Hi All,
This is my first post even though I have been lurking for a while now, please go easy on me...
My current set up consists of the below,
B&W 602 S3
Rotel RA - 06
Apple MacBook Pro
I am connecting the laptop to the amp via a monster cable.
However I am becoming very bored of this and I am looking to move up a couple of notches.
I have contacted Stan at Beresford and I am currently on the waiting list for a Beresford Caiman, Hopefully will be receiving one next week! I will be connecting this to the amp and feeding my music into it via itunes on my Mac (a collection of apple lossless and various other)
However I am here to ask you all, probably a very simple question -
AM I ABLE TO REFRAIN FROM USING MY LAPTOP? IS THERE A DEVICE THAT I CAN TRANSFER MY ENTIRE ITUNES LIBRARY (40GB) ONTO WHICH CAN BE BASED NEXT TO MY AMP AND SPEAKERS, WHICH CAN ALSO BE CONNECTED TO THE BERESFORD CAIMAN DAC, WITH A SIMPLE REMOTE CONTROL (SIMILAR TO SONO/SQUEEZEBOX) OPERATING SYSTEM?
I HAVE SPENT THE LAST THREE WEEKS READING UP ON SONOS AND SQUEEZEBOX SYSTEMS BUT THESE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY STORAGE SPACE? I DO HAVE A G-DRIVE MINI 250GB, WOULD I BE ABLE TO CONNECT THIS TO EITHER THE SONOS OR THE SQUEEZBOX AND ACCESS MY ITUNES LIBRARY THIS WAY??? IS THERE A SPECIFIC DEVICE THAT I HAVE NOT COME ACROSS WHICH DOES WHAT I WANT?
I hope somebody can shed some light on the subject!
Thank you in Advance.
Dean
