EAC Question for MacMini users running XP via Bootcamp
Any MacMini users running Windows XP as well via Bootcamp? XP runs great on the MacMini core duo, so I set up EAC to rip in secure mode to FLAC. However, the rip time estimates are inordinately long, like 60 minute+. yikes. On my X60 PC core duo laptop, it would take 7-10 minutes per CD...- JimP

Quick Mac question
Got a Mac Mini for christmas (wife's trying to convert me from XP). Interesting gadget, I've searched and googled a bit, and found COG and PLAY to play FLAC on the Mac. So far so good. How do I ensure bit perfect output with COG or PLAY? (I've found threads on iTunes, but don't really want to do...- JimP

Apogee minDAC
It's been well documented by others, but here's my new (to me) Apogee miniDAC. Really like it as a stand-alone unit (compared to DAC1USB), ie, using direct headphone out (pictured here with my K271S with RAL cable or XLR out direct to Oracle recabled HD580). Will have to do some longterm testing...- JimP

One more replacement cable question -- K271S balanced?
While there's tons of threads about running Senn650/600/580 balanced, I don't recall seeing any about AKG K271S being run balanced? Any one have experience with K271S balanced? I'm in the mode of tinkering with DAC1 or miniDAC direct out balanced these days. I really like the K271S as a...- JimP

Another HD650 replacement cable question...hardwire or not?
I recently acquired a HD580 hardwired to a 4 pin male XLR adaptor with a pigtail to 2x3 pin XLR balanced out. These sound great direct out of my DAC1 balanced (and also a mini-DAC). I can always get another pigtail to run single-ended if I want. I want to do same for my HD650. Question is...- JimP

0404 USB and ASIO question
As many have posted, the 0404USB is a fantastic 'bang-for-buck' item, with many uses. I enjoy straight headphone out while surfing the 'net, and am using it as a SPDIF conduit out to my DHA3000 dac/amp. The basic question I have is: Everytime I start my computer, I have to in Foobar...- JimP

DHA3000 (+L3000)
I prostrate myself at the altar of AT.... Honestly I have been getting a bit burnt out and cynical with this hobby lately, even quietly mulling just bailing out. But because I've stumbled on L3000s recently which I really like, I thought I'd roll the dice one last time with the DHA3000...- JimP

0404USB question (USB to SPDIF out)
I have been using 0404USB as DAC for one of my systems (great as many have acknowledged). I now want to use it as a conduit (from FLAC/laptop via USB) using SPDIF coax out to my DHA3000 (which is DAC/amp that takes SPDIF coax in). For the life of me, I cannot seem to get this work. Could...- JimP

Empirical Audio Turbo Mod for DAC1USB
Anyone actually have this done to his DAC1 or DAC1USB by Empirical Audio? Specifically the $700 headphone listening only mod option. That's a lot of money (at least for me) for a mod, but the concept is intriguing - one box ultimate solution. If anyone can opine as to their experience with this...- JimP

Question for L3000 owners...
Recently I acquired an L3000 in pristine condition. This has become my 'ultimate' headphone to settle into long-term (famous last words). While I honestly thought the PS-1 was incrementally better (at least for my taste in music - jazz, rock), I needed a closed phone solution with new baby, and...- JimP

Line out question for DAC1USB
My Benchmark DAC1USB is the cornerstone of my system(s), extremely happy with this product. I would like to run this out to multiple amps. What is better solution: 1. run RCA out to amp 1, and use an XLR to RCA converter simultaneously out to amp 2 (can this be done, any issues?) 2. get an...- JimP
