Interesting article in the german Stereo magazine of Dec. 2007 (the latest) - they tested a bunch of rippers and found iTunes to sound the best. I just put it there as they say it. I thought they are a very reputable magazine. So? -- Audiotic MacMini CoreDuo, 300 GB of ALAC music (iTunes ripped) -> Black Transporter (via analog & digital out) & HK DVD47 for SACD + DVD-A, via Siltech Paris to Harman Kardon AVR 8500 & HK PA2200 Signature -> Mission 782 plus 4 x Mission 780SE & 78C & REL Strata III ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audiotic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5912 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33955 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
