Description

This is my livingroom system. it has been through a lot of changes. Went from 14 watt tube monoblock amps feeding LaScalas to Threshold SA 3.9e class A and B&W CDM1 NTs. Now I caught the Linn bug. I am running a biamp system now and ti has cleaned up things a lot.

I use air tunes with itunes most of the time. I can control music from an iphone too.

congrats on the new acquisition fellow CDM1NT'r. I too just got my new DAC a few weeks ago... and to be honest, im very very very pleased and surprised... my files sound better from my Apple tv than they do from my Rega cd player... also, got the matching tube headphone amp, and some new cables (Nordost Frey interconnects) I loaded some new pics and a link to youtube with a video of the gear playing via the dac, check it out.

cheers

LOL... I hear you. I too have the Apple TV2, actually we have one in the living room setup on the HT, the other one is in the bedroom, simply hook up to the 40"LED. thinking of taking one of them and seting it up in the Zen room. Need to do more research on DAC's
