In playing 16/44 Apple Lossless files, from MacBook Pro 13 (Lion), I am getting good results from Grace m903 usb1, with indicated sample rate of 44. In trying U2, I believe sample rate indicator began showing 192 on the Grace, instead of the source rate of 44. Is this expected for the U2 setting, and could I expect U2 sound quality to equal or best the USB 1 when playing 16/44 files from CDs? Thanks

MacBook Pro 13--Lion--Background services running?
D Tilley replied to D Tilley's topic in General Forum
Basic Lion 10.7.2 advice needed--to use MacBook 13 as music server only. Thanks -
Is there a source of info for background services or programs that might be running (and disabled) on a new MacBook Pro 13 -Lion 10.7.2 ? Thanks-- ps -any antivirus, firewall-type stuff built-in?--this computer is for music play only, with occasional MOG (thru Chrome) use. Getting good results (no dropouts, excellent SQ) with Itunes/ALAC and Grace m903.

Hi--using new MacBook pro 13 and Itunes (ALAC files), any predictions or recommendation about what to try 1st? USB vs V-Link with coax (or toslink) -to IDAC. Thank You

Thanks--am using Lion with Itunes 10.5 for now--excellent thru Grace m903 (usb1). Will need to try add-on software player if I build a hi-res collection?? I have multiple CDs ripped to ALAC, so am very happy right now. PS--I believe the rear USB port on new MacBook Pro (13) is the un-cluttered one.

Would like to order 13" Macbook Pro--probably for Pure Music or Amarra-- Do I need to look for used laptop to get Snow Leopard, and wait a while on Lion, or can prior OS be installed over Lion? Thanks

If playGo converts to 24/96 for wireless transmission, how does this affect reproduction of source material in 1. 24/88 and 2. 16-bit ? Anything expected to be audible to the average person? Thanks

Temporarily used Vlink for ease with 10'USB cable length, (need 15-16' from where I am). Bought Grace for/as remote control headphone amp (have other DACs). Just experimenting with an old Windows laptop (win7 installed) and players such as Foobar, JRiver, and Itunes to see if I can figure out enough settings to make it work. Using Grace to experiment, since indicates sample rate. I am newcomer to the computer part of it (usually play CDs-optical to DACs, etc). Considering dedicated computer/server. Thanks

Hello--I have printed out a USB report, and would like to know if it means that all 4 of my USB ports will act identically (using V-link to Grace m903). They show up at loc61, 62, 63, and 64, assuming that my report is viewable. I'd like to know before exploring software/player issues. Getting great sound, but occasional quick drop-out. Thanks

Does the Cantata Music Center buffer a CD into memory as/before it plays, and should it matter? (I assume it might play a disc in real time?) Thanks

Any experience with difference in sound level with different cables between DAC and AMPs? Have Crimson music wire (12') from DAC to Amp and need to add a parallel pair from a different source (ordered Oppo 95) to Amp. Received a pair of Mogami Gold (12') for 2nd source-- Any predictions? Should I expect similar voltage/resistance/dB level from the Crimson and Mogami? Guess I should A/B both cables with current DAC (and sound-level meter) before OPPO arrives. Would do this anyway, for Sound Quality, but I'm OWT (old, with tinnitus). Thank You

Can someone give a rough idea of expected analog-out SQ on a Marantz DR-700 (CD Recorder)circa 1998? Unit is barely-used, looks new. I can use digital-out to DAC, but had no idea of the inner, built-in dac situation in 1998, and am not a golden-ear. Thank You

Could I get some info on what I am hearing thru (good) headphones, from a new HP laptop with Dolby Advanced Audio? Any info on frequency range, and what differences are involved vs. prior laptops--ie special sound card, etc? I was curious about freq range on (1)Streaming music from MOG service (MP3 ?) and (2) CDs ripped to Itunes--Apple Lossless. Thank You
