It is sad but I'm over it . I have bought a few used Mac mini servers cheap with 1 gb hard drives to feed async Dacs directly . I'm using vnc to control the macmini. With this setup ,I never have to worry about a streamer not being able to play a music service either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jimmypowder's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61215 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
