Cable Box Digital 5.1 converted to Digital Stereo
Thanks, I will try the optical output. However, my Dac or the Tascam recorder does not have an optical input. But, I do have an optical converter to RCA coaxial.I'll give it try this weekend. 
Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic
It's amazing how different things affect our systems differently. For me, I wasn't too impressed.I tried all of the Akiko versions. The sticks, RCA, power, etc. The only place I noticed a minimal improvement was on my DSPeaker for my subwoofers. S... 
Cable Box Digital 5.1 converted to Digital Stereo
Kr4, Thanks for your comments. The HDMI signal is going to my TV.More info:I own a Tascam DA-300 recorder. With this recorder, I could record hours of uninterrupted music then edit what I would like to keep to an external hardrive. So, I guess my ... 
Cable Box Digital 5.1 converted to Digital Stereo
Labtec, Thank you for your response. My cable box provides no option. Having the digital cable from the cable box plugged in to my Dac gives me a static signal. I guess you would say my cable box outputs Bitstream that requires it to be decoded in...

The end of pono?

Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ?
Zd542,Dtc,Thanks for the help. So far I have made 9 recordings from DVD-A's and I am really enjoying the results.I think, as I monitor the outputs from the Tascam I could try 24/96 and compare that to 24/192. 
Passive radiator
What exactly is a passive radiator? Is it a speaker with a magnet? 
Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ?
So far I have recorded from 3 DVD-A's in 24/192. The results are outstanding! Brings back the days of recording to reel to reel.Question:When should I record with 24/192 or 24/96hz? 
Using Magnets

Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ?
Looks like the Tascam DA-3000 recorder will be received tomorrow. I plan on starting with the Doors Perception DVD-As. I might have to wait until the weekend to get the recording process just right.Heck, I'll even use the ultra bit solution and us...
