| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Following on the link, above, I found a very interesting section. It is true that PM equipment was pretty popular in recording and mastering studios. I quoteth the results:Much of the time, the engineers turned all HDCD features off, but the HDCD ... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Hi @dtc I found a very complete discussion of it here:http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=High_Definition_Compatible_Digital#Regarding_the_Playback...According to that, the transient filters were part of the specification, but were never li... | |
| monitors to sub tuning, using high pass output on subwoofer back to amp? The biggest problem is really noise. 12' is starting to get long for RCA cables, and potentially very pricey too! If you could use an active crossover instead, such as from Bryston, which you could put on top of your receiver you would be in bett... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Thanks George! When I scanned all of my library I assumed only 44/16 would be HDCD encoded. Now maybe I will look through my hi rez files too.Best,Erik | |
| AVR 300 Powers up, 8 seconds, powers off One hack I apply to routers is to find a 5V suppy somewhere and attach a fan. You'd be surprised how helpful a half dollar sized mini fan can be> :) | |
| Anything to compete with Sony UHP-H1 ? I'm waiting for the Oppo 4K to be officially disclosed. They've announced it but the specs are still not known, I think. Correct me,please. :) Erik | |
| Help Connecting Dual Subwoofers LFE = line level. Just different naming to make bass management easier. Keep it simple. 1 channel to 1 sub. You risk bad impedance issues otherwise, especially with tube pre's. Get room tuning first. GIK Acoustics. Lastly, sound quality of subs mo... | |
| Refurbishing Avalon Ascent Mk 2 Hi Franz...So the first obvious question is, have you reached out to Avalon? They may have replacements for you in stock. Next, I don't hear about midranges going out very often. Double check to make sure it's not a crossover thing. Examine the cr... | |
| TIDAL Desktop Application or Chrome Browser? The biggest issue with Windows playback is the driver settings and digital mixer. If your player software gets around that, I’m sure it’s better. I use a Squeezebox in one room and a dedicated Linux PC in another. The Oppo BluRay players are also ... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... I'm not questioning HDCD. I like it. I just was hoping they'd have something more specific about which features they used for RR. | |
| Upgrade from Emotiva XPA1 to Bryston 28bsst2 or Pass X350.8 Also check out the Parasound Halo range. :) | |
| Oppo 105 or 105D sound using Equitech or Furman or Shunyata? Furman with LiFT sounds great for me, and less expensive. :) | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... So I've poked around Reference Recordings. I've not heard them, so I have no idea what they sound like, but I must say that their site is VERY light on technology. Big on adjectives. Again, it may be fantastic, but I personally would love to under... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Wow, you packed a lot in that first sentence, @georgelofi Not sure what you meant.AFAIK, the HDCD chip, was purely digital domain. The DAC implementation was left up to the licensees. Interesting about Reference Recordings. I wonder if they are us... | |
| Tidal streaming 192.0Khz/24it? Ooooh, then I know your problem. :) In Oppo Settings you'll find... something like this:Audio Processing --> Coaxial/Optical Output --> 192kHz. Change it to linear PCM. Best,Erik |
