Mac Pro + WW Platinum USB + iTunes + Bryston SP3 w/ Upgraded USB Port = WOW

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!
