  1. Love it - think is a great value - more classical music - but can't beat the quality and value.
  2. Koen, I've had the same issue -- using an external HD connected via FW800 - even tried couple different external HD's but got same result - also have given Fidelity feedback about this issue with similiar feedback. What I was having an issue with was this seemed to happen after song started, then you could move about in song with no sound - if go to previous song or next song, then return to same song wasn't an issue any longer...so something wierd is going on - I also had issue with saying that FW800 couldn't keep up -- most of my issues were with larger 24/96 ALAC files. I've also been having few issues when the advanced setting is checked (dedicated mode). Hoping both can at some point be fixed.
  3. Sounds like this is a "feature" of this product -- maybe the player I've been searching for. Just don't have the patience to work through bunch of "bugs" like with Amarra. Anxious to get more feedback from others about this product.
  4. about coreaudio, their product - anyone know how to get them in the loop in this discussion?
  5. Just trying to followup on source of this - heard couple comments about iTunes doing this but hadn't found any info to confirm.
  6. AppleTV and Airport Express - both same price - for the money I'd go with appletv - not sure about how these two devices compare relative to jitter - I have heard that the appletv does upsample 44 to 48 - same output as AE (toslink), but this output is only active if NOT using the hdmi out (in my case I used hdmi to tv, then toslink from tv out to DAC), works well, but tv must be on. The older appletv also has same issue, but it had component video out also which was active with toslink and analogue out... I went the appletv route just because it had more features than AE.
  7. just change the setting in the MIDI -- restart iTunes and play that file at different sample rates - not sure how iTunes resamples the files - but pretty sure it does? of course this makes it harder to do a A/B comparison as you have to back out of iTunes, make the change, then restart iTunes.
  8. I meant to say Theta Gen 8 - it has two analog inputs, but one is rca and one is xlr - so if SACD were balanced (xlr), and phono pre was unbalanced (rca) then this would also work. Another option is the Benchmark DAC/HDR - but it only has one set of analog inputs (rca) which obviously won't get you a phono pre and SACD (unless you only use the SACD player to play CD's, and then use it's digital out). Sure there are likely others out there. I'm pretty sure both of these keep the analog signals as is.
  9. Theta Gen VII Series 2 will accomplish this
