| Two Channel HT I am afraid that your older receiver is ill-equipped to do what you want. It does not support A/B speakers or remote zones. Also, what comes out, even via the main speakers is not really controllable without an on-screen display.You would have bee... | |
| Two Channel HT Is it working correctly as a 2 channel receiver?Do you want to add surround speakers?Have you followed the setup procedures in manual and on-screen menus?How have you connected the "satellites" and how have you configured them? | |
| How to convert TV optical output to XLR In addition to getting a DAC with optical input, you need to make sure that the DAC will convert Dolby Digital to analog. Typical analog DACs cannot do this because they accept only PCM. Unfortunately, most TV outputs are not PCM. | |
| who has the best recommended product reviews Brauner, please note that Class A+ was created exclusively for devices that can play SACD, DVD-A and/or hi-rez files and selection is based performance with such hi-rez media, not CD. | |

| How to get HIGHEST-rez signal into my dac from a BRP If his present equipment is not capable of demonstrating the advantage of higher-than-CD source material than providing even better source material for it would be pointless.

| How to get HIGHEST-rez signal into my dac from a BRP Typical responses about this "common problem" are usually based on using poor source material and/or comparisons of widely disparate quality compoents. I think you fall into the latter category.Perhaps the OP should try a hi-rez quality DVD with h... | |
| How to get HIGHEST-rez signal into my dac from a BRP Better than high rez? Not unless one goes really cheap.However, I do agree that buying a cheap player and using its analog outputs (i.e., using its built-in DACs) is no way to get the best of the medium.A player like the Oppo 103/5 can output ster... | |
| What Pre/Pro do you recommend? Not so much overrated as impractical. The demos do not have to be in your own room/system but, to be informing, in the same room/system, as with any component.As for the various roomEQ options, that can be assessed more objectively by reading revi... | |
| Sound format question.... What version of Pandora are you listening to? The free version is low bitrate MP3. Even Pandora One (premium version) is only 192kbps MP3, not high quality except by comparison to the free version. I do not know what the rest of your system is but... | |
| External Drive Help I do not know if you can take the warning against WD drives generally. I use WD Red 4T drives and they are rated well, 2nd only to the Hitachi drives in their category (SMB/SOHO/consumer). So far, none have failed me but, of course, nothing lasts ... | |
| External Drive Help I have two of the QNAP NAS boxes with the same library on each and keep them at different locations. They update each other over ethernet (slow) or by my taking a 4tB HD from one to the other.I have a couple of the 1-2tB portable drives for casual... | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? I'm not sure what additional info I can provide. I need it for HT 5.1 setup with atleast 2 XLR i/p & preferably 5 XLR o/p.I got that. What else do you want it to do? | |
| Audioquest Earth interconnect review I understand but there are so many ambiguities in acronym meanings that, after years of following what you state, I have now adopted current usage. |
