But it can play DSD files!!! And it has a control app!! Plus it is a great value: "A Mac Mini with monitor, keyboard, mouse, and external drives attached to the MyTek Stereo192 DAC runs over $2500, and if you use better quality cables the price could go substantially higher. Even the Sonos ZP100/ Mytek Stereo192 front end costs around $2300 when you include a NAS drive. For $1999 the Sony HAP-Z1ES supplies the computer, hard drive, DAC, and app to run it all." Did I mention that it plays DSD files? :) ;) Living Rm: Transporter-SimAudio pre/power amps-Vandersteen 3A Sign. & sub Home Theater: Touch-Marantz HTR-Energy Veritas 2.1 & Linn sub Computer Rm: Touch-Headroom Desktop w/DAC-Aragon amp-Energy Veritas 2.1 & Energy sub Bedroom: Touch-HR Desktop w/DAC-Audio Refinement amp-Energy Veritas 2.0 Guest Rm: Duet-Sony soundbar Garage: SB3-JVC compact system Controls: iPeng; SB Controller; Moose & Muso Server: SBS on dedicated windows 7 computer w/2 Drobos 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101003 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
