February 13, 200818 yr comment_95726 Are there any known DIY modifications that can enable the Apogee Duet to become compatible with Microsoft Windows? Actually, I did just come up with a DIY method for getting the Duet to work with Windows, since I am DIY master. 1. Buy Duet 2. Sell Duet 3. Buy Pico 4. ... 5. Profit Report

February 13, 200818 yr comment_95729 You could port core audio to windows I guess.Actually, you don't even need to do that -- just write a driver. Report

Profit Yeah, thanks a fucking bunch posty. I just read that and burst into laughter and everyone looked at me like I was a nutbat. I like your thinking though. Report
February 13, 200818 yr comment_95737 For a second I thought you guys were not paying attention. I am fine, the weather is not so good though. How about you? Report
February 13, 200818 yr comment_95740 Seems like people here actually take a look at IP adresses. Greetings, I'd say you have keen eyes. Goodbye. Report
February 13, 200818 yr comment_95744 Goodbye. Huh? I have no plans to log off at this moment. Where are you heading off to? Report
February 13, 200818 yr comment_95751 Actually, you don't even need to do that -- just write a driver. It'd have to be a pretty robust driver. There's more to it than just taking the audio signals... Report
February 14, 200818 yr comment_95802 A very reasonable way to use the Duet with Windows would be to use a "Macintosh" simulator and run it in there. Google showed several possibilities. I have no idea how good or complete the simulations are. If you can find a good one, it would do the trick. Report

I have no idea how good or complete the simulations are. If you can find a good one, it would do the trick. It'd have to include core audio, which seems unlikely Report
February 14, 200818 yr comment_95813 Posty's post makes it sound like the Pico > Duet. I'm not good at describing sounds well but I can't wait to AB it with my friend's duet. What I wish was a plug-and-play Duet, Apogee is missing out by not releasing one. Report

March 7, 200818 yr comment_103616 Wouldn't the current entry level mini be the best bang for the buck? 1.83 GHz C2D, 1 GB of RAM and 80 GB HD for $600. Report
March 7, 200818 yr comment_103618 Core solo is gone. I would go for the US$779 one, but I ain't got that much dosh raht now. Report
March 7, 200818 yr comment_103631 that core solo should be plenty fast for music (and, frankly, most things, as it's way faster than the G4 systems i was stuck using for years), that's what i would suggest people get. I have the last ppc mini Mac (1,5 Ghz G5 irc) it's more than fast enough to "normal" mediacenter duties (music, ripped dvds @ ~2Mb/s etc). I guess the solo should be at least as fast. But unless I was on a budget, I would go for a dual core as two hanging process are better than one Report
March 7, 200818 yr comment_103650 Primarily using this as a DAC + headphone amp is disappointing? How about relative to the E-MU 0404 USB functioning in the same capacity? Report
March 8, 200818 yr comment_103943 Primarily using this as a DAC + headphone amp is disappointing? How about relative to the E-MU 0404 USB functioning in the same capacity? the duet should be better than the e-mu 0404. the headphone out of the 0404 usb definitely bottlenecks the performance of the unit. grawk has stated the headphone out of the duet is better than the one out the mini-dac, which IMO, is much better than the one out of the 0404.

March 8, 200818 yr comment_103953 Actually you might be able to approximate some kind of solution to use a duet in windows with cygwin (linux has coreaudio ports). If it were me though, I would just get a hacked version of osx. Report
March 29, 200818 yr comment_109496 Not to go off topic, but are there any alternatives to the supplied breakout cable for RCA? I saw someone made one with RCA and cable already attached, but I'd like to use my own cable with as little or no other cable in the signal path. Report

Get the pinout from Apogee (or from HF, I believe it's been posted there somewhere). Report
March 29, 200818 yr comment_109499 If you email Apogee they'll send you the pinout, at least they sent it to me. I don't have it with me or I'd post the pinout. Report
