| Best way to hook up a sub? I'm not a big fan of adding another crossover in front of the speaker's crossover. | |
| Is it worth buying a headphone amp? Try some Schiit. It's pretty good bang for the buck and while the brand is new, the founders have been involved in some great companies before and bring something to the table. Not too pricey either. | |
| Oppo 103 digital processing @Tesseract86Nope:From the official Oppo website:Dual HDMI Inputs Connect external devices such as set-top boxes and network streaming devices to take further advantage of the excellent audio and video processing functions by the BDP-103. The BDP... | |
| USB or Squeezebox Touch from Mac to DAC A slight downside to Steve's SynchroMesh is that it is tuned for one set of frequencies: so you have to choose 44.1kHz (most of your CDs) or 96kHz (for hires stuff).You can purchase a software to enable the USB port on the SB Touch to work with US... | |
| HELP w Esoteric K-01 If the power is erratic where you live (like in mine), it might be helpful to get something like the PurePower. | |
| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview Like the 93, the 103's role is as a digital transport primarily so the analogue outputs/DAC section aren't as robust or as well designed as on the xx5 range. @Hikmer, how was the 4k output though? Did you have any chance to compare it to the Sony ... | |
| Does Anyone Have a Traveling System? I dont think the immersion factor is the same with a 15" display even if you are seated close by.But one of these...http://www.siliconmicrodisplay.com/st1080.htmlThat might persuade me :D | |
| Best way to hook up a sub? Is this for a home theater or a hifi system?If it's for HT, it's easy enough to hook it up. Just use the LFE output from the AV receiver or prepro.For music, it's a bit more difficult. You might want to look at one of these boxes:http://velodyne.c... | |
| Does Anyone Have a Traveling System? May I recommend:Smyth Audio Research's Realiser A8 ;)Use a set of ortho cans like an Audeze LCD2/3 with a modest head amp (tho the LCDs will work with the Realiser's headphone output) and you'll have an awesome surround sound experience to go with... | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable Interesting.I am using the short ALO one for my Cypher Solo which I thought works quite well | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable I don't think the AudioQuest USB (which are A to B type connectors) cable will work with the ipod. | |
| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview There isn't one. But is there really a large target market for a mediocre DAC with async USB connection? But the better DACs in the 105? That would benefit from the async USB connection. It's why Oppo has 2 models in their line up. They used to ha... | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable Found the reviewhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0109/marantz_sa8003.htm"The USB input is powered by an NEC uPD63901 microcontroller (designed for use in car audio head units), and it enables the SA8003 to play MP3, WAV, WMA and AAC... | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable I remember reading a review that stated that the USB port on the Marantz SACD/CD player SA8003(? I think) didn't use the better DAC that they used for SACD. I don't have the link off hand though. So it may not be worth springing for a better cable... | |
| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview Why 105? Because the dCS doesn't play multi channel SACDs, nor DVDA nor Blurays.The 103 is primarily designed as a digital transport so the DACs used in the design (and the analog subsystem) aren't great to start with.It does have the HDMI inputs ... |
