| Which Denon Receiver for my home theater? It depends quite a bit on your speakers and your room. If the Denons are using Class D amps, likely at that price range, they probably can drive inefficient speakers, but it will probably be a dy sound. Fine for video, not especially appealing w... | |
| Marantz 17 series, especially the K.I. units. Your experience or knowledge. Marantz has a house sound, and my impression after hearing one of the KI units, an integrated amp sometime pre Covid, was that it was consistent with that lineage. Warm, excellent midrange, rolled off treble. | |
| New Kid on the Block Every one I know that has had an Ifi product reports some kind of reliability issue, with several returns. Not interested | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided Oldhvymec Digital has evolved significantly in the past 30 years (heck, I was using a 16 bit Sony CDP 30 years ago). Analog, not so much-except the price tag of the discs and the gear | |

| Seeing sounds and music..... Synesthesia. Scriabin was into it, big time | |
| How come no one talks about the BEST REMOTES?? Soix you and I must have gone to the same school. You didn't beat me up at recess, I hope | |
| I2s DSD The Tambiqui sounds like it could be a great DAC. I know that you can get DSD as you described, and there are other ways as well. I choose to do it by the method described above in my two channel system and then I use the SACDs in my multi chann... | |
| Seeing sounds and music..... Mahgister Do you listen to Scriabin? | |
| CD player recommendations If either one of your current players has a digital out, I would use it as a transport and get a DAC. There is m ore of a selection of good DACs in your price range than good CD players, and you can use it if you ever add another digital source,... |
