newzooreview,Can you describe which of the 4 ports on the 2010 mini is the isolated one that is shared with the IR receiver?I'm anticipating the arrival of my 2010 mini anyday now and it would be helpful to know which port to start with as I'm a complete newcomer to the Mac world.Thanks,Jim
Hi Randy,Thanks for the info! My mini came today, so tomorrow I should be delving into it and trying a Mac for the first time since 1985 (which was the original Mac with 512k and a floppy drive ).Anybody know how to get this thing apart so I can get the SSD installed>Something tells me this is going to be fun!-- Jim
thanks for the input newzooreview. I believe you need Leopard or Snow Leopard to perform screen sharing ? So bluetooth or remote gaming keyboards are bad news ? And, using the Mini wirelessly as opposed to hard wire thru ethernet cabling, is not the best ?
perhaps I missed it, as I did not explore the entire thread, but how does this dac fair against the minimax? Looks like both have earned a lot of praise and attention here on AC.
Apparently, the tranquility dac with new mac mini (with recommended config changes) is comparable to any transport / dac combo - price no object jury is still out there ...
Bigfish,get ready to 'sign-up' it's more than just in the wind now
Perhaps an RMAF debut? Eric?
....we conducted a comparison with the Tranquility, the WFS DAC2 and a prototype of the DAC that is being developed specifically to beat that statement DAC.ThanksBill
Bill, what is the "statement DAC" that you refer to above?
One thing I just discovered is that playing back from the MAC's internal drive is quite a good deal better than from an external USB drive. This probably explains why when we first tried it out using my USB drive it was rather ho hum. But when Mike tried it later with his machine using its hard drive - wow.
reading this thread, this dac sonds very interesting. but i have found no info on the dac used? is there any inside pictures of it ? i have found pictures of Weiss dac2, WFS dac, audio-gd dac , ayre dac but none of the tranquility? any info on the upcoming tranquility signature differences?
