Hi folks, As ridiculous as this may sound, I need some help setting up my new system. I will happily pay someone to help me set up my Macbook Pro, Aurender S10 and my Vitus RD-100. My speakers are on the way and I'd like to be fairly literate with this gear by the time they get here. This is what happens when middle-aged people buy stuff that is well beyond their level of expertise. How do I download FLAC? Can I change whatever I have to FLAC? What program should i buy? How do I use it? Kindly PM me to avoid further embarrassment. Liquor of choice will be served. Thank you. Jim
 
Thanks. I'd be delighted… I CAN NOT figure this Vitus RD-100 out no matter how many times I read the directions. Even the grammar is bad!!!
 
Jim, you can convert the files you have to FLAC if you want. If you're using a Mac the easiest program, and it's free, is Max. You can download it here: Max from sbooth.org

It's easy to set up for FLAC under Preferences --> Format.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm a "hands on" guy. I've read the RD-100 manual 10 times but still can't get it to do what it's telling me! I need a complete tutorial by a real living person. Thanks
 
Jim...for all things computer audio, PM E (Emile) here or on the other site. He is a PC/Music Server audio guru. The other suggestion is to have the tech support folks at Aurender walk you through setting up the Aurender and your Mac. Finally, this may be helpful (dCS' comprehensive guide to computer audio): http://www.linkwitzlab.com/dCS_Guide_to_Computer_Audio(2).pdf

Normally, I would refer you to the link on dCS' site but their website is undergoing a redo, so I found this link at Linkwitz Lab. In any case, it has a comprehensive set-up for allt he recommended settings for computer audio using PC and MAC and different music playback software. Of course, you are using the Aurender as a music server which probably has its own software interface but this may still be helpful.
 
Thanks guys. I actually posted an ad on craigslist and have had a few responses. I'd rather have some young smart IT guy cone over and just do it, and show me. We'll see what happens. As always, THANKS!
 
Have you found anyone? I'm in NYC and have an Aurender S10 - I may be able to help.

Dave,

I can send Jim your number and remove it from the forum if you'd like.

Well... that is scary!

Thanks Cyril for the shoutout. Just noticed this thread now.
 
Not so scary. I had a few pretty smart people respond. I'm happy to have found Dave. He has the same server I do. He did the same drill about a month ago.
 
I meant the CraigsList... you didn't get stabbed, or offered "massages" - so that I would consider a win. :)
