		<description><![CDATA[Our audiophile colleagues in Spain have taken an interesting approach to the question &#8211; they asked the manufacturers. Here&#8217;s what top builders said. Punch line: about 100 hours&#8230;give or take 100 hours! (Check out Audioholics for another viewpoint.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m using a used 15&#8243; Intel-based Macbook from late 2006. I know other models would give me the best sound from a Mac, but I can&#8217;t afford them. You should get excellent sonics from the MacBook. It should not be the weakest link in the digital chain. Do you use an external drive and software [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some folks over at the SlimDevices Forum (here) are currently debating the impact of this 2000 psycho-acoustic scholarly research from Japan. The results of the study support some remarkable and far-reaching conclusions: Frequency content beyond 20khz enhances human perception of music &#8211; test subjects favor it over lower-bandwidth material. Brain activity can be measured and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For our technically-minded members, I&#8217;m sure that you&#8217;re aware of Fourier Analysis and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) that revolutionized signal processing. For others, the core idea is that any signal can be efficiently decomposed into a number of sine waves. The more sine waves, the better the approximation. The graphic at left shows a [...]]]></description>
