| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Niacin, in a real world live performance, sound does come from all around you. That is what accounts for the differences in the sound of a performance in a small club, a concert hall, a gymnasium and an outdoor stadium. It is, also, those differen... | |

Niacin wrote: Having music coming at me from all angles is as unnatural an experience as I can imagine.I do not generally care for such either but that statement indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the goals and advantages of multichannel ... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Cine 100, I was distinguishing between multichannel for music and multichannel for home theater. Without doubt, MCH HT is the volume mover for dealers these days and those that still sell a bit of audio tend to sell stereo.What is the issue for me... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? It's too bad that more dealers don't try to promote higher end (2) channel systems as an alternative to surround sound. Although, the current "norm" of multi-channel design provides a niche for me!Really? I have rarely ever found a high-end dealer... | |
| Squeezeboz Touch and high rez files The Touch, itself, cannot handle a 192kHz file at all. It is the SqueezeServer on the PC or Mac that will downsample the file to a format acceptable to the player. It will downsample to lower bitrates for other SB players.However, if you try to pl... | |
| Squeezeboz Touch and high rez files I know nothing about Macs but the SBT plays 24/96 files and 24/192 files (downsampled to 24/96) from my PC wirelessly.Kal | |
| Using Oppo as DAC? The Oppos have USB inputs but they are moderately restrictive in what they will accept.Kal | |
| When have A/B comparisons led you astray? Same mechanism. Neural adaptation and it is a common source of bias in long term even more than with A/B comparisons.I recall a study done at a hifi show. Subjects made a blind preference choice between two options (speaker vs. speaker, or tube am... | |
| Marantz AV8003 Processor It really depends on the particular player whether all the outputs are simultaneously active or not.Kal | |
| Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive? Sakahara wrote: Yes, something weird is going on to have the same issue with SB3 and SBT three years apart, or both defective. What are the odds.Odds are it is something indigenous to your system or setup. Have you streamed anything successfully w... | |
| Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive? I have used the Touch in 3 systems, wired and wireless, and not had any problems. If you are having problems, it is external to the SBT or, possibly, you have a defective one.Kal | |
| Logitech Squeezebox vs. Sonos Logitech Touch--AFAIK, the newest of the three, GUI on unit, simplest remote, coax, optical, and USB outs. The USB is an input but can be patched to be an output. Will I need a Wi-Fi router to use the remotes? No. Ability to handle 24/96, 24/192,... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year Do not make an absolute judgment. Someone will always dispute it (and rightly so). | |
| Two Amplifiers Connected in Parallel? "Besides the extra power it is generally thought that bi amping provided better definition and increases transparency."I would add this is far from a universal opinion.Kal | |
| Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive? It is hard to know exactly what is feeding the SBT unless you defeat one. At least, that's how I figured out my problems with a PC-based system. I have no idea what is involved with Apple stuff and I had to look up AEBS.Kal |
