| Audyssey powered components Yes. Afaik, the AV8003 will not do 24/96 PCM with Audyssey so one's feelings will depend on what one listens to. For movies, I suspect that most HD is no more than 24/48 but, since it is lossless, it should sound great. For music, one would not be... | |
| Audyssey powered components The problem with the 8003, which is a competent design, is that it (1) uses MultEQ, not MultEQ XT and (2) cannot use Audyssey with any of the HD codecs. The imminent release of the AV7005 at about $1500 msrp will correct both.Kal | |

| Squeezebox hard to see? Well, the Duo has a small display on the remote which you can hold in your hand and squint at. The Touch has a greatly superior display but it ain't gonna help if it is 15' away. I use the Touch but, probably, will be adding an iPad for a remote c... | |
| Audyssey powered components Since you have an SMS-1, assuming you are happy with the results, you have an interesting option: Get a Classe SSP and transfer the EQ settings from the SMS-1. In addition, you can use the measurement/display functions of the SMS-1 to program the ... | |

| Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005 It has XLR outputs (http://www.hembioconsult.se/partnerfiles/hembioconsult/pdf/AV7005.pdf) and DSD decoding is not a deal-breaker, imho.Kal | |

Read the specs for the SR7005 receiver: http://us.marantz.com/Products/3230.aspOr read the announcement for the AV7005 prepro:http://us.marantz.com/AVSeparatesFinal_July2010.pdfThey are not the same.You can express your opinion, of course, ... | |
| Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005 The AV7005 is NOT a receiver. The SR7005 is a receiver.Also, you may not have had any problems with the 8003 (and that's great) but it does have the limitations I listed above. For me, those are significant and one reason I had declined to review ... | |

| hearing tests - where and how? This is in response to Learsfool: I am not trying to be contentious but presenting what I know. Most posters on audio forums refer to the work of Oohashi and associates and it is about their work I was commenting.What I do not know is what you bel... | |
