| Amazon Music HD The sampling frequency is a minimum of cd quality, often superior. To my ears at least, it sounds that way. I don´t have Roon but imagine it should work. The app is easy to install and use, at least on a Mac. Give it a try for free and judge for y... | |
| Amazon Music HD I have the answer now: I just needed to change the setting in the Audio MIDI utility. | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass I bought the USB/SPDIF converter 12 years ago, a HagUSB. The sound seems good, but I have nothing to compare it to. | |
| Active speakers for a large room Using PMC supplied tilt and turn wall mounts, I placed the speakers towards the middle of a long wall, about 9 feet apart, at head height, usually with heavy toe in. The minimalist room has it´s sonic problems and might benefit from some room corr... | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass Ok, this might make me look stupid, but here goes; it wasn´t stated in the instructions: the TV settings are source specific. I was able to change my sound setting for Netflix to DD and now I get it in surround!I am unable to do similar for extern... | |
| Active speakers for a large room I didn´t; somewhat out of my price range. + We have cats, so I needed them to be wall-mounted, away from easy reach. | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass Thanks for your comments. It seems the problem might lie with my TV, which would be annoying as it is a brand new top range Samsung Q90. It appears that when external sources are connected by HDMI into the TV and Toslink audio out, then there is n... | |
| Active speakers for a large room Just to let you know, in the end I bought the pair of PMC result6. As soon as they were turned on I heard a big improvement, in all aspects. Aside from great clarity, they have a bigger presence in the room and wider dispersion. Naturally, with on... | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass Sorry, I perhaps my question was not clear enough. Yes, the primary source is the Smart TV, which is connected to the P30 via toslink. The main problem is that Netflix seems to use Dolby Digital Plus, which the P30 cannot process properly. Atmos i... | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass Thanks for the entertaining replies; and the link to that extraordinary system. It puts my attention to detail to shame. I have tried TV in stereo (with my 2 REL subs), but I prefer surround; would especially miss the centre channel. The Marantz i... | |
| Active speakers for a large room rego, thanks for the suggestions. It was only worth getting a 2 channnel DAC as the others would have had to undergo a A-D-A conversion in the P30; not a good idea. In the end I have decided to buy the PMC speakers, as I got a good price and I kno... | |
| Active speakers for a large room sorry gregm; saw your post after i posted mine. i can´t find the M3. do you have a link? | |
| Active speakers for a large room Thanks for your comments. Passive monitors are not really an option as it would mean changing most of the system. Power is not really a problem; the Genelecs are turned way down as it is. Speaker placement is pretty much fixed as it is, being idea... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? Yes, I thought about that, but for the extra there is some flexibility for room correction etc. I´ll get round to that once I´ve figured out the basics. And it´s German, for what it´s worth. Although it sounds incredibly clear, when the volume is ... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? thanks. yes, i should have said a USB switch. presumably any of reasonable quality should suffice? |
