| dts 5.1 fold down to stereo better than cd? Click the "i" button on your Oppo remote and it will tell you whether the source is dts or mlp as well as the sampling. I presume you are linked to a monitor as the default layer of a DVD-A without selecting could be anything depending on the disc... | |
| Focus on 24/192 Misguided?..... Well written, interesting, provacitive. This coincides with my recent experience with forays into SACD & DVD-A. The overriding contribution to good sound (IMHO)is what I would call the production values( the care and equipment used in recordng... | |

| RCA / BALANCED OUTPUT I don't understand why you would want to buy a balanced only CD player if every thing else in your system is RCA?I am not aware of any player having balanced outputs that does not also have RCA (unbalanced outputs). There is no advantage to having... | |
| What's the best AES Digital Balanced cable you eve I'm not sure which cable is used in the Mogami Gold.You can make your own cable at whatever length you prefer from Mogami 2552 and Neutrik XLRs. The 2552 is specific as a digital cable and is 110 ohms (important). This is cheap enough to use as a ... | |
| Oppo 95: Sound compromised w/var. audio output? I also read that at 32 bits there should be room for no compromise, but i tried it (easy to do) direct to my amp & didn't like it.Probably depends on your preamp. | |
| Sony DVDAudio and SACD Get whichever Oppo meets your price. Be prepared to hook the player to a monitor in order to play DVD-A, as every disc brand has a different path for the menu to be able to choose surround or stereo (or DVD Dolby). Sony never supported DVD-A(MLP) ... | |

| Can I take American equipment to Europe? Number 1 recommendation is to have it modified internally by the manufacturer or a very good technician using their instructions. Next would be to use a transformer from 220v to 115vm but for the gear you have, you will need at least 1200w, and it... | |
| M2Tech hiFace192 + Theta Gen Va synergy? Thanks for the clarification. I wan't trying so much to compare the hiFace to the Legato as to determine the relative importance of the power supply and the jitter reduction using a crystal oscillator ( which I remember from ham radio in 1960).I f... | |
| M2Tech hiFace192 + Theta Gen Va synergy? Mryan, Thanks for your response. Did you compare the HiFace directly to the Legato through the Theta Gen Va?I read the info on the Legato and they are not clear on their "very well designed" clock. The hiFace uses a crystal, very precise and cheap... | |
| Windows XP or Windows 7? Petty Officer,Just click on the review link on Blindjim and follow the directions on his M2Tech review. You will have to google for instructions on setting up the defaults on the Exact Audio Copy and Foobar software. BTW I recomend Win7 for the ad... | |
