| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor Yeah...weird! Usually when video drops out the audio will drop out too or at least in the case of HDMI handshake. But your issue obviously isn't with hdmi handshake. I would contact Classe and find out. Most likely you will have to send your unit ... | |
| mcintosh preamp for 5.1 @stereo5Mac isn't the only one that can give you a lush sound. But Mac lacks in other areas : transparency, inner details, musical nuances and information was somewhat obscured compared to other high end gears. Lacking in musical rhtym and drive a... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's @plb02What's your budget in USD for an integrated amp? Do you need a built-in DAC? | |
| mcintosh preamp for 5.1 Correction : my friend's Mac monoblock power amps are the MC 1.25KW, not the MC 2KW. Sorry my bad. | |
| mcintosh preamp for 5.1 @stereo5 As per your claim above in regards to your friend’s all Mac 7.1 HT setup that’s simply your opinion or perhaps you haven’t heard true high end HT setup of system. The same applies to your earlier claim that your Mac C2500 tube preamp best... | |

| mcintosh preamp for 5.1 There isn’t a single Mac preamp that I like and it also applies to their av multi-channel preamp processors (av pre pro). There are much better sounding preamps or av pre pros out there than McIntosh, some of them are cheaper than McIntosh but pro... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 Hhmmm....yeah...that’s odd. Only the video drops out but the audio stays. Wondering what hdmi cable are you using to connect your SSP 800 to your display? Are you using a very long hdmi cable from the SSP 800 to your display? And you sa... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 Weird. Mine is fine. There's been hiccups here and there on occasion it may be related to HDMI handshake issues. I only have the Oppo 205 player. that's the only AV source I have connected to the SSP 800 via HDMI. I split the HDMI outs ... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000Thanks. When the video on your SSP 800 was dropping out, what source was it playing from? Was it from your cable tv box or your bluray / 4K UHD bluray player or other AV sources such as gaming consoles, etc? Are you using Oppo UDP-205/20... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000So, are you also going to add overhead speakers for Dolby Atmos & DTS-X setup? Yes, while I love the SSP 800 as far as audio performance as it is a superb sounding pre pro but it's time to move on and get something more current in te... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @soix Thanks for the advise.Yes I read great stuff about the MP-50. It is in my short list and it decodes Dolby Atmos & DTS-X that's the most important thing. That's the major reason I want to get rid of my Classe SSP 800 processor cause it do... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 I am also considering the Lyngdorf MP-50 as well as the Datasat RS20i, Trinnov Altitude 16 or 18, Theta Casablanca lVa, and possibly the Meridian Reference 861 v8. But not sure if the Meridian Ref 861 v8 has been updated to accommodate ... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @pattemf132I am also considering the Anthem AVM60. Heard great things about its ARC2. Great room correction calibration is paramount in home theater (surround / multi-channels) setup environment. This will be used strictly for home theater in my d... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? Highly consider the Naim Uniti Nova. It is a digital streamer, DAC, integrated amp all in a single chassis. It retails for $7500 brand new. It will drive your speakers with ease and sounded highly musical. Has superb streamer and DAC. Has built-in... |
