Laptop -> Digital transport ( hiface etc..) -> DAC -> yada yada. Software -> Jriver/Itunes(mac) + pure music etc. Laptop depends on your platform of interest - mac or pc? Dac - depends on budget and sound you're after. Amp - same.. Speakers - same... You have to give more information with regards to your requirements so that more advice can be given. It is very vague at best.

iATKOS v7 found that you could do it, wonder if it'll be the same with native mac or will it be an mess... anyone tried?

The stock power cable is horrible. If you changed to a better one, the improvements will make you keep it for good haha

nettop is great but not robust.. http://www.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?sku=167 4x hdd hotswop with a chance to have a full fledge server working inside yet it's cool and quiet enough with a mini itx. Just dump in a pci card.

Please don't tell me you're using stock power cords for the Ref7.

Yes I think the high res vinyl rips are so much better investment compared to CD or upsamples 16/44.1 It is the perfect mate of analog and digital. Instead of having either or...

okay then i shall ask in detail.. would a tradition route be advisable or a USB turntable be enough?

As above.

Let's look at this way.. Video..black is black, white is white..image artifacts and image sharpness can have a definitive guide.. Everyone can see it for themselves and by market forces, vote with their wallets.. With audio, what do you have to reference? So implementation is going to very very iffy..everyone can claim they are the best..but that's subjected on how they wish to percieve it the way they percieve a good alogarithm is for scaling. I'm not discounting the fact that there is maybe some unspoken standard..

The idea is good but the implementation can be bad. imho it depends on the sonic craftsman and how the end product is.

That's something i've been trying to explore but not definitive guide/discussion or even some tutorial to reference. Seems like the linux guys are quite fragmented in this area which makes it quite annoying..

The annoying this is this..<br /> It's made in asia but not in the asian market.<br /> <br /> How annoying.

comm'on chris wrote a review and that's his decision.<br /> <br /> Fair or not fair..well if you felt it was represented wrongly, you can always create your own site and write your own review.<br /> <br /> give it a rest already.. any comments now trying to defend the hiface only makes it sound it's from a religious zealot.
