| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) I have read that some of the newer Zidoo players support HDR and Dolby Vision, but Dolby Vision is not listed directly on the website. You may want to email them to make sure.As far as I can tell, Dune and Zappiti do not have Dolby Vision yet. T... | |
| Recommendations for PC -- for modest system -- Why is DIY not a good option if I am using essentially what other DIY houses are using? Why wouldn't results be comparable? millercarbon seems to be completely against DIY and has consistently pushed Synergistic Research as a solution for any p... | |
| Recommendations for PC -- for modest system -- HDMI cables: cable between PC and Marantz AV7705. First, you really want a very good video card. The power supply and circuits on the video card actually influence the audio/video quality (like GeForce 1050 or better). Small cheap video cards ... | |
| Are the Stereophile setup CD’s any good? Some of the stereophile discs have frequency waveforms (such as a constant 40hz sine wave). Some have pink noise. Mostly it's music you can use to test with, but there is better music available on sites such as HDTracks. All you need for speake... | |

| HT Pre/Pro 7.2 Upgrade??? The B&K stuff was voiced very warm. Does he want to stay with this sonic signature? Or does he want something more high resolution with more excitement and snap in the highs? What is the budget? | |
| HT Pre/Pro 7.2 Upgrade??? And here we go again with 2 channel slant and bragging. | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Zidoo is apparently heavily geared towards playback using its internal storage. Is there any benefit to using internal storage vs streaming from another PC on the network (via DLNA/Plex) ? Seems to me this may be just another step - copying ... | |
| Should I use RCA cables or Digital cables for interconnects Be aware that if you use any sort of DSP or subwoofer crossover setttings in the AV8805, the AV8805 will automatically convert any analog inputs to digital to process the DSP/Audessey/crossover and then re-route it to the internal AV8805 DAC anywa... | |
| Multi 6/7/8/9/11/12 + Channel Amp Suggestions? Ebay has a few Crown CTS 8200 amps in the $400-600 price range. These are 8 channel amps and were very nice sound quality. That being said, they are going to be 13-15 years old. And they have a special connector for input signal (you’ll have to ge... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about flac audio? This might be a published fake FLAC file generation. Really, the only way for you to personally validate this FLAC compression difference is to buy your own audio file converter (such as Aul Converter 48x44) and compress some WAV files YOURSELF. ... | |
| Krell Evo 600 issues/replacement advice I have heard Boulder amps. While they are not as smoothed over as the new Krell XD stuff, they do still have just a tiny bit of the lush coloration that is typical in some of these bipolar Class A amps. The EVO 600 is still more neutral and unco... | |
| Krell Evo 600 issues/replacement advice The new Krell Solo XD amps are a completely different sound than your Evo 600 generation. I think the Evo generation was the best Krell amp in their history. The new Solo and XD type amps have more of a very smooth Class A sound. Really smooths ou... | |
| Emotiva Xpa 2 Gen 3 power amp @arctikdeth - the previous generation XPA models were completely different with full linear power supplies and huge transformers. In my opinion, Emotiva took a drop in sound quality with the Gen 3 models, which are all switching power supplies. It... | |
| Emotiva Xpa 2 Gen 3 power amp Uses switching power supply. Good for the money if you want that power. Good resolution, but somewhat bright in the highs. Bass is hollow sounding because of switching power supply. I recommend looking at the Monoprice Monolith amp if you wan... |
