| b&w 685: heard 'em, liked 'em, but wondering You may want to check out the Era D4 or D5:http://signalpathint.com/index.php/Comparative/era-Speakers.htmlWhen I auditioned the D4s they were noticeably superior to the correspondingly priced B&W monitors using a receiver. | |
| Blu-Ray HD Audio Coding, worth $1000 Upgrade? I need to correct my earlier comment. To do 5.1 over toslink (or coax) for that matter you would have to reencode to DTS or DD. The only way to get lossless 5.1 out of the PS3 is to have a receiver that is capable of receiving LPCM over HDMI, whic... | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? If you're going to be in SoCal they're on the floor in Tustin at Digital Ear. | |
| Why would you run video through a processor? You are right. I was getting confused with 2 channel PCM which does go over the optical or coax. I run two channel HT so I just use coax to transmit decoded PCM from my player to my Wadia although to hear DTS HD MA I'll have to upgrade my player a... | |
| 1.2 HDMI source and 1.3 receiver... Best in terms of what? | |
| Why would you run video through a processor? If your player internally decodes the advanced codes, you can run the HDMI for video direct to the display and the decoded 5.1 LPCM stream via digital (coax or toslink) to your processor. | |
| sony bdps2000es blu-ray player and dts-master? It doesn't appear the player has that ability. See more here:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1050507andhttp://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=953199 | |
| 1.2 HDMI source and 1.3 receiver... Yes, but note that you won't be able to take advantage of any HDMI 1.3 features of the source (e.g., DTS HD MA streaming, etc.) | |
| Buying expensive used CD player/transp = bad idea? A preamp/integrated amp generally does not perform D/A conversion. | |
| Review: Wadia 781 CD Player Thanks for the detailed responses. Enjoy your break. | |
| Blu-Ray HD Audio Coding, worth $1000 Upgrade? If I'm reading the specs correctly, the receiver only does HDMI pass through so it won't process the audio signal, it merely passes through the video via HDMI. In other words, it's nothing more than an HDMI video switcher. If all you're looking is... | |
| Review: Wadia 781 CD Player Thanks for your reply. Just to be clear, the system you heard the 270se/27ix was not your own? And your 75% comment is unmodded combo versus unmodded 781? | |
| Review: Wadia 781 CD Player Paragraphs are your friend. In any case, was the 27 an i unit and were you running clocklinked to the 270se with glass (obviously)? Did you have the same system you have now when you evaluated the 27? | |
| 1.2 HDMI source and 1.3 receiver... Yes, you'll be fine. | |
