Thanks Chebby, much appreciated.

Hi all, I am trying to upload by itunes collection to my iphone but cannot upload all due to the fact that my collection is stored locally in AIFF. Does anyone have any experience of how to sync this to the iphone in MP3? Thanks, Tim

Thank you all for your helpful advice and comments. I will digest a lot of what you have suggested over the coming weeks, while uploading the rest of my cd collection to my server! I think my next step is to buy a 24/96 album from somewhere like HDTracks and have the same album in CD. I will...

Thanks Craig, it's a Buffalo Terastation. I am happy to rely on the ATV for wireless video streaming as this seems as good as my bluray player through my 1080p samsung TV. Any help to deliver true hd audio to my DAC is much appreciated - even though by the sounds of things there may be no real...

I've used trial-versions of some of the bolt-on apps like Amarra and Pure Music, both of which could play FLAC (I think!) and AIFF, but they both still use iTunes as a front-end. So probably that's a no! Not on a Mac at any rate. I found it futile to fight against the flow and I just use iTunes...

Thanks MajorFubar. I don't see the need (in my case) for the HRT as I have a DAC which will handle the conversion for me. I think the main gist I am getting is that the only solution for true HD audio is hardwiring. I take it a MacBook Air would do the trick and also provide a nice easy to...

I have the new Retina Display MBP so no optical to go to the DAC, USB only - which is no problem, however, doesn't help my wireless issues :( Do you know if a dedicated Apple Mini would solve my problems, and still mean I could control everything from the MBP wirelessly, but still enable HD...

I have made the recent leap to an Apple MacBook Pro from my old faithfull Dell laptop, with the clear intention of transferring my entire CD collection (1000+ CDs) to iTunes, and therefore seeking ultimate compatibility between Apple Hardware and Software. The basic setup is as follows: Router...

Thanks for the advice. Could I plug my existing Buffalo NAS by Ethernet to the AEX and use this (controlled by itunes on the mac) as the dedicated storage for my library in lossless, as the mac won't have sufficient storage?

It just takes too long to fire up, and I really don't think it's what I need, and probably too difficult to get to grips with with my technical knowledge (which I thought was pretty good till I began my recent audio adventure).

Thanks Overdose. For my needs I can't see that the NAS is suitable. It takes an age to fire up and is overly difficult to set up and use and I don't think it's really what I need. If I am looking for just storage of my music library, can I store these on an external hard drive and connect...

Hi all, looking for some advice please. I am about to buy a MacBook Pro (retina display) with a view to using my hifi system wirelessly and controlled through itunes, and with the ability to play ALAC and High Defininition Audio. I have just bought a Buffalo NAS which is causing me no end of...

Thanks for all the friendly advice everyone, much appreciated. :grin:

Hi all, looking for some advice please. I have just taken the plunge and bought a Buffalo Terastation NAS to store my itunes collection in lossless format. For convenience, I would like to avoid hard wiring my MacBook to my AudioLab MDAC but have concerns over loss of quality if I stream the...
