Try the Restore mode which enhances your Internet radio listening and see what you think, I strongly believe that you haven't heard Internet radio until you've heard it through a receiver such as this or something similar from Yamaha etc, the DSP processing makes a huge difference even if you're listening with 2 speakers or in Pure Direct mode, in this mode all the circuitry for video etc is bypassed and you get a direct audio path from your source to your speakers.

As has been noted, the XW-SMC5K has a CD/DVD player built-in which is multiple format playback. The XW-SMC4 and XW-SMC3K seem identical except that the SM$K comes with the Bluetooth adapter whereas with the SMC3K its available as an optional extra. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane
Re: DLNA Devices
hello , i use the same thing, and it works great, various things can be now accessible through wireless technology. there is still some glitches but overall things now can be accessed. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2014 4:37 AM Subject: DLNA Devices Hi! I've always been fascinated with Media Servers and devices since I bought my Fritz! Box over 2 and a half years ago. DLNA is the protocol devices, Media Servers, Computers and Apps use to communicate with each other. For example, its now common place for a Smart TV to have DLNA compatibility on board which allows the browsing and playing of content on a remote Media Server, this is typically a hard drive or NAS storage unit connected to a Home Network. Many devices available are not accessible to these media servers given their menu systems and no built in speech capabilities so Dead End I hear you cry? Well not quite. I have quite a few devices which have DLNA compatibility built into them and I'm able to utilise the DLNA functions of each through DLNA management Apps on my IOS device. When the App is launched on say an iPhone it comes up with a list of DLNA compatible servers attached to your network, these may include hard drives, computers etc. From here you select the type of content you wish to see, you can Browse Folders for particular content or select a category such as Music. What then is displayed depends very much on the category selected, if you select Music then you'll see various sub categories such as Artist, Album, Playlist etc. If you select Playlist then a list of playlists will appear and yo u can select the appropriate list from here etc. At this point you can select an output device to play the content to, again these are DLAN compatible devices which could include your Windows PC, your Smart TV, a wireless speaker system, a network media player and so on. Thought some list members may wish to follow this up. ** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane

As far as the Mac is concerned - and other platforms as well - there are a lot of myths about the place and - as good as the Internet is at providing information - the Internet is also very good at providing misinformation, I saw a review of Voiceover not long ago and it only took me a few lines of reading to fully understand that the author unfortunately had absolutely no idea of what he was talking about, yes he had been using computers for 20 years but had not! read any documentation on Voiceover or the Mac let alone done any homework on the subject or asked any questions so has far as he was concerned? The Mac and Voiceover was supposed to be exactly the same as his Windows Machine using JAWS, that’s like comparing bicycles the cars, whilst they both get you from point A to point B they do it in slightly different ways. Anyway that’s another story for another day smile. ** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane On 21 Oct 2014, at 10:40 am, Les Gordon www.cdrdvdr.com mr...@comcast.net wrote: hi, great thanks for the info. i'll be adding this to my research. mac is just a great stable way to go. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, October 20, 2014 7:13 PM Subject: Audio On The Mac Hi!

I’ve had my new Mac Mini for about a month now and thought I’d share some observations with you. The Mac Mini is fast turning into my main computer of choice because of its speed and power, here’s an example which I think illustrates the point rather well. I’m testing a Mp3 player, I deleted all my Mp3 collection a few weeks back so I needed to create or download some more, given I have a good FLAC collection it made sense I guess to convert some of those, I started with the Beatles Singles collection 4 CD set from 1962-1970 which contains more than 40 tracks. Conversion was over in around 30 seconds and I was using the highest settings with the LAME MP3 encoder to get the best I could out of it, on my Windows desktop and other machines such a conversion task would have taken around 20 minutes or even longer. I spoke to someone about this and he reckoned it would have only taken 5 seconds or so with his Mac Pro machine and so it ought to given that his machine contains 8 quad core i7 processors smile, mine only contains one but I think the major contributing factor here is the Fusion Drive that my Mac Mini uses, put simply a fusion drive is a 1TB standard hard drive with a 128GB SSD drive incorporated into the design, when idle the operating system decides what resides on the SSD and what doesn’t based on the most accessed files, most run applications and so on. Now I’m not writing this post as an advertisement for Mac Mini machines as I’m sure similar can be accomplished with Windows PC’s, I’m writing this because I’m amazed at just how far we’ve come, encoding and creating of MP3 files used to take hours if not many minutes not all that long ago. ** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane

Am I correct that the Mac Mini is a fairly small box with no built-in keyboard or screen, in other words, one plugs in a keyboard and a screen if one needs one. What other ports does the mini have?

I’ve had my new Mac Mini for about a month now and thought I’d share some observations with you. The Mac Mini is fast turning into my main computer of choice because of its speed and power, here’s an example which I think illustrates the point rather well. I’m testing a Mp3 player, I deleted all my Mp3 collection a few weeks back so I needed to create or download some more, given I have a good FLAC collection it made sense I guess to convert some of those, I started with the Beatles Singles collection 4 CD set from 1962-1970 which contains more than 40 tracks. Conversion was over in around 30 seconds and I was using the highest settings with the LAME MP3 encoder to get the best I could out of it, on my Windows desktop and other machines such a conversion task would have taken around 20 minutes or even longer. I spoke to someone about this and he reckoned it would have only taken 5 seconds or so with his Mac Pro machine and so it ought to given that his machine contains 8 quad core i7 processors smile, mine only contains one but I think the major contributing factor here is the Fusion Drive that my Mac Mini uses, put simply a fusion drive is a 1TB standard hard drive with a 128GB SSD drive incorporated into the design, when idle the operating system decides what resides on the SSD and what doesn’t based on the most accessed files, most run applications and so on. Now I’m not writing this post as an advertisement for Mac Mini machines as I’m sure similar can be accomplished with Windows PC’s, I’m writing this because I’m amazed at just how far we’ve come
