Pioneer Elite DV-58AV -- In the house -- Review to come

Last Saturday my Pioneer Elite DV-58V universal player arrived after receiving full-boat mods from Ric Schultz. You can see Ric's offerings at:

It's about 100-hours into burn-in, so I'm waiting until next weekend to record in-depth findings. Here's a preview; it blows away the stock Oppo 981HD.

I'll try to get a review out by early next week.

I think every audio reviewer hopes for a surprise—when a good, but not outstanding, product is refined by the manufacturer into something special. The review then becomes an exciting discovery, reaffirming the pleasure one takes in good audio, and in listening to music being reproduced as it should be. It makes the listening exciting and the writing easier. The Classé Fifteen solid-state stereo amplifier is just such a surprise.

Help! Computer Audio Issue

I like to play Apple lossless files through my home stereo from my Apple Macbook. I have a very budget DAC (the Firestone Audio "Fubar") and it worked fine at first, but now, not so well.

Every few minutes, my music is interrupted by an awful noice that's sounds like a piece of paper being torn in half...like the song is literally stumbling. Something to do with the sound file's transmission? It seems to happen more frequently if I'm using the computer to browse the Internet or burn a CD, but it also happens by itself with no other apps open.
