#Vibe sound usb turntable with mac archive#
Not long after my visit to Matt, my pal Stephæn bought a MacBook as a dedicated music server and told me that since doing so he has listened to a lot more music since because of iTunes' ability to archive all his music into a library and play it back any way he likes. Yet I wondered if computer audio would catch on as something desirable with the rest of us music lovers. Computer interfaces are a given in Silicon Valley, naturally. Matt told me that in his Silicon Valley area of California, this was a popular combination - more popular in fact than expensive one-box CD players or two-box transport + DAC sources. Make no mistake, I was impressed with this rig's smooth, flowing and musical presentation ensconced in expensive Shindo ancillaries. It was at retailer Matt Rotunda's Pitch Perfect Audio in San Francisco where I first the heard the combination of an Apple MacBook, a Hagerman HagUsb USB to S/PDIF converter and a 47 Labs Shigaraki DAC playing the tunes.
