PC with Apple Lossless via USB to DAC Magic, then Merlin Mozart to Rotel RA-1520 feeding some B&W 683's. Also have a PS3 connected via a Chord Optichord to the DAC Magic, I really can't tell the difference between the two I love the sound equally as much from either. The convenience of using the Remote App on the iPhone makes the computer the favourite.
I've tried Orb and Windows Media sharing to stream music to the PS3 but much prefer using the iPhone remote.
I've ordered a S/PDIF lead as my computer motherboard supports it so will soon be trying a Coaxial from the PC to the DAC, S/PDIF lead £4 and 5m coaxial £10. I just can't stop throwing money around.....!!!
Hi bezza79,
you're using iTunes on a pc, via USB cable, into Dacmagic, right? How then are you using iPhone Remote App?? I was under impression that Remote App only worked in conjunction with Airport Express!?
And i'd recommend for your set-up, Wireworld Ultraviolet USB cable. I've had/having amazing results with this cable(sorry, anti-cable people...)
Finally, if you haven't already, you really should try Foobar 2000 with the WASAPI plugin(thank you, PJPro). Via USB cable on a pc, it wipes the floor with iTunes, sq wise!
