| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 I’m concerned that the xlr to rca adapter will degrade the signal thus sound quality. I would avoid using that. But it seems like you have no choice since your HT bypass on your Gryphon is rca. Yes, I can't wait till my new MP-50 fully ... | |
| Home theater setup recommendations? @david_ten Agreed....those acoustic panels from Sony OLED is pretty good for tv viewings. Or else Bose small surround sound speakers system will work for them since Bose seems to be a reference system for them and is simple to operate. | |
| Home theater setup recommendations? Naim Muso will sound much better than soundbars but it is meant for listening to music only, not for watching movies or tv shows. And it isn't multi-channel setup but it is very simple. Thought I just threw it out there for you. | |
| Home theater setup recommendations? Or get them Bose surround sound system as this seems to be a reference system for them and for lots of people (non-audiophile crowds). | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor Naim Statement gears, which consists of Naim NAC S1 linestage preamp and Naim NAP S1 monoblock amps, are extraordinary and these are statement products/cost-no-object design gears. Most Naim dealers wouldn't have these Naim Statement gears on disp... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations @2tuby I wouldn't get the Classe CT-SSP/SSP 800 av preamp surround processor if I were you. The CT-SSP does not have a USB input. It does have HDMI, spdif (coax digital audio), and optical digital (Toslink) inputs. Lacking USB input can be trouble... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations @2tuby Yes there will be huge improvements sonically when using a $400 DAC/preamp vs a $6k preamp/DAC. Your upstream electronics play important role as they are the ones feeding the signals to your power amp and speakers. If you feed them with gar... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 I’m still running my Lyngdorf MP-50 in in order to get it properly and fully broken in. I still haven’t really sit down to make thorough observation yet from a sonic standpoint until it’s fully broken in. I will report back once it’s fu... | |
| DAC OR NO DAC??? @rwrightcpa When you asked about the internal DAC in McIntosh MC2600, did you mean the C2600 preamp? | |
| DAC OR NO DAC??? @rwrightcpa Are you sure you had everything set up correctly and properly on your Sigma SSP? Cause setting up Classe processors are very different from setting up your Marantz processor or other Japanese processors. I had set up my friend's Marant... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations @2ruby Out of those two speakers that you listed above I would definitely go with the DeVore Gibbon X but as one of the member said above that these speakers retail for $15k/pair new and I wouldn’t think that you would be able to find a used pair ... | |
| Why the Distain For the Rotel RB-1080 Power Amp? I’ve heard the Rotel 1080 a while back and while it was quite good for the price but the highs were a bit grainy when not paired with the right speakers. However, the new and current model of Rotel 15xx series class AB amps are way way better than... | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? @sforrey You mentioned that you’re looking for an analog integrated amp (no DAC) but on your lists above you included the Parasound Halo Integrated and the Parasound Halo has DAC. I will add the Rega Elicit-R analog integrated amp to your list but... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 How’s your Lyngdorf MP 50 so far? I’m still in the process of breaking it in. I’ve had Room Perfect properly set up and calibrated and all and got 4 overhead height ceiling speakers for Atmos setup, so my current setup is now 7.2.4. Hav... | |
| DAC OR NO DAC??? @audioengr This is not for me. It is for the OP. The OP just recently purchased a used defective unit of the Classe Sigma SSP Mk2 AV processor on eBay. I do not own the Classe Sigma SSP. I think you got it all mixed up. |
