You'll use up a lot of disk space - but then disk space is cheap these days so that's not really a huge concern. The downside of WAV files is that they are really big.

When you download a CD to iTunes in WAV format, you are getting the same PCM data that's on the CD, albeit with some additional header data that WAV uses to run on a computer.

Red Book and WAV files are similar in that they both code their data in PCM but WAV files differ in that they are computer files with file header information which a CD player can't read. It seems a lot of HiFi buffs favor the sound quality of WAV files, which is an uncompressed pulse-code modulation (PCM) file.

Apple's iTunes can read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless file types. Let me talk about iTunes and file formats for a moment but consider my comments preliminary because I'm just getting started. Loading music onto a MacBook couldn't be easier: Slide a CD into the internal drive and iTunes checks it against a music database, adds all the CD information like song titles and such and then begins downloading it to hard drive for your listening pleasure. I also have a 300GB outboard drive as a backup if I need more space for my beloved music files. When I ordered my MacBook, I maxed it out with the biggest baddest hard drive and most RAM I could because I plan on using it for more than just audio.

That allowed me to recreate the digital front end just as I had heard it at Matt's. The always cool Yoshi Segoshi of Sakura Systems, US importer for 47 Laboratory, kindly sent along 47 Laboratory Shigaraki DAC for the same review.

Jim Hagerman of Hagerman Technology was gracious enough to send me one of his HagUsb USB to S/PDIF converters just like the one Matt uses. I followed Matt's and Stephæn's example and bought an Apple MacBook to start exploring the world of computer audio. That's what it's all about for the music lovers among us. Stephæn's comment about listening to more music really got my attention.

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.
