SACD - (means it was converted from DSD - PCM) yet not play it.... maybe Sony protection or something.... any ideas? This doesn't really answer your question exactly - just my findings
  5. Finally - apple release remote for the iPad. Go have a look
