Computer Audio Gone Crazy..

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Dedicated Apple Mac Mini controlled by a MacBook Air over Ethernet via Screen Sharing.

Mac Mini (WiFi and BlueTooth disabled in hardware) in the main system streaming TIDAL via Ethernet, configured for AirPlay and sending the stream out onto the home network via Ethernet to the WiFi hub to an Airport Express next to my chair in the living room one floor below. From the Airport Express to my Audio-GD Master 11 DAC/Headphone amp via Lifatec SilFlex Glass Optisilk mini-TOSLINK cable.

No USB Doodads or Dookickies in the chain anywhere, which is a bit of a disappointment.

And yet, it sounds a lot better than I thought it would.

Also streamed some CD rips stored on the Thunderbolt drive attached to the Mac Mini, sounds GREAT!

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
