| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? That HDMI marked "audio" may be for a hi-rez audio signal from a streaming source. That player appears to be capable of streaming! | |
| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? I looked at the back. It has a digital coax plus a toslink optical output. Also two HDMI outputs - one marked "audio". I say use either coax or toslink into your DAC. | |
| How tall do you like your images? Worst speakers for image height are the Klipsch Heresy's. I am glad I sold my pair! | |
| How tall do you like your images? Or a pair of the nine-foot Acoustat 1 + 1's! | |
| How tall do you like your images? Floor-to-ceiling like Bob Carver's $15K Line Source system from some years ago! | |
| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? Does that Sony BlueRay player have a coax output? If so, use that into your DAC. No such thing as "high definition" CD’s. Only Redbook and SACD. | |

| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition Two years ago we had the $35K LP12 on the cover of Stereophile. So even more now for the 50th Anniversary edition! This is a ’statement’ product to anchor Linn’s place in the top-tier of High End audio - like those $375K mono amps from DarTZeel in... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition @perkri +1! I have the pre-Linn Ariston RD and the later Ariston RD11S in my TT collection, along with an LP12. Ivor did indeed copy Stuart Hamish’s Ariston. In fact Ivor had Stuart build the first year’s LP12 production at the Ariston factory in ... | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers @clearthinker +1! Unfortunately there are many here that do believe in the 'good' vs. 'bad' electricity fallacy, even to the extent that one needs an 'audiophile' wall outlet for purer voltage transfer. | |
