For those who may be interested, there's an interesting review of the Lavry DA10, Apogee Mini-DAC and Benchmark DAC1 in Sound on Sound magazine (January 2009). It may be downloaded for US$1.50 and contains some interesting information (for me at...

My iTunes defaults to the local library folder whenever my Macbook is turned off. I have to manually point it at the drive on my TimeCapsule once I have re-started. It then takes quite a while to re-load the library. A bit of an annoyanceAnybody know...

I've been testing an HDX for the last 3 weeks, and thanks to those who have helped me get set up. I thought I'd try to post an 'audio review' rather than focus on the technical stuff. I could not find a lot of people posting recently on sound...

Why does my HDX take such a variying amount of time to rip a disc? Is it doing a back up when first switched on-therefore more sluggish then? I get the impression it speeds up after two or three discs have been done (I'm working my way through my...

One on my iTunes rips had a skip so I thought I'd try EAC. Well blow me down, it did an accurate rip and replicated that skip, exactly where iTunes found it. It even reported the rip 100% error free.
