Olive remote
OK, in my call to Olive, I asked about using Universal remotes. The fellow said that they use RC-5 (the Phillips standard) for remotes. This is the same standard my Classe pre-amp uses -- which may be a bad thing, because I also read somewhere abo... 
Olive Musica vs. Opus
Hi all,I thought others might like to know: I called Olive. The guy I spoke to was very nice and helpful. He told me that the analog input circuitry is identical on the Opus and Musica, so presumably there wouldn't be any difference in the quality...

Are Classe Amps Good for B&W?
Well, the system that made me understand that high-end audio was for real about 10 years ago was a Classe CDP, a Classe pre-amp (CP-35) with a 5-channel Classe amp driving B&W 805 monitors. There was a sub in there too. Specially sound-conditi...
