Yes, too true, Dennis! Some manufacturers are starting to bundle streamers, dacs and amplifiers together, but that isn't where I want to go (yet). The trouble for me is that I'm not sure spending...

Thanks, Paul.

I was doing things the same way for a while when my CDP was being serviced, but as soon as I got it back everything I played suddenly sounded much richer and fuller. I supposed...

Appreciate your detailed and candid response, Mike.

I suppose I don't need to use an internet connected router if I'm hooking up the NAS directly to a Windows mini computer, and can thereby...

After some weeks of mildly inquisitive study, I now believe I grasp the rudiments of what's required of a 'typical' system configuration if I want to house WAV/FLAC files (music) on an NAS, access...

Sorry to cause you such a shock, Colin! Despite the jumble-of-wire appearances, both mono-blocks are working fine so my preference is to keep them especially since I've now ascertained their...

Thanks, Neil, for your response. If you can, please tell more about your "Custom Silent Media Server" - it sounds intriguing!

Just for fun while here in the office on an overcast Saturday in Hong...

Yes, Dennis, after years of looking at that rather sleek exterior cabinet, I was surprised to see the jumble of wires inside. But I figured that a more discerning eye might understand the logic of...

Yikes, no comments?! Were the contents of the A100 too shocking?! (Hope not as I unplugged them before opening, :lol:)

Thank you, Grant. Was wondering why I was having trouble. :doh: Funny thing was the first couple of tries I saw no images in my reply, but at least for me in #24 above I still can see what I...

What pray tell do the contents reveal? Would you like to see the insides of the Pre-Amp? Or the Power Supply?

Yessir! Will go out and buy a set of Allen wrenches now, Colin. Photos on the way shortly (I hope). Thank you, Adrian

Hi Will, already went through the lonnnng pain of ripping over a 1000 CDs. Whew. Used a Mac Mini for that at home, with an external CD reader and hard disk, and used my PC at work, but with an...

Hi Will, sorry for being quiet. Have been on the road (trying to escape the small flats here in HK, lol!)

Yes, the music will be for one room only. I did make it to a few hi-fi stores to continue...

Thanks again, Will. It seems the more I learn the more complex the decision becomes! Ha, ha.

I went and looked at the iFi Nano line yesterday. Very petite and clearly that's a selling point...

Thanks very much, Will.

The pi3 route is enticing. BUT, have you and others pursued it for the novelty and cost/benefit factors, or does a pi3 coupled with the other IQ/CorePlayer/Audiophonics...

Output besides 3.5mm? Only Micro USB 2.0, but it seems I can get a third party LAN adapter. And it has Bluetooth, but that would mean loss in hi-fi quality, no?

Thank you all for your input. Good to see contrasting views. Storage here in HK is fairly cheap so I will go explore options at lunch today.

Surprisingly, no one has yet responded to my Question...

This may have already been addressed somewhere in Digital Expressions, and if it has, apologies ...

As a newbie to TAoS, and having read Welder's Ripping Guide with enthusiasm, and then Marco's...

Hi Luke,

I ripped them as ALAC, but have also avoided iTunes and simply downloaded to my Android tablet as FLAC. I suppose those are both acceptable formats, but am no expert. I figure with...

Thanks, Audio Al! What is Pishanto?

Pleased to join this Forum. Didn't know about it until I was searching around a bit about Magnum Audio and saw posts by Colin Wonfor, a most impressive fellow.

Originally from New York City, I've...
