The setup was not my cup of tea. The highs were ear piercing IMHO.
I gotta stop reading here or I'll go broke.I had the original Tranquility for a couple months and loved it. Sent it back to get the Signature, which I'm hoping arrives this week. Using a tweaked Late 2009 Mac Mini, but lust after this M2 MM.A dual-boot option would be wicked. One "regular" install of Snow Leopard, and one of the tweaked Mach2 installs. Is that possible?
The setup was not my cup of tea. The highs were ear piercing IMHO. I spent two days hoping time would prevail and the gear would settle in. Just did not work for me.
Sounds like a nice Rocky Mtn made in heaven matchup Dave & Darrell, congrates. I only see 1 problem here tho, instead of peanutbutter & jelly, I'm a fluffernutter kinda guy myself. Cheers,Robin
Mamba, Anything is possible. It would take us more time and we would recommend a larger SSD than we normally put in, so it would cost a little more to dual-boot, but yeah, we can do it. Not a bad thought Mamba. A lot of us run headless, so it may not work for everyone, but if this could be useful to some folks. Darrell
Darrell, as we discussed briefly, I'll chime in to vote for a dual boot mode as well, as long as there is no sonic comprimises. I have an 80GB SSD in my mac mini. Do you anticipate that is large enough?ThxKenreau
I flew out on business on Saturday night and just returned. The MACH2 MUSIC Mini looks like a winner. I was surprised at the brightness in the demo and it would have been nice to have another source like an anologue rig to compare the two. With all the forums saying the Tranquility dac sounds like analogue, I was disappointed by the highs. I was not familiar with the speakers. Normally a neutral front end will not make for irritating highs. My thoughts are that with the high resolution files, if the tweeter is poor, this could happen. Hard to say without a direct comparrison to another source. I would like to try a Mac Mini for a source with high res files into my current dac and then see what happens. RMAF had numerous rooms with high resolution files, whether recorded cd's or computer audio. I found some rooms sounded very good with high res files, but plug in a 44.1 cd with a good recording fall flat on a couple of rigs. Audio shows are a tough market.
Scotch would work.
