Description

Analog to Digital and High Resolution computer audio system. Using this configuration for converting my LPs to digital. The Graham Slee Elevator steps up for the line level inputs on the Metric Halo. Cabling is temporary while break-out cables are being built. Next step is integrating JL Audio Fathom F113 using Metric Halo as an active cross-over. Longer term project is room-correction. The LIO-8 brings a lot to the table in performance and function.

Gsself - great looking gear list and nice room picture too. You are where I want to be - namely, using the LIO-8 with Apple Mac Mini as music server. When did you buy your Metric Halo as you list your price as $2995 and I think it's now closer to $4K . . ugh.

For a person comfortable on Windows and having never touched a Mac, have the Mac and LIO-8 got steep learning curves?

Are you using the LIO-8 for any kind of parametric eq or high-pass or low-pass filtering?

Lastly, you wouldn't be located near Toronto would you as I'd love to hear the system?
