I think I've decided to go with the Arcam AVR 200, as it keeps the hi-rez analog signal intact, and the bass management will allow me to send all the bass to the L/R mains, which will be plugged into my 2-channel amp, where my speakers and sub can pick it up. I *do* wonder: I know movies have specific bass material on the .1 track (LFE), but what about Classical SACDs? Anyone have the Arcam? Anyone know about .1 on SACD?
Hi-Rez downgraded by DSP anxiety
My head is reeling trying to figure out the whole surround business. Question of the Day: Most a/v receivers have DSP circuity. Telarc.com says beware of DSP because it converts hi-rez back to 16-bit. They are not clear whether simply leaving DSP off avoids this problem. Does it?
