.Sidssp... what player would you recommend for Mac OS X.5.4? If, for example, some of the Linn hi-res formats don't allow iTunes to play them.The information and leads provided in the group is very interesting and appreciated!Ed.

Computer output to DAC, which route?
.Cerrot,Several USB DACs have their own independent power supply. For example, the Ultra Fi iRoc asych DAC takes care of the power supply "problem" you "identify" and its own power supply. On the other hand,many serious technical and audio-experie...

Will a new DAC make an improvement in sound?
Ehider,It's hard to believe that Larry will have in production something better than the iRoc... with the right USB cable and computer (MacMini... yeah!) and components and speakers and cabling between them, the iRoc is just stunning. The iRoc mak... 
iTouch-MacMini w/ Mocha VNC lite & Chicken of VNC
I finally figured it out. COVNC is *not* needed. The Apple X.5.4 OS with its sharing correctly configured takes care of the connection with the iTouch through Mocha VNC lite just fine. The Mocha people are great. A big public thanks to them for th...
