| XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? I understand the theory of both balanced interconnections and of balanced circuit design and they accomplish different things. So, Stringreen, which is the "real benefit?" Kal | |
| XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? "05-03-11: StringreenHi Liz...you're very wrong. If (and only if) your system is completely balanced from beginning to end, there is a definite advantage.. providing the components are truely differentially balanced."Offered as a blanket statement... | |
| XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? What is the benefit as you see it? IMHO, the primary benefit is the potential noise-rejection over a balanced line. So, for each connection that uses it, you benefit (possibly). Kal | |
| Please help, single input, multiple outputs Sorry I helped. Generally, I prefer absolutely no "background" music since, when there is, it is often abusive.Kal | |
| Please help, single input, multiple outputs "I know that many amps output to multiple speakers (for home theater), but they all seem to have only one output to the one input channel. " If you set this to ALL-MONO, the single input will go to all outputs.Kal | |
| Multichannel SACD over HDMI Yes, the v1.2 spec includes DSD but inclusion of the feature is not mandatory, either on the sender (player) or the receiver.Kal | |

| SACD & DSD Questions DSD comes in a few flavors, one of which is what is taken off an SACD disc. There are a few players, such as the Sony XA5400ES and some PS3s, that will play non-SACD DSD. Korg makes a player-recorder.Many SACD players will output PCM and/or DSD on... | |
| Saw the Stereophile review of the B&W 800 Diamond Thanks for reading but:I have never reviewed or auditioned the Salon, only the Studio.The sparkle was appropriate and, as I said, the ruthlessness only an issue with poor source materials.Kal | |
| Multichannel SACD over HDMI Not entirely so. HDMI 1.2 and above have the capability for outputting DSD over HDMI but not every player will. Also, depending on the player, some prior to 1.2 will output PCM from SACD.Kal | |
| SB Touch through coax or USB to DAC? I cannot help you here as the only USB connection I tried (successfully) was that of the Ayre DX-5 player.Kal | |
| SB Touch through coax or USB to DAC? Yes but, apparently, there is no guarantee that the Touch's USB mod will work with all DACs. For that reason, I would not put all my e$$s in the USB basket.Kal | |
| Saw the Stereophile review of the B&W 800 Diamond Other than me, of course. ;-)Kal | |

| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's It is difficult, if not impossible, to make acute comparisons to a speaker that one has not heard in 2 years and it would be misleading if I attempted it.I do appreciate your interest in such a comparison and my comparisons are as site-specific as... |
