| 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... | |
| Sony XA5400ES lack of bass when new? "(Nothing below 100hz)"If you have confirmed this with measurements, the player is defective. Or are you speaker figuratively?Kal | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE Ah. That does not make the older, original chipset "better." It just makes it more suitable/convenient for your selected mod. In fact, the new chipset is, in all ways, superior.Kal | |
| Suggestions for a pre w/ direct pass including sub A "pre" will not decode any of the digital formats you list. You mean a "pre/pro" or preamp/processor. The least expensive of these that will meet all your functional criteria are the Onkyo 886 or similar Integra 9.9. These are being replaced by n... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE 11-16-09: TbgKr4, It doesn't use "The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses the state-of-the-art Sabre32 family of Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) from ESS Technology. "I do not understand this or the point.Kal | |
| Crossover Tutorial Well, I guess all the positions have been heard from. Ask Albert, read a book. | |
| Crossover Tutorial You cannot choose one. No off-the-shelf electronic crossover can replace the built-in one. To do this job, the crossover needs to be custom designed for the speaker and this is not a task for a beginner. I suggest that, for the moment, you leave i... | |
| Suggestions 4 surround processor w/newest formats. 11-15-09: JoysjaneStill haven't decided fellas.Have been reading up and it sounds like the Marantz does al the new format decoding itself. Might just end up letting it do it's job and bypass the whole processor gig.What say you's?Depends. How's th... | |
| Has anyone heard the new OPPO BDP-83SE 11-15-09: TbgI have the non-SE version coming and this is by choice, as this version has the better chip, at least as used in the Exemplar modification which is what I am getting.Better chip? Which chip?Kal |
