  1. @Mark, While waiting for a clear path to computer audio heaven for my main system, I have done exactly this for 18 months for my family-room background music system, and it has worked beautifully. ATV-1 ---> Glass Toslink ---> Peachtree iDecco ---> Peachtree Design 5s. Managed w/ iTunes on PC over wired Ethernet. Simple and because of the HD in the ATV1, does not require that your computer be running. Check this re-posting of Paul's notes on the subject from an old PS Audio newsletter: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=58138.0
  2. In this 4/21/11 post: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Grace-Design-m903-Async-USB-192k#comment-79114, under the heading of "OSX and m903" you spoke about problems with white noise when switching sample rates. I would be very interested to learn about your experience with this problem since that time, with OSX, Windows, and (if you have tried it) Linux and MPD. The feature set of the m903 really appeals to me, but based on your earlier post, I'm worried about "blown tweeters" Thanks...
  3. Chris,<br /> <br /> As you move forward with these upcoming reviews, I hope you will consider the suggestion for review content I made in this post:<br /> http://www.computeraudiophile.com/blown-tweeters#comment-91192<br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> <br />
  4. Chris,<br /> <br /> Thanks for raising the important subject of "blown tweeters", which is of central concern to me as I select a hi-res rig to replace the Theta Miles CD player listed below.<br /> <br /> I encourage you, during each product review, to comment on the observed propensity of the product under review to cause or react badly to loss of sync, white noise, or clicks/pops etc. <br /> <br /> For example, I am very interested in the Grace m903 as a possible DAC for use with some sort of Linux server, such as Sonore, Auraliti, or maybe Salk. But this post http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Grace-Design-m903-Async-USB-192k#comment-79114 warned of loss of sync under OSX: <i>" I did refer this problem to Grace Design and they were helpful in trouble shooting this problem, however, the muting of when the sampling rate was changed under OSX was out of their control, and their hands are washed from this matter. Muting is a breeze for other DACs if there is a loss of sync or the SR changes , I don’t see why Grace Design doesn’t follow, and tweeters are not cheap!"</i> When your review is released, I very much want to learn whether this problem is confined to the USB interface and whether it can be avoided by using MPD on one of the Linux servers above. <br /> <br /> Further, most of the thread above seems to suggest that the risk is mainly under Windows and not much under OSX. But what about Linux and MPD? As MPD solutions gain popularity, this question gains importance.<br /> <br /> Thanks for helping to shape this messy, new field!<br />
