I'm very glad to have an on the fly keybord press for the computer music player I use. Most recordings, on my system, have a definite preference for one or the other 0/inverted phase. As my system has gotten better I find myself switching absolute phase more often. Sometimes there's not much of a difference, sometimes there is a big difference... very recording dependent.

How To Connect! The Absolute Best Way!
SeVeReD replied to roccoriley's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
I'm using a Fireface 800 to go out to a Stello DAC while I wait for PeterSt to develop his new DAC. The Stello DAC has a USB interface, but SQ varied too much with type of usb cable/usb port out from the computer. Also the Stello accepts 24/96 into its coax, but not usb. Using firewire out to the Fireface has been very stable for me. I like that it's outside of the case; I like that it's firewire; I like that it passes hires material untouched. -
If I use it with firewire, would it daisy chain with the WesternDigital Mybooks? I assume it would, but do you know for sure... ya, that would be better ... I have a lot of music hehe I guess it would have it's own raid manager that would load up.

It really does sound like the way to go in his situation. I'm just unfamiliar with NAS storage and how well it works, (I know what I have going on works, but I'm always looking for better...)<br /> <br /> For me personally, since my computer is in a closet opposite the wall of the music room (drilled holes through the wall carry the analog RCAs from the Pass Labs Xover; i use it like a preamp) I don't have to worry about HDD noise. My only thoughts are about music presentation/quality, so<br /> I wonder if shutting off the FW would be "easier" on the computer or if the nas on the network would be...course I'd have to enable the lan full time hehe<br /> yeppers you've got a crazy one here. <br /> <br /> thanks again.

I'm about to duplicate for a friend what I've got going on for myself. See my sig. for front end of system. At the moment I use Western Digital Mybook Premium Edition IIs (2TB a piece; usually about $400. each) daisy chained through firewire 800. I don't care to much about speed of pulling my WAV/CUE file off the HDD because I use XXHighEnd as a player and it loads the entire album into RAM before it starts to play it...I don't like to have other programs running when listening to music and I don't like having wireless stuff going, so,..(ok, ya I think it can interfer with the presentation).<br /> My question about NAS<br /> Does it show up like regular HDDs in MyComputer, or do I have to have another program running to access the HDDs on the lan.... I do all my back up manually and keep backup discs offsite... so I only need to run raid 0. so, how do I pull the files off the HDD with a nas? Can I see them with Explorer going to network places probably? noob
