    Dragonfly Red vs Any DAP

    Thanks. I found that the DFR does not sound as good connected to my iPhone as. It does connected to my Mac Book. How about compared to the Cayin N5ii SE output? I don’t have balanced Headphones.

    Dragonfly Red vs Any DAP

    I use a DFR with my Mac Book at night near my bed. Sounds great. However I would like a smaller form solution. Can I expect equal or better sound from a quality DAP.

    Itunes - Problems with ripping.....

    I've ripped more than 150 CDs so far and have had no problems. I rip to ALAC. My CDs are in excellent condition and I make sure that ITunes Error checking is always on. I think you need to use a different CD drive. Itunes is not your problem.

    itunes/Windows 7 and WASAPI

    I've read that you can select WASAPI in the Quicktimes Preferences in the latest version of iTunes when running under Vista. Is this option available when running Windows 7-32bit and Windows 7-64 bit? Some had said that it was not avaialble for selection in Win 7-64 bit.
