Thanks auxinput.I think I’ll get the AQ Chocolate as they sell in the U.K. so I will save on international delivery charges.But it’s good to know about the Neotech for when I need a decent HDMI for myself one day.

Would it be worth buying a decent HDMI cable? I've read conflicting articles about high end HDMI cables vs basic ones. The Satellite is connected to the TV via HDMI, and the TV is connected to the DAC via digital cable (because of Netflix being pl...

Thanks again for input and recommendations. I have purchased 2 Belden 1695A cables (15 feet each) and also purchased the Klipsch R-112SW (managed to find a UK dealer who had stock). I'll start with one sub for now and see how I get on and may look...

I have the gain on the DAC on low, the level on the Yamaha set to +4dB (half way), and all the presets to zero/flat. I may up the mids and highs to see how that sounds but I think it might not be necessary. I’m happy with the sound when I play mus...

Ignore the centre speaker parts, I realised that I'm talking garbage. I have a stereo setup and centre speaker is for surround setups so it doesn't make sense. I also don't think I have the available ports on my preamp/DAC after adding a sub.

@auxinput apologies for the delayed response, it was my sisters wedding weekend. I have the Audioquest Redriver interconnects (XLR) from Yamaha monitors to DAC, and Lifatec Toslink digital cable from DAC to Satellite. I also tried the digital cabl...

@auxinput I have everything up and running now but I’m not entirely convinced of the sounds. Perhaps I have set it all up incorrectly or maybe I need to do something with the settings of the TV or Satellite?I feel like I need a subwoofer as the ba...

Would HDMI cable work from TV to NFB for getting 2 channel audio on Netflix?What about 3.5mm audio jack to RCA cable, would that work?Okay I’ll leave the EQ settings at zero. What about room control, what does this do? Does it have something to do...

Apologies, I didn’t realise that the TV has a built in Netflix app. Okay so XLR cables from speaker to NFB and the the optical digital cable from NFB to either the TV or the Satellite box. Do I need to worry about a particular length of cables lik...

Also, which audioquest cables should I be looking at? I don’t mean Big Sur vs Golden Gate for example, I mean the type of connectors on the end of the cable? I can’t seem to find the right type. The HS80M has XLR and 1/4” TRS jack. I should use XL...

Thanks, makes sense about the preamp/DAC. Looking forward to seeing what the NFB will do. I checked the back of the TV and the back of the Satellite box. The Satellite box only has two USB ports and 1 optical out. The HDMI and 2 Satellite ins are ...

Thanks for the clarification auxinput - I have ordered the NFB-28.28. I imagine it will take some time to arrive considering it's coming from China. Apologies, maybe I didn't ask the right question(s) or phrase them very well. My current understan...

I bought the HS80Ms (the second eBay link you sent me).I was able to hear them and I was thoroughly pleased :) The seller had them plugged into a sound card and that into a laptop. What benefits/differences will a preamp provide? Same question abo...

I’m going to pick the HS80M speakers up tomorrow, only an hour drive from me. Agreed £350 with the seller :)I’m also going to purchase the NFB and cables later on today. Then I just need to hook it all up and test it out - I’ll keep you posted wit...

Thanks for finding them on UK eBay auxinput. How do the HS80M compare to the HS8s? I may buy the one in the second link you provided but wanted to understand if there's a big difference between old and new. Do they handle detailed songs well?Also,...
