jb8312 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Folks, I have been lurking and leaning for the past serveral weeks, I couldn't have made the transition without all your help, whether you knew it or not... Since finding this place, here is what I have done: Purchased MacBook Purchase a Bel Canto USB Converter Purchased a LaCie 1TB Ext HD. So far, I have copied 25% of my 1000 plus CD..vai iTunes & Apple Lossless... I have connected the Bel Canto BNC (RCA Adapted) into my Cary 306 Pro's DAC and listened, in amazement, to the fantistic sound of computer audio through my Verity Audio Parisfal Ovations...and Pass X1 and, currently. Clayton Audio M300s.... Thanks again for all your help!

BEEMB Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Welcome Aboard ! And a great move you have made. How many users regularly post here now Chris ? I've noticed we all do tend to get caught up in certain threads and others slip by. It's because we're all geeks. HTPC: AMD Athlon 4850e, 4GB, Vista, BD/HD-DVD into -> ADM9.1 Link to comment
timbo Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I reckon this place is a bit like a big pub with lots of rooms, sometimes it takes me ages to find someone to buy me a pint!! :-) Tim. Tim.

jcbrum Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Another brave pioneer, well done, have you tried an Airport Express yet ? Regards JCBrum (MacBook pro, Aex, AVI various with sub) (and vintage Quad, Garrard 301, for 78 transcription 2 digital) Link to comment
tfarney Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Welcome John! I'm not only glad you're here, I'm glad you took the direct path: Mac>DAC>analog system. It the shortest distance between a CD collection and true audiophile computer sound. Tim I confess. I\'m an audiophool. Link to comment
