| Biamp with a multichannel amp? Wack a mole!First, there's no difference between biamping with a stereo amp or with a multichannel amp. If you get (or believe you get) an advantage with biamping, either will do fine.Second, this topic is discussed ad nauseam here and on every ot... | |
| Are all Dynaco PAS 3X's identified as such on back No. Many are original PAS3s that were upgraded with an add-on kit and these would not have the PAS3x label. The detent is indicative of the fact that, in the neutral 12 o'clock position, the control is bypassed.Kal | |
| Convert cartridge output voltage to db gain So, by that calculation, he has adequate gain in the phono stage despite his protestations. As I said, it is the noise level, not the gain that needs to be addressed. Since he is turning up the gain (reducing attenuation) in the in the integrated ... | |
| OPPO BDP-83 audio output question I would like to see a "de-embedder" that will output coax/optical from multichannel SACD/DVD-A other than the Meridian HD621 which works only with Meridian processors. There are some others which are, officially, illegal. I have one. ;-)Kal | |

| The best center for Paradigm Ref studio 20's v2? Another Studio20/2, of course. Better than the so-called matching center CC.Kal | |
| How good is an Oppo BDP-83 or SE as SACD player? Lots of comments on this in the specific threads at AVSforum.Kal | |
| English PCM 5.1 for Blu-Ray Movies I have never seen a front panel display indicating the language. I do not think there is data in the bitstream to inform the AVR what the language is. Only the OSD from the player knows that.Kal | |
| DAC's & SACD's. Can they be used? Total novice.. AFAIK, there are no stand-alone HDMI-input DACs. The only ones are inside processors.I wonder if it is not an economic issue as licensing and qualifying to HDMI might be a significant burden, especially for a small specialist company. In addition,... | |
| DAC's & SACD's. Can they be used? Total novice.. SACDs only output from the analog outputs OR from the HDMI output of the XA5400ES. Kal | |
