| Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005 There are no "problems," per se. There are defined limitations of the design. The first is that it uses MultEQ, not MultEQ XT. The second is that the DSP engine of the AV8003 cannot do Audyssey processing and decoding of HD codecs at the same time... | |
| How can you utilize EQ/DSP Room Correction w/ SACD I'm pressuming from your response above here that there has to be a "down-covnversion" or some sort of compression of the original SACD source material (transmitted via HDMI/Coax digital) to a lesser rez output, when processing these EQ circuits? ... | |
| How can you utilize EQ/DSP Room Correction w/ SACD HDMI, it is and I do it every day. There are several players that will convey SACD (as well as other formats) as digital by HDMI to prepros/AVRs that will accept/decode these formats and (via a PCM conversion) permit DSP/RoomEQ. And, yes, you can ... | |
| Technical Question If your display is digital (most modern panels and projectors are), there is no "decoding" at all. There are other digital operations that are accomplished (de-interlacing, scaling, etc.).Kal | |
| oppo bdp-83se vs oppo bdp-83 Do you know your bass management and level/delay needs? Does the Oppo meet them? That ain't a matter of opinion.Kal | |
| oppo bdp-83se vs oppo bdp-83 There is no question in your original post so there's no need to respond to your comments. | |
| CONNECT internet music souce to hi-end Tiggerfc:Pandora is fantastic. I have about forty different "stations" programmed in and they play a great variety. It seems to suck for classical as it only plays chunks (movements, arias, etc.) and not whole pieces of music.Tiggerfic:However, yo... | |
| oppo 83 se or oppo 83 Yes, the Atlona functions similarly to most of these units like the Octava and, in fact, the Atlona looks identical to the old CLUX 11SA. For me, the lack of multichannel digital output (except for lossy Toslink) is a problem.BTW, that the Weiss D... | |
| oppo 83 se or oppo 83 1. This is something that has been going on for a while with both legal and illegal adapters, both external and internal.2. The typical device referred to is the Octava which, of course, will only output 2channels over optical.3. Did the commentat... | |
| oppo 83 se or oppo 83 There is no difference between them for HDMI and the only PS differences are to support the different needs of the DACs.Kal | |
| Is HDMI worth the upgrade? Lack of HDMI is a serious limitation in an AV processor these days, so I would think that it would be a major factor.Kal | |
| oppo 83 se or oppo 83 For CD only, mebbe but, overall, I would suggest the SE if you are using the analog outputs for all audio.Kal | |
| CONNECT internet music souce to hi-end The player is irrelevant here as we are only speaking of a USB source from your PC. And here, I would definitely not go from PC to DAC to any transmitter, FM or otherwise. If you need to go wireless, use the Squeezebox Touch (which I am planning t... | |
| What are Zobel filters? Not so. A Zobel filter is meant to linearize the impedance of the driver or the cable so that the crossover does a better job.What you need are acoustical treatments unless the Wadia (or something else) is defective.Kal | |
| CONNECT internet music souce to hi-end If you want to hard-wire, get a USB-DAC to connect the output of the computer to the Mac. I use a HRT in my office for this purpose. Squeezebox Touch is the first choice for wireless.Either way, the quality limitation will be the streaming source,... |
