rather than see this devolve into mac-pc blah, blah, blah. Cant we simply understand this is a mac only product like the many other products that are pc only. If you are a pc only user well this is one product you cant enjoy but at least you have many other products that are pc compliant.

Maybe the way to look at this is whether it's worthwhile to buy a Duet and mac mini to replace your $1000 + source. If the mac/Duet is better to your ears than whatever source you have and $1000 is a reasonalble upgrade than go for it. You get a great computer in the bargain.

Reminds me of the posts when the 1G iPod was Mac only and PC owners thought they 'deserved it'. Man if you only knew what it was like being a Mac user.
And why are there so many computer source threads in the dedicated source forum?

a couple of questions for those of you who have these units:
jp11801...you mentioned in the opening post the overt brightness and sibilance on a Van Halen track. does this glare or harshness appear often in listening sessions, or is it just limited to a few bad recordings?
tyrion...when you get your Pico, would you mind trying it out as a source (volume matched in the same system) and share your impressions A-B'd against the Duet?

Pico arrived today. I will try to get it the big rig tomorrow night, if I'm home. Otherwise, it will be Friday night.

this required a trip to radio shack and the purchase of 1/4 monoto rca convertor plugs. At som point I am going to reterm my rca to 1/4 mono to skip this
