| Upsampleing? Of course. Upsampling cannot get more information out of the original since there is no more information. It can help with the necessary filtering and other processing. | |
| 2 speakers, 1 cable, silly, but do I have options? "There are two strands of copper wire wrapped around each other in each sleeve."Are these two strands insulated from each other? If so, you can use the total of 4 strands separately for stereo.If not, they are effectively one cable and you are stu... | |
| MFG's for cable burn in units? Theta's new Gen VIII DAC has a burn-in signal generator available with the push of a button. Only $10,000. | |
| Good site available to classical music/CD reviews Fanfare Magazine is my favorite source of comprehensive and well-considered reviews. The Nov-Dec issue (now) contains the annual listing of the reviewers' favorites for the year. | |
| Revel Studios for half price? I agree with Ritteri about the F30 alternative. I had both in my system, one after the other, and they are very similar. Kept the Studios, however. | |
| Use of Camelot Uther with SACD player??? The Uther VC is analog. It consists of an array of resistors which are selected by relays. If you feed it with the output of the Genesis, the Uther will do the D/A and VC for RedBook CDs. | |

| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? In addition to all his other comment with which I concur, Ben Campbell wrote: "So if the information on this is correct then the DSD process can be used to make CD's as well as SACD's."Only if it is converted to PCM as it usually is. I was questio... | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? "is it common to manufacturers to make CD layer worse then SACD layer intentionally?"Dunno. They have been accused of it but, aside from the DSOTM SACD, I know of no evidence. | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? "And more important is SACD being played on SACDP sounds lot better than DSD layer to be played on Redbook CDP at the same price range, or even more expensive."How do you play a DSD layer on a Redbook CDP? | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? Buy it. No difference unless the manufacturer intentionally wanted to make one. |
