Before I configured this last night I had read tons of threads on media servers. I had grown extremely concerned that I would not be happy. I tried using the 'Computers' app on the AppleTV to play music hosted with the 6-core Xeon Mac Pro cylinder on iTunes using HomeSharing. Quality was not was I know it could be.

My new house had to be remodeled before I connected the system you see in my signature. I ripped out a fireplace and two massive bookshelf systems. I had speaker stands framed with 2x4 and marbled over. Three 20-amp lines on the same phase from a fresh sub-panel. Three 10' grounding rods in a triangle connected to the Ditek DTK-120 an engineer on AA suggested. For the last 21 months I have been listening to 96khz music from my iPhone hardwired to B&W MM-1 or hardwired to B&W Zeppelin. Ivan sold me a WW Platinum USB cable and I am in heaven now. My face was leaking fluids. So loud. So clear.

Jitter. Power supply noise. iTunes. SilenZio. Aurender. Clock issues. etc

Don't worry about it with this setup. Wow!

Well done, and looks like a great listening space.
