| High Rez audio over HDMI In fact, I thought about it. Especially given that a used 861 really can't be had for anything below 7K it appears. Adding in 3K for a HD621 for a 621 puts it out of my leauge. I am using a Sony XA5400 ES for SACD/CD and a Pioneer BDP 09 FD Blu Ra... | |
| Blu ray and SACD Separting 2channel and multi channel makes little sense (unless you want to outfit two different physical spaces with sound equipment - may be one listening and one video room). The reason is you can easily integrate a state of the art two channel... | |
| Blu ray and SACD Neilspeed, I was in your position 6 months ago and would have bought the Denon universal had it been available then. However, I was impatient and went the two box route and bought a Pioneer BDO 09 FD for blu ray (about 2K), and a Sony XA 5400 ES f... | |
| Furman 20 or 20i Thanks all. I just picked up an old model reference 20 on ebay for cheap and have high expectations.... | |
| Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference? In my experience an outboard dac is one of the highest return upgrade investments you can make. | |
| My Blu-Ray HDMI conundrum Quick update. I decided to go all out and buy a Pioneer BDP-09FD, which allegedly sets the standard for blu ray analog multi channel out. To hedge my bet I got it at a price I could resell it for, in case it disappointed. The Pioneer analog setup ... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Have not read the thread, but I can tell you this. On the video side of things Blu Ray is worlds apart from DVD. Audio - including Tru HD is far less impressive and I frankly hear vey little improvement over a traditional DTS soundtrack. This is m... | |
| My Blu-Ray HDMI conundrum Thanks for suggestions everyone. The solution is obvious: First get myself an Oppo BDP-83 and do a shootout against the Denon over HDMI. Then compare the Oppo HDMI out with its 5 channel analog out (I have plenty top notch cables lying around). Be... | |
| Will clock upgrade improve HDMI output I reread my message and I said "I have no doubt to question his integrity". This could be miscontrued as suggesting I am questioning his integrity (slip of the keyboard). What I meant is I do NOT question his integrity. | |
| Will clock upgrade improve HDMI output Obviously he says it will improve the signal/sound. I have no doubt to question his integrity (I asked Dan @ MOdwright about the clock and he suggested upgrading the clock would probably improve digital out over HDMI as well). However, I don't thi... | |
| How can I improve my system Interesting (and quick feedback) many thanks. Not sure about the amp route (I owned Belles - albeit only 150A hotrod - and the Stratus were a big step up in my experience). But the room acoustics and speaker placement are intriguing. For additiona... | |
| 24/96 DAC + DVD Player - Help As far as I'm aware the only discs that have 96/24 tracks are Digital Audio Disks (DAD, very rare species, some on Chesky). This format has failed to make an impact and is overtaken by SACD and DVD-A. To play this over your DAC, you would have to ... | |
| Best $4-7K speaker for HT and music? Silverline Audio Sonata II or LaFolia | |
| Review: Sony SC-D777es CD Player Dollysowner, Jerry Osment firm is Audio Logic, based in new canaan, CT. You can call him at (203)966-1732. I can tell you for a fact though he does not do the SACD upgrades anymore though, since I just got of the phone with him.RCprince, thanks fo... | |
| Review: Sony SC-D777es CD Player BigKidz, what you did not elaborate on is the difference between CD and SACD playback. Did you listen to any Hybrid disks in both modes and what did you find? Did you compare playback over the Forsell / Audiologic combo with playback in SACD on th... |
