I've dealt with Neal at Sound Science and heard Music Vault in a friend's system. It sounded amazing (this friend had some incredible gear, and sold off his $10,000+ CD Player to get the MV). Neal is a great person, very knowledgeable, and very honest. Give him a call and tell him what you want to do with your system; he won't lead you astray.
Music Vault Server
Presently I have my CD's loaded on my ipod via itunes ripped in Apple lossless and some HD tracks on my laptop which I play into my Peachtree idac. I want to combine these libraries into a server. I have been looking at the Music Vault servers. I was considering the Mach2Sever but prefer a more turn key approach. Has anyone had experience with the Music Vault? I will probably have to re-rip the CDs from ALAC to another codec? Any thoughts on this setup?
