Is it because you want to be the one who gets to lose the most money on RSA amp value, so you got in on the drop early?

Around a grand, which is cheaper than other comparable dac only solutions, apparently

That's how I store my dvds. I have 2 drawer boxes from ikea that we've stained, and use the tyvek sleeves. I store the boxes in my basement. I store my cds on the mac, tho . mod edit: rehosted the cdbinder.com image. Their certificate expired and I was getting a warning every time I clicked this thread

coupon codes from shopnbc: save10 = $10 off $199 or more save20 = $20 off $299 or more save40 = $40 off $499 or more save80 = $80 off $999 or more

It's got a reportedly great ADC section, so yes.

ADC quality matters more than DAC quality, because ADC quality lasts forever Get a mac mini and a duet, and you're good for needle drops and playback.

Ommegang tries, as does dogfish head.

I much prefer beer, but can't afford the good stuff for the most part. Not to mention they've made it a lot harder since Afflgem and Koenigs Hoeven have both gotten hard to get.

Liquor is much cheaper than the beer I drink Small producer belgians are spectacular, but at $12 a bottle...

Airfoil rather. But I'm a big fan of itunes anyway. I've tried most other music management suites, and I still always go back to itunes.

HDTV sells slightly better than high quality soundsystems tho...

Pico is more portable, more flexible, and probably has a better headamp. Duet has an ADC, firewire, mac only, can't be used stand-alone.

Sorry, was thinking mini. The cubes are old as shit, and have collectors value. Not a plan for htpc.

Yes, even a 1st gen g4 mini is more than enough computer to use with the duet for music serving. You should be able to score a g4 mini for under $300. Another $200 for a 750gb drive ,and you have one hell of a music server for $1000.

You can make ringtones with garage band and with itunes now for free, no hacks required.

My way around THAT was mac mini

It's useful if you already have an ipod, and your computer can't conveniently be put near your stereo. Especially if it turns out to sound good.

No, the advantage of a 5.1 or 7.1 system is you don't have to have the perfect room with the perfect treatments and perfect speakers and perfect amp to get a seriously fucking immersive experience. Yes, if you have complete control over your listening environment, you can do better with your entire budget in the 2 channels. If you don't, surround is better. And given an unlimited budget, surround is better.

mike, send me the duet to demo

I'd say that entirely depends on what you're feeding it with, what headphones you're using, and the volumes you listen at.
