No, you are not stupid at all. The Apple TV rivals good CD transports when setup correctly. Make sure the setting are right on the ATV/iTunes, import using Apple Lossless or AIFF and use a good DAC. A nice polished glass toslink optical cable is also a good idea, like the VanDenHul, WireWorld or Siltec.
Am I nuts or what? Apple TV
By sheer luck, I have been given the opportunity to acquire an unbelievable system on a barter deal. I am getting Martin Logan Summit speakers, Jeff Rowland Model 312 amp, BAT Rex preamp, Shunyata Hydra 8 power conditioner, and an assortment of Nordost Valhalla interconnects and power cords. Since I am totally new to the audiophile scene, I'm not sure I understand just how good this system may be. I assume that all the components would be termed "Class A" under a Stereophile type rating.
I need to buy a transport system. I have purchased an Apple TV and am considering the Eastern Electric Tube DAC. Am I just stupid to try and use those components with the above described system?
Thanks for your input.
