I use a netbook to run Foobar on my home audio system. I use iTunes with Amarra with my Mac Mini desktop system.

The last time I tested, using the same JDS Labs ODAC RCA, the netbook sounded the same as my MacBook Air using iTunes and Amarra.

Kaya ba FLAC ng iTunes sir?  Ayaw ko na magconvert eh...  Nung nitry ko amarra kelangan pa iconvert yung flac files ko kaya balik PC ako.

Update lang since wala pang bagong gear :P

Amarra can be a standalone player. You can load flac. But interface is simple list.

XLD is a very efficient converter for Mac and is very quick. I keep my master flac files.

Great stuff for a beginner.  Take good care of the 1200mk2.  It's now hard to find cause production of such has ceased.  But the 1200mk2 is built like a tank, and can be tweaked too for better sonics.  A lot of information in the net on how to tweak a 1200mk2.

Also, welcome to the aikido user's community.  I had mine for so many years na and have been very happy with it.

Enjoy your audio journey! Cheers!

padami ng padami ang vinyl naten bossing :) AYUZ!  :D the next upgade that will change your system dramatically is an mc cart! yung high mc para kaya load nung mm phono mo. unless you will be getting a low output, then a new phono stage should be next.

btw, sa vinylhead records, sa calatagan makati, may release bukas nung bgong dating na stocks nila. 12nn-9pm boss open. :D :D

Oo nga sir REL nga kukunin ko kung sakali... kaso anliit ng listening room ko at naging problem ko ang bass. Siguro after acoustic treatment pagiisipan ko na kumuha ng sub :)

kuha ka ng 8" or 10" sub like yung Rel T5. not sure kung available na locally ang Rel Series S.  pwede rin 12" na sealed like SVS SB1000 or SB2000.  or abangan mo next year ang bagong JL Dominion subwoofers. (8 and 10 inch sealed subs. ;) )
