Streamers - Cambridge Audio CXN (V2) or Blue Node 2i
@midareff1.. My first gen Rega DAC died about a month ago.  I bought the CXN V2 last week.  All I can say is wow!  It sounds amazing right out of the box.  Way better than my Rega DAC ever sounded.  Not sure if it has a break-in period or not?  Ca... 
Grado Stylus Upgrade
Thanks for all the advise. 
Any word from anyone on AudiogoN about the new Rega Apollo R CDP?
Highly recommend going with the Rega DAC i/o their CD players. The DAC is pretty much the same price as the new Apollo R..but does so much more. There's just no need for the Apollo R or Saturn. Haven't heard the new Apollo, but the DAC(with my Mac... 
Is Pure Music 1.8 better?
just updated to PM 1.8, it does sound better than 1.74. What does integer mode do? Thanks.-Lang 
Pure music glitch?
@Streetdaddy - I've been using PM for a few months now. I was having those same issues. PM won't play the next song if you're ripping CD's to ITunes, or doing any kind of 'tinkering' in ITunes. For some reason, it stops play after the current trac... 
MAC MINI as Music Server?
Thanks to all! Good advise. 
Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup?
I bought the Rega DAC a few weeks ago. It was a huge upgrade over my Rotel CDP. I'm loving it. Some say it rivals the Rega Saturn, but for way less $$$ 
Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me??

Hififile - How did you rip your music? Did you rip with Itunes? LossLess or AIFF? What settings do you use in PM? Just trying to get everyone's thoughts here. -- Can't wait to get my Mac Mini and get PM running!

Pure Music people - What are the best settings/Pref for CD's I ripped to apple lossless? I have the Rega DAC that allows a pretty high sample rate. Do I change the PM settings to a higher sample rate? Or should you only do this with HD/Hi Rez file... 
New Rega DAC
I should give an update to be clear about the ATV 1 sound through the DAC Vs. CDP through the DAC. I re-ripped all my CD's as Apple Lossless then re-synced to ATV. Now the Apple TV sounds as good or better than the CDP. This is a great setup! 
New Rega DAC
Got it, thanks Johsti. 
Pure Music Question
Got it, thanks Agear. Might have to wait on this until I upgrade to the mini mac.
