Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

With a high resolution system the benefits of lossless bit perfect audio are clear and apparent. There are many software routes to achieve this, glad that others find the same benefits, for me an eye opener when you get the front end right.
Mana Acoustics Racks / Bright Star IsoNodes Decoupling >> Allo DigiOne Player >> Pedja Rogic's Audial Model S DAC + Pioneer PL-71 turntable / Vista Audio phono-1 mk II / Denon PCL-5 headshell / Reson Reca >> LFD DLS >> LFD PA2M (SE) >> Royd RR3s.
Trying to find the best lossless bit perfect front end it more complex than putting together a turntable,tonearm and cartridge! There are so many options and methods of supplying your DAC with a high quality signal. The DAC is the fairly easy bit. It is everything that a happens before this that needs thought and careful application.
As I mentioned before I am going to try two established routes. A MacBook Pro running on battery and running Audirvana and an Innuos server/NAS/ CD ripper. These are two simple and fairly straightforward routes. It will be interesting which one delivers the goods!

Jimbo, before you buy your innuos server, if you can, give the Melco servers a listen. I have A/B'd those two in a demo and (to my ears) the Melco was far superior. In isolation I think I'd have been happy enough with the Innuos but being able to directly compare the two was very revealing. Mine is one of the first generation N1A's, they have released an updated version now which is supposed to be an upgrade. I haven't heard one though. I think the Melco looks nicer too.......which doesn't hurt the cause

Agreed it is relatively expensive. I got lucky and dropped on an ex demo unit that was significantly cheaper than the rrp. Good luck with your search.
