  1. They are vicious---luckily, all I bled was $$$$ ! The only cure is to go completely deaf. Best- DH
  2. Professor--develop and apply new molecular analysis systems to normal and cancer genomes--trying to realize personal genomics. Became audiophillic after my girl friend's stereo was ripped off--said I would buy her a new one; was bitten by an audiophillic vampire.......started buying good gear. Fascinated by the convergence of science and perception via audiophilia.
  3. Been listening to PM 1.8 through my Benchmark USB and TC Electronic Impact Twin DACs. Sounds great and integer mode sounds best. I'm wonderfully surprised when hearing Redbook CDs upsampled to 192 khz/24 bits through my TC Electronics DAC-- deep, beautiful, detailed, punchy... May beat out the Benchmark USB DAC. Anyone else listening PM 1.8 through the TC Electronics Impact Twin? Best- DH
  4. Hello Nhih007- I bought a Behringer FCA202 from Amazon for about $80. It's a Firewire ADC doing 96 Hz/24 bit. Works like a champ with my phono preamp, wired through my main preamp, feeding into my Mac via FW 400. This arrangement lets me adjust volume. The Behringer is wonderfully minimal, sporting no mic amps, bazillion inputs, etc. Although not 192 KHz, it definitely beats the internal ADC in my Mac. Highly recommended! Also recommend Audacity for recording your music--it does AIFF outputs, easily imported into iTunes. My wife and I actually prefer these vinyl transfers over purchased CD versions--did the comparisons--they are about 90% as involving as their vinyl originals, but possibly more fun. Enjoy! Best DH
  5. Been also trying to find such ADC rigs. The Furutech looks interesting, but I'm doubtful that it will top my current, cheap setup. Right now, I'm using my Mac to digitize vinyl albums (24 bit, 96 khz) through Audacity and Pure Vinyl 3.0. They sound okay, but think I could do better. Been making tracks using Roxio's Spin Doctor, since I can't get PV to edit hi-rez files. Has anyone actually used the Furutech GT40? First time on this site--fantastic stuff here!!! doublehelix
  6. Thank you for your quick response. I've enabled the iTunes app with my computer and it nicely finds my music libraries, but only when I have iTunes set to send files remotely via WiFi, like to my stereo. There, Airport Express is connected to my DAC via Toslink. This really works well! I think I may need to play with iTunes settings..... ?????? Best- DH
  7. Hi all- Just hooked up may Apple laptop to my DAC, via USB, and tried using the iTunes remote app on my phone to select music. I'm able to make this all work using my Airport express connection via WiFi....does anyone know how to make the iTunes remote operate when you've interfaced your computer to a DAC via USB? Meanwhile, I've been using Apple's FrontRow and the supplied remote--very nice.... Cheers- DH
