| Looking for way to get good audio from netflix Does the Roku have an optical output, if so, run the audio through that into your receiver. cut the TV out of the signal path for audio if you can. I looked at the Roku's back panel on the internet, I see an A/V outlet, but it doesn't look like an... | |
| Help with new system Have you considered the Peachtree Nova? Integrated amp with award winning internal ESS Sabre DAC. | |
| Looking for way to get good audio from netflix I have a Sony Bravia that streamed Netflix with a dongle, and I could not get multi-channel out of the TV's optical port. Network stations coming in on the digital tunre put out DD+ just fine. I had to go to a separate component to get DD+ from Ne... | |
| Looking for way to get good audio from netflix Netflix does stream surround sound, limited to 5 channel currently. I use an Apple TV and the multi-channel indicators light up when surround sound is fed. I have talked to them about this on the phone, and not all movies are streamed with surroun... | |
| Which preamp with Quad 12L Quad makes great gear. I have auditioned their new stuff, including the 22L2s, and I was very impressed with the sound. The styling of their gear looks a bit odd to me tho.I read that the Touch has a very good DAC already; that Emotiva unit I sugg... | |
| Which preamp with Quad 12L That is what I was thinking. Benchmark has a version with a remote volume control, too. Have heard that these units are very revealing, almost to the point of sounding "cold," but that depends on your ears, your music, your speakers, your amp, and... | |
| Changer OK I misspoke, the C222ES, C333ES, and C555ES do not have variable outputs, per the manuals on the Sony site. I did a not-so-quick search and found that the CDP-C87ES and CDP-CA9ES units do have variable outputs. I'd stick with an ES unit if you b... | |
| Blu ray upgrade? Denon/Marantz/Onkyo receiver will be no match in 2-channel for a separate pre-amp in the vast majority of cases. I built a separate 2-channel system because I was so disappointed in the 2-channel music quality coming from my Denon 3310. Consider t... | |
| Ipod newbie question? That would be the "Pure Music" dock, Kbarkamian, I think | |
| Changer It sounds like you are searching for variable outputs, if I read your post right. The only recent changers I know of that have this are some of the Sony ES units, the 333, 555, maybe even the 222.I had a college roommate who had a Sony ES changer ... | |
| Ipod newbie question? you would need a dock that pulls the digital signal off of the iPod before the iPod converts the signal to analog. The Wadia iTransport dock does this. Place you iPod touch into the Wadia dock and go with digital coax from the dock to your DAC. Th... | |
| Totem Arro vs Silverline Prelude vs Salk Songtower I also auditioned the Minuets at RMAF, in the same room with the same music, and I did not like them at all, IMHO they could not compare to the Preludes, but YMMV... | |
| Totem Arro vs Silverline Prelude vs Salk Songtower I heard the Preludes at RMAF this year and I was impressed with their imaging, neutrality and frequency range. Only tested them with vintage Bowie tho. Not sure how they'd do with true full range music. Have not heard the Salk or Arros. | |
| Blu ray upgrade? I have tested dolby digital 5.1 vs DTS Master Audio 5.1 on my Denon gear, just to see what the difference was between standard and high definition video. Note that all audio was transmitted via HDMI cable, so this is not a test using the analog ou... | |
