Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
Cdwallace - Not only that my system has potential to be unlocked but any system has this potential. I know we're not talking cheap home theater but that is where center channel helps the most. In my system imaging is close to perfect and sweet spo... 
Toslink or 110 ohm aes/ebu?
Toslink was measured to have on average twice jitter of coax. It is because of additional conversions to light and back and relatively slow optoelectronics. I have no clue how Toslink can improve your bass performance since it affects only jitter ... 
DVR - Is there a stand alone unit?
DVDPal (sold by Sears) does not require subscription but is only for OTA signal. 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
Cdwallace3 - I'm not sure how center channel would help in my system where I have center images right on the spot and midrange is very clear but I suspect it helps a lot with center image and voice presence on cheap satellite home theater system a... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
If electronics resonates on soft feet it can have (if any) unpredictable results. Not only that soft feet can provide nice isolation from vibration (as Vibrapods do) but there is no way of telling how it might affect the sound (if at all). As I sa... 
Help me solve static electricity problem
There are two separate issues IMHO - to prevent static and to prevent damage from static. Damage from static can be prevented by grounding chassis directly to earth ground. 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
"Kijanki, no I am talking about the magnetic field caused by the signal current flow within the component."I'm not questioning that vibration of electronics might affect the sound somehow, but saying that "it seems logical" that soft bass comes fr... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
"moving a wire within a magnetic field clearly can induce a signal that isn't the music" - what magnetic field? I hope you're not talking about earth's magnetic field. 
1080i vs 720p
Cerrot - HDTV programs change format many times being transfered between stations. Standard OTA HDTV signal is digital and compressed to fit 6MHz bandwidth slots. No matter what this signal is my DLP TV always converts it to own TV format where in... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Tbg - I absolutely believe that CD ripped as data (EAC, MAX etc) can sound better than CDP in real time but there are things that people believe (placebo effect) or don't (negative placebo effect) that are simply crazy. Below is fragment of one of... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Tbg - I feel that investment in DAC and HDD is more secure now than in expensive CD or SACD player since server can play wider range of formats and is more flexible (plus internet radio). In addition it is easy to use - no CDs to change, playlists... 
1080i vs 720p
"no flat panel TV today actually displays a 1080i signal. They all buffer 1080i and display 1080p."True, but if they would then 720p should be better in spite of lower resolution, since eye is extremely sensitive to horizontal misalignment. 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Thuchan - I cannot understand how Mini Disks could be superior with it's smaller media and compressed format. "One company claims they will stop producing CD-players - it is a kind of marketing campaign, isn`t it?"Marketing campaign of what? Linn ...

Airport Express "local clock" issue?
My Benchmark DAC1 doesn't have this problem either.
