| New Processors passing HD Sound? There are suitable AVRs (and a very few pre/pros) available now that will do the job but there will, undoubtedly, be more coming. A problem has been the unpredictability of the players' capabilities in decoding and/or outputting the lossless forma... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? Wes's discovery is not a surprise to me. Very few high end companies are on the cutting edge of MCH technology these days and there have been very few MCH demos, at shows or in showrooms, that utilize high-end equipment effectively. That's why I w... | |
| Woofer on top? It depends on the crossover design as many will create a lobing of the on-axis response up or down. Of course, you want that aimed at the listener's ears.Kal | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? First, the report was by Wes Phillips. Barry Willis is no longer affiliated with Stereophile.Second, the lossless version of dts is dtsHD-MA. The MA stands for master audio and is lossless. dtsHD (no MA) is less lossy than regular dts but not trul... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? Can no one describe how these HD audio's differ from non HD audio ?The HD codecs are lossless, unlike the predecessors.Is it just pulling the same ole thing from a new type of decoding system ?Depends on the source. Some of the newer materials on ... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? Actually, I do not really see anything on p12 that is definitive either way. Also, p48 is equally amibiguous about what you get from the 5.1 analog jacks.First of all, this is typical of most BRD and HD-DVD manuals since the number of variables an... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? If you send me a link to the manual, I will look at that matter but please check to see if it is decoding dts-HD MA, the MA indicating that it is lossless.www.avsforum.comwww.htguide.com/forum/Kal | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? C'mon. This is not a problem with the guys at the AV forums. You can get high rez audio via HDMI either in the original bitstreams (LPCM, Dolby True-HD or dts-HD MA) or, if decoded in the player, all as LPCM. They will have equal resolution in bot... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? At the moment, I know only of the Integra and the Onkyo Pro with the NAD and the CaryCinema combo due shortly.Kal | |

| Music to evaluate Speakers and System Mrtennis-When making evaluations with more than one unknown parameter, e.g., new speaker and new recording in a new system/room, one cannot determine what accounts for all the discovered sound differences. It is a mathematical/logical impossibilit... | |

If you don't have any kids or grandfathers around, maybe.Really? I am surprised. Such a hook-up is likely to damage an amp or two... | |
| Music to evaluate Speakers and System I disagree that one should use whatever one likes.That is not what I or anyone else said. We emphasized that the recordings need to be familiar but no one said that they should be restricted to a single type or genre. A system should play everyth... | |
| Music to evaluate Speakers and System This is a topic that comes up regularly and, after a slow start, garners a fairly long list. The bottom line, however, is that it does not matter what others use since the most important factor is YOUR familiarity with the recording, not its genre... | |
| Bel Canto REF1000 vs S300 Mr_sukebe wrote: "I've compared the 1000 to the S300 and felt that the 1000 is simply a bigger/better S300. If you like the S300, you'll love the 1000. As it is, clearly doesn't do it for you, so look elsewhere."Amen.Kal |
