  1. I agree 100% that the power around the house and in the system can be a detrimental part of a high fidelity setup. I have always conditioned my power on the analogue side, and have even done so on the MacMini just as a 'can't hurt' thing. My confusion lies more in how the 'bad power' could mess with a signal over USB. I can see the radiation problem, but again, that would effect the analogue components and not the USB signal surely? Either way, it's given me something to play around with, which can only be good for my hobby! Thanks guys, C
  2. Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. I am relatively new to the computer as a source, so this site is extremely useful. Do you think that the power supply of the source plays a big part in my set up given that my signal is effectively 1's and 0's going down a USB cable to my DAC, and not electrical impulses as such. Maybe I have this wrong? I tried my Mac Book Air this evening and heard absolutely no difference at all playing back identical files on the laptops battery from the SSD. All files downloaded from HDTracks and conveted to AIFF by the way... I am glad migrating from vinyl to digital looks set to keep feeding my OCD! Regards, C
  3. Variety is the spice of life! So two opposite findings here then? Very interesting... Again, it would seem implementation is bigger than the kit. The great thing here I guess is that as a hobby there is sure to be no end to the discussions and reading Thanks for sharing, C
  4. If we could not rely on compression technology to carry data around accurately we would have much more to worry about than soundstage... If Apple are lying when they say ALAC is a lossless technology, well that's a different story. If you hear differences between the two files, you should look at your system as a whole. My 2p... C
  5. Will it still be using a hardware lock? I would love to get it, but really dislike the dongle type things C
  6. ... a nice day out! Would love to visit that one day. I'm jealous ... Grats on the amp as well, I am sure you will enjoy it. C
  7. I like to listen to my music late at night and every time I use the iPad it just seems too bright to me. Any chance that an option to invert the colours could be implemented. Obviously not for the art work. Also, I add more than just the cover art to my files as I think the artwork is very important as well. I would love to be able to flick through the images for each album... I usually get the vinyl out for the art work! Love the app though. Would be a shame to loose it. C
