| Beatles Remasters on USB Drive and Vinyl anyone do an A-B comparison of the USB versions to CD versions listening through same DAC, system etc? | |
| Leaving iTunes in 24/96? I'm extremely happy with iTunes and after experimenting, I cannot hear a difference thru my Yamaha HS80 studio monitors. Now, my converter is a lower end Presonus, but to be honest I think it does a decent job. | |
| good stand speakers with good low end Unfortunately, In a condo, people living below us, a sub is not possible. | |
| good stand speakers with good low end I always thought I would get better bang for the buck with stand mound speakers vs lower end floor standing units. I figured more cost associated with larger cabinet. Many lower end floor standers are have same driver configuration as stand mount. | |
| SONY Blu Ray player as CD transport? I think I will purchase the SONY and then A/B with my Elite universal player using the analog outs. | |
| SONY Blu Ray player as CD transport? I often wonder if some of the outboard DACs are really just hype. I'm sure the higher end Benchmarks, Apogees, etc make a difference. But among the lower priced units, is the positive reaction possibly related to the output levels between the sour... | |
| SONY Blu Ray player as CD transport? I read a British review of the entry level s370. They state the audio is very good...but the review was mainly looking at video performance | |
| Technical Question THEN.....how much difference would I see (not hear), if any, from the 80 to the 83? Basically, from what I see, the 80 is a same or step up in sound and major step up in video than what I have now. My elite 45-A universal player and elite receiver... | |
| Technical Question Thanks for clarifying things. I'm probably going to order the Oppo 80 | |
| Anyone with an Oppo 80? Thoughts? $500 (Oppo 830 is just out of reach at the moment. The only reason I'm considering the 80 is that I would like to be able to play my SACD's and DVD-A. If I had the space, I would just use the Elite 45-A as my music player and purchase a decent Blu... | |
| Blu ray with good Redbook specs? If I hook the player up to my Elite receiver via Optical out, the receiver will do the A/D conversion. So, would I see much of a difference with a less costly Blu Ray player if I was only using the CD portion as a transport? | |
| Effects of using y-cable from pre outs The amps I've seen have a "pre-out" in case you wanted to add another external amp. I'm not sure about "jumping". I believe it's a regular "out" that you can control volume with remote and use internal amp at same time. | |
| What is consensus on Pioneer Elite sound quality? Thanks..I've heard a lot of good things about Kimber. I have Monster 12 Gage speaker cable which I could tell was a step up from the 16 gage cable that I had earlier | |
| What is consensus on Pioneer Elite sound quality? Well from what I've gathered on this site and others, unless I'm going to spend a bit more, I might as well stick with the Elite receiver. I was tmpted by the Cambridge 840A, but it may not be a major sonic improvement over the Elite that I now ha... | |
| What is consensus on Pioneer Elite sound quality? Cary is another amp I am considering. Since I have a sub in my w 2 channel system, I'm considering using the Elite as a pre, and use the sub-out, and patch in an outboard tube amp thru front pre-outs |
