  1. Rip your music to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder on the server, then whoever takes control of the library the next time will automatically import the files into the shared library.
  2. When looking at the specs for the PSB speakers, they are rated for 20 - 200 wpc, with a impedance of 6 ohm and a sensitivity of 91db. They are fairly easily driven, but your NAD amplifier is rated for a MAXIMUM output of 50/wpc in either 8 or 4 ohm. You would benefit from a juicer amplifier. This might not be the solution to all your problems but it seems to me that your NAD is a little to underpowered for the PBS. I would not recommend you to spend any more $ on cables and such until you resolved this. Furthermore you would be amazed what buying power you'll have buying used equipment on Audiogon.

  4. Interesting article over at xiph.org. http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html
  5. Look at it this way: 1 HD - No backup 2 HD's - image is spread over 2 HD's, being equal (1/2 on every drive) 3 HD's - 1/3 of the image is on every drive, you loose one, you still have backups 4 HD's - 1/4 of the image is on every drive and so on. Every time you add a HD the image will increase, or when you add bigger drives. You ALWAYS loose about one HD, this is the REDUNDANT DRIVE. Hope this helps, there are a lot of people with with better explanations, but this one worked for me. Regards,
  6. Post it here, link & sell it on Audiogon?
  7. Hi Chris,<br /> Excellent review, to bad the WiFi option weren't possible.<br /> However; I'm considering a purchase of the Arcam rDAC, but choice of input is something to be decided so my question is; would the rDAC benefit to be used with the Halide Design's The Bridge, or would this just be overkill? I'm fairly new to all of this and I'm struggling to find all the info needed for my set-up.<br /> <br /> Anyone?<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
  8. Hi everyone, this will be my first post but not last.... OK, I'm totally confused about the necessity reg. an outboard DAC! Currently I have a 2011 mac mini (latest model) that I use with Pure Music trough HDMI output to my Integra DHC 80.2. The Integra's DAC is 32/384, so it's more than capable to receive the signal coming from the mini, and it's from what i understand a really good DAC. iTunes library is stored on a Firewire Drobo. My question is: will I still need an outboard USB DAC to get the best quality possible, even when there are raving reviews regarding the digital input's on the Integra? • If so, why? • Are there any limitations on the HDMI output? • Can I use the toslink on the mac for good quality? Regards, Tommy Hoglund Current setup: Mac Mini -> Integra DHC 80.2 -> Krell KAV 500 -> Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M
