Digital Music Pimp
Heyas,
Back on the topic again....
I'm still trying to organise to put a 'Book powered multimedia system in my car...
So far this is what I've come up with:
Central: High end G3 iBook (600-900mhz) / mid G4 i/PowerBook (600 - 1000mhz)
USB to -> Audio: Xitel Pro HiFi Link
Digital Optical to -> Amp: (hopefully, if i can get hold of one) Muritzy TBK/Muritzy MUZ550.6D Pure Digital Amplifier
Visuals is yet to be decided. I'd like to use DVI (aiming for a 100% digital system) with a small LCD touch screen...
Here is what I want to know:
A) firstly, any comments would be appreciated..
B) any ideas of true digital amps that are available (TBK doesn't seem to be readily available)
C) ideas on LCD/Display
D) the big one: an easy way to effectively encode iTunes music (stereo) on the fly, to DTS/Dolby 5.1 channel surround, to give full surround output from itunes. SRS Circle Surround II does this, but I can only find a plugin for VST... If anyone knows of/is willing to write a plugin/system pref/whatever to give this type of functionality, please let me know.
Thanks in advance guys,
Pengu
