I finely got the iPhone I was waithing for to appear, big, big, big, good screen…
I am loving…
The 6 is beautiful but the 6 Plus is my favorite in size.
This Asus router is a good one, the first of is kind.
Works best with AsusWRT Merlin firmware for Asus Routers.
Great developer by the way.
I did not test it fully, but it´s very stable, and has a lot of control on what is appening on yout network, but Asus Routers are allways a safe buy, and apple routers do not work with my fiber optics net provider.
Apple needs to implement new protocols their routers…

Oh my god!!!!!
Just wanted to buy a DAC for my Mac, ended with a little more than a dac.
First when iFi micro IDSD entered the system, was UAU!!!!, the biggest upgrade any computer needs to really listen to music.
Then why not, asked to try an iFi iUSB power supply, and the sound became a little more clean and focused.
Then asked to listen to iTube, at first as a pre amp receiving the sinal from my iFi iDSD dident liked, the sound was less dynamic and not very interesting, for a moment I did not liked the combination, then, tried the option of using it as a buffer of the iDSD, and I can not believe, another upgrade to the soundstage, think of a 3D image of a band in a stage that is bigger, more real and well defined, the wall in front of me disappeared.
This is gonna ruin my bank account.
I tried some audioquest cables, but when, like in the separate audiophile gear world of audio, it’s better stay in the brand then combining various brands, normally that does not result in a positive way.
Then the Gemini cable came, for the price was a global refinement of the sound, the texture of the instruments was more real, and why not the mercury, this one was a big problem for me, only 1 meter, when I needed 1,5 meters, had to make some changes in my system to use a one meter cable.
The iFi cables resulted in a synergy not easy to archive in a system.
iFi products are a big surprise for me, I have more pleasure listem to music now, then I was trying to archive audio nirvana some years ago, when brought a levinson 383 to work with my nautilus 805 and 804, with a linn unidisk 1.1, and kimber select 2021 and 3033, the sound was good, but not right.
I am not saying that the iFi products with the harman gla55 are superior to a levinson, and a b&w 804, but they present the music in a way that is more pleasant to me, and the combination of their products result in perfection, lot´s of detail, good dynamics, great presentation.
And the iRack, the quality of this iFi iRack is impressive, I love the iRack.
The only downside, is… After starting to hear high definition audio, when I listened to an ACC 256K was depressing, even aiff extracted from CD shows the limitation of 16bit 44.1, after entering in the 24 bit world and DSD, it’s amazing what we were not listening in the music.
Listen to Sound Liaison recordings, they are impressive.
And for listening real audio, you need to use a software like Bitperfect or Audirvana. Bitperfect is amazing for the price, Audirvana it’s a little better for now.

After adding a dac to my system, it’s impossible to go back, for some years I was trying to add one. Finely brought one.
iFi iRack completes the setup, iFi iDSD, transforms a not bad sound in Harman Kardon GLA-55 in an Audiophile computer heaven, I did not even believed that the GLA-55 could be so much better, but believe me, the iFi iDSD, iFi Dac, are something amazing.
You need a good hi resolution audio like the studio masters from linn, chesky or HD Tracks to listen real hi res sound in pure nirvana.
It can also listen to acc from iTunes with beter quality, but acc or mp3 show all limitations after listen studio masters, there is no going back.
iUSB takes the noise from the usb signal, interesting as this realy works, more precise sound.
iRak is only cosmetic for me, but beautifull.
Did not test any audiophile USB Cable, can´t confirm their effect on audio computer setup, and they are expensive for me to try them.
A friends iMac 2012 HD Upgrade, a lot more easy to repair than the latest iMacs.
Still, this i7 iMac is a great machine, hope the new hard drive lasts more than the apple one.
Many thanks to Mario for the photos.
You can contact Mario if you need MAC low price mac repairs in Portugal on is facebook profile www.facebook.com/mario.r.vasconcelos.35/about
After warrantie this repair would cost a lot of money on an apple service provider, but with the help of a apple tech repair friend, the total cost was the price of an hard drive only.
120 Euros…

After adding a dac to my system, it’s impossible to go back, for some years I was trying to add one. Finely brought one.
iFi iRack completes the setup, iFi iDSD, transforms a not bad sound in Harman Kardon GLA-55 in an Audiophile computer heaven, I did not even believed that the GLA-55 could be so much better, but believe me, the iFi iDSD, iFi Dac, are something amazing.
You need a good hi resolution audio like the studio masters from linn, chesky or HD Tracks to listen real hi res sound in pure nirvana.
It can also listen to acc from iTunes with beter quality, but acc or mp3 show all limitations after listen studio masters, there is no going back.
iUSB takes the noise from the usb signal, interesting as this realy works, more precise sound.
iRak is only cosmetic for me, but beautifull.
Did not test any audiophile USB Cable, can´t confirm their effect on audio computer setup, and they are expensive for me to try them.
This Asus router is a good one, the first of is kind.
Works best with AsusWRT Merlin firmware for Asus Routers.
Great developer by the way.
I did not test it fully, but it´s very stable, and has a lot of control on what is appening on yout network, but Asus Routers are allways a safe buy, and apple routers do not work with my fiber optics net provider.
Apple needs to implement new protocols their routers…
A friends iMac 2012 HD Upgrade, a lot more easy to repair than the latest iMacs.
Still, this i7 iMac is a great machine, hope the new hard drive lasts more than the apple one.
Many thanks to Mario for the photos.

After warrantie this repair would cost a lot of money on an apple service provider, but with the help of a apple tech repair friend, the total cost was the price of an hard drive only.
120 Euros…
