    IMac vs Macbook(air/pro) for source

    Thinking about getting a dedicated computer to hook up to my Yggy/Woo Audio WA 5 LE and eventual Stratus. Using iTunes/audirvana with USB with Wyrd and Regen as well as a thunderbolt external drive to house the music. Any difference using either an iMac vs an Apple laptop as a source?

    Very confused: what sample rate to set my DAC to.

    Just got my first headphone amp + DAC about a month ago, a Woo Audio WA5-LE and the matching WDS-1 DAC.  Presently, my source is my MacMini running iTunes with 99% of the music ripped from my redbook CD collection into ALAC format which turns out to be 44 KHz/16 bit.   The Woo manual instructs...

    Very, very basic question about DAC and amp connection.

    I am thinking of getting 2 different headphone amps on the same rack for listening variability.  Do I need a separate DAC for each amp?     If I use my Mac mini /iTunes as the source connected to the DAC (either by USB or optical) can I hook up multiple output connections from the DAC's RCA...

    Where to get "sensibly" priced but well performing interconnects and power cords?

    I just bought my first high end headphone (2nd gen Beyerdynamic T5p) from Mike at Woo Audio and am planning on getting  Woo's WA22 balanced headphone amp and WDS-1 DAC.  Eventually, I plan on getting their WTP-1 CD player as well.   I was recommended the Nordost power cords and XLR...

    How is the Cypher Lab Theorem 720 + Mr. Speakers Cypher C combo?

    Thanks for the feedback on my other and first thread yesterday.  New to high end audio from a headphone perspective.   I don't have any close places to try audiophile grade products but think I narrowed the portable amp/closed headphone to the set listed above.   Any feedback or other...

    Looking for a portable amp/DAC for Ether C headphones (iPhone source)

    New here but have read many threads and would like some advice.   Home system now is Mcintosh amp/preamp with Sonus Faber Cremora speakers.   Travel now with iPhone 6 using old Sennheiser IE8 with ACS molded earbuds.   I'm thinking I need over the ear headphones for plane travel so have...
