| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? 1. Yes.2. Yup. The Oppo 980H (cheap but competent), the Pioneer DV-58 (better, sturdier), the Sony XA5400ES (CD/SACD only) and the upcoming universals from Denon and Oppo. Mebbe more.3. Depends. If you want a pure correction, the built-in Audyssey... | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? With only digital sources, I would avoid the DAC and the external EQ and go with the Anthem or the Classe SSP-800, if you add an external measurement system like REW. Those can handle all digital sources and have excellent DACs and DSP. The not-ye... | |
| Preamp or int amp best way to imprv HT 2 chl SQ? The drawback to the external EQ is, precisely, the additional A/D/A conversions which confound any attempt to maintain a coherent analog signal path. Of course, that is just as much "theory" as the presumption that pre/pros can't compete with dedi... | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? TacT is focused on 2 channel? Not as I see it.In any case, let's suppose that you are not considering EQ, give us examples of what and how you might choose and configure your system. Just a hypothetical.Kal | |
| DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD set up OK. I am quite surprised. Very surprised. Almost incredulous.Kal | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? Here's my 2cents. Don't choose a system because of the EQ. All these work well although differently. Choose the system components for their fundamental sound quality and functionality and only then consider which of these is appropriate for that s... | |
| DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD set up Well, they need to correct all their literature, both the product sheet and the user's manual. In addition, they need to stop telling us otherwise at press events. Frankly, it is in stark contrast to the original product introductions in which the... | |
| B&W 802D vs 800 Nautilus Yup. Three of them.Kal | |
| B&W 802D vs 800 Nautilus Hmmm. I had the Sig800s for a bit but settled on the 802Ds because the diamond tweeter and crossover mods made a big difference.Kal | |
| Sub platter diameter AFAIK, there is no standard for subplatter or platter diameter.Yes, tension matters.Kal | |
| Confused at the Digital / Analog Crossroads Early? Climb aboard. The HDMI spec seems to be pretty stable at this point.Kal | |
| Good upsampling DAC w. HDMI When HDMI connections are made, there is a handshaking procedure that involves the exchange of EDIDs in which each device identifies itself and its capabilities. It is used for many things like copy-protection but also to insure that the video and... | |
| DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD set up I am afraid not. If you look at the fine print, you will see that the 2500 cannot decode either DTS HD Master or Dolby true HD. See page 11 of manual. If you select such a codec, the 2500 will output as undecoded bitstream (which the 4306 cannot d... | |
| Surround Sound Preamp Integra DHC-9.9 vs. Anthem " I had imagined using the analog processing of the PAV, and passing the output of the PAV through the 9.8 without the 9.8 further processing it." Nope. You want to pass the analog output of the 9.8 through the PAV and avoid the analog inputs of t... | |
