| Blu-ray multi-channel analog vs. HDMI The real advantage of going HDMI, aside from the convenience, is to make available the more sophisticated bass/channel management, post-processing and room equalization in the processor/AVR. How have you assessed the influence if these on your del... | |
| Anyone listened to PSB Synchrony Ones? Mlauner: "i ended up with the PSB T-6 for less money but was a toss-up"Which T6? New or old series?Kal | |
| OPPO 83SE vs Anthem D1 DACS The SE upgrade applies to the analog outputs from both the two channel DAC and the multichannel DAC, although somewhat differently. Thus, you can take advantage of it for stereo or multichannel, including Blu-Ray, if you choose to.Kal | |
| Has my Meridian 506 become an expensive door stop? AFAIK, Meridian sourced these transport mechanisms from a third party and did not make them. Therefore, there might be someone with a stock of these. First, you have to find out what mechanism it is and, second, you have to find out who may have t... | |
| OPPO 83SE vs Anthem D1 DACS For BluRay, the issues are the same as for other media.Kal | |
| OPPO 83SE vs Anthem D1 DACS Keep in mind that bass management on the Oppo is pretty crude and that going direct means depriving yourself of decent bass management and roomEQ.Kal | |
| onkyo sc885/886 or integra 9.8/9.9? Old news. Discussed ad nauseam on AVSforum and reviewed by all the usual suspects, including me. They are, of course, discontinued but are still outstanding, especially in the current market.http://www.stereophile.com/musicintheround/108mitr/http:... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player It has a digital output but not for SACD, of course.Kal | |

| confused with HT bypass Generally, one feeds the L/R line-level output from the pre/pro to an analog preamp's HT passthrough, not the other way around.For example, I have passed the L/R output from my Meridian 861 through the Parasound P7 (for experimental purposes).Kal | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE I have but I cannot say much. So, works fine. Someone on AVS has posted his initial reactions to it compared with the vanilla 83.Kal | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE 11-18-09: TbgKr4, I anxiously await the Exemplar moded Oppo, but know two others with them whose opinions I greatly respect. I guess that I should not be reflecting their impressions and await being able to make my own. I must also respect informa... | |
| confused with HT bypass I don't understand why an XLR out from my Proceed PAV to the pass-through of an Integra 9.9 isn't the way to go. As I understand it, the Integra pass-through does just that. Because there is no "pass-through" on the Integra. If I take the LR pre-o... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE 11-17-09: TbgCmalak, as I have said, Exemplar is moding the BDP83.Granted.Kr4, your saying the fact is the new chipset is superior doesn't make it so.I had auditioned the new chipset as a demo board. One can also look at the specs.11-17-09: Kdibel... |
