| Help with DAC Going nuts I'd recommend giving the Tranquility DAC a listen. I think dbaudiolabs has some for under $1000 previously owned but under lengthy warranty. They have a generous return policy if not satisfied. Eric Hider is extremely helpful.:) listening,Ed | |

Experiment with various power cords (give them time to settle in, don't A-B them back and forth like a s... | |

| Mac sound quality Some suggestions: don't use the power conditioner with the IMac; instead of an IMac, try a Mac mini... anything from 2007 forward, 2010 is the best for many reasons; also, instead of using your IMac HD, use a peripheral HD... a firewire connected ... | |
| Power Cord for $50 or less? In an earlier post I recommended the Volex 17604. Here's a relevant review in regard to the Volex as well as the iron lung jellyfish.This is a direct cut and paste from a "shoot-out" of PCs made in 5/19/2006 by Steve Hoffman. The number 15 refers ... | |
