Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

+1 And not to criticize the OP Matt at audiogon: but.....

you can't build a "reference" system with a MAC mini IMO.

Seems to me that making an assumption that digital file playback with a commercial computer is somehow equal to SOTA TTs and SOTA CD/Universal players or transports/DACs is just silly.

I've never heard of anyone who owns an APL, DCS, Meitner, or Audio Aero say that they can get computer/digital file playback to get anywhere near them spinning CDs. Some of these people have the distinct advantage of running a highly modified and upgraded commercial PC directly into their transport/DAC creating an excellent and easy A/B test.

Cheers,

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
