What were they thinking with the constantly colour-shifting light around the knob? That *really* puts me off the amp. It would be nice if any of the following was true: 1. you could disable the illumination (easily/without modding) 2. it was a single colour 3. if you could select a colour...

re: DIO 2448 Not a bad card, just watch OS/driver compatibility. I don't believe there are drivers for this card beyond Win2K. Unless you download OEM type drivers for the chipset on it. And even then I think you lose out on some of the functionality. Better if you are in the market for...

Woo, I just joined "Team Clamp" ! I should have done that ages ago. $5 bucks, no fuss, no muss. Thanks Canadian Tire!

Based on what you indicated, it sounds like that cable would work fine. Interesting that the Micro DAC will do either digital medium (optical/coax)... wish Apple's Airport Express did that. One option though that may help is that you can use any existing Digital Coaxial cable you may own...

I've been very pleased with the Logitech Z-4, so much that I bought 2 sets. Black http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...ONTENTID=10937 White http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...ONTENTID=10877 You generally pay a premium for the white model. You CAN get the black Z4 at...

Control-L does exactly what you want. I use it all the time. This is a shortcut to "File menu - Show Current Song" if you prefer clicking on menus... (And not only does it show the current song, but it shows it in the context in which you were playing it.) This works under iTunes 6.x...

Ok, so if you know *anything* about PC cases or accessories, you've heard of SilverStone (http://www.silverstonetek.com). If not... well here's your introduction... they rock. I was just surfing their site for the millionth time and stumbled over some blurb about a new USB-DAC they are...

You might also try it with another computer if you have access to one. Or some other device that has a USB port (I'm trying to think of what you might have, but drawing a blank...) Or try another USB cable. Or if you have onboard USB + PCI/PCMCIA USB, then try alternating between the two of...

I can't think of anyone who would recommend NOT using it, *IF* you are going to use iTunes to import your music. But that said, I think most people would probably recommend you use something OTHER than iTunes to do the audio extraction. eg. EAC (Exact Audio Copy)...

Don Quichotte, been following your posts closely since I've been lurking on the edge of getting a MiniDAC myself now for some time. So please keep posting away. I'm glad you are enjoying it. :-) I wonder how the MiniDAC would work if you attempted to use the USB output to feed a device OTHER...

http://www.apogeedigital.com/pdf/minidac_usersguide.pdf Page 22. So this is an Apogee-approved end-user operation, you won't be voiding your warranty. There are a few other cases where they require you to open up the unit - eg. change jumper re: variable output - eg. adjust trimpots

Batten down your wallets everyone! Storm warning!
