Denon 2900 - Problem with DTS on Kill Bill Vol.1

Jdcrox,Are you sure that the coax digital was enabled on your soundboard? Must are disabled by default. I have a friend that is running his computer into a 950 via coax digital.Later,

It's hard to beat the the outlaw stuff at that pricepoint. A lot of bang for the buck. Easy to deal with the people there, also.Good luck, 
what if you put too much lead shot in your speaker

Freezer Cryoed Cables...
I have to admit that about 15 years ago, I put a B&K amp in the refrigerator for a few days (wrapped in plastic of course). I let it sit at room temp for a day before hooking it up. I have to admit that the sound did change for a few days, but...

Sometimes you need to drive a Porche 911 GT2 to realize how slow your Miata really is. A reference CDP can make regulare CD's sound as good as SACD's. Now, imagine what a reference SACD player would sound like; a whole different level. 
Went to see Bond last night-Don't criticize me yet
Agree with you about the first album. I like the second a lot also. I missed the Cray concert. I was unable to stay awake that night, so my wife went with a friend. She said it was a good show, that's all I got from her. I did see Norah Jones. Mos...
