| Budget DAC vs Budget CD Player? It is a good idea to have a spinner as a backup in case your computer based system goes belly up, you don't have to be totally without music on those occasions when you're really on the mood to hear something. I have a Denon changer, and it cannot... | |
| What Does A USB to SPDIF Converter Allow? Most of the USB converters I know of have only usb inputs. You would not be able to use them with a transport unless the converter had optical or digital coax inputs. I think the synchro mesh by empirical audio will do what you want, re-clock the ... | |
| Should I burn these? I bought a pair of Bose 2.1 bookshelf speakers in 1990. I still have them. Stopped listening to them about 5 years ago, have had them in several garage sales and up on Craigslist, no takers. They really are terrible, bought a pair of B&W 685s ... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? An audio shop in cherry creek, Denver. refused to play my music on the dynaudio confidence, forced me to sit in front of focal 726s, which would have been ok if they had been powered by decent 2-channel gear, but no. The room was full of home thea... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice I'm projecting bias? Are you serious? I am making recommendations based upon years of purchasing thousands of $$$ of used gear on this site. I haven't even gotten into the warranty issue, a 2 year parts and labor warranty is very desirable on a pi... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice it is my understanding that high definition audio requires too high a bandwidth to stream via cable/satellite/over the air. I don't know when or if this will happen; it depends in a BIG way on our infrastructure. The network gear most cities have ... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice I'm a blu ray fan, and I don't have to buy them. blu ray is readily available at any number of mail-only outlets. high definition video and audio is here to stay, it isn't going anywhere. If you haven't gotten on the wagon, and don't intend to, we... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice Running a blu ray movie's audio over digital cable instead of HDMI, you will lose the high definition audio quality that blu ray can deliver. high-def audio presents an easily heard improvement that even non-audiophiles can easily discern. Almost ... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice I think optical cable is bandwidth limited, and cannot carry high resolution audio that comes along with a blu ray signal. Even if optical cable had the bandwidth, you cannot split off the high resolution audio (Dolby True HD for example) from the... | |
| Lack of bass with mac mini mp3/apple lossless file Rezanazari, haven't heard from you yet on the first post, are you using your home theater's sub when listening to music? My AVR has settings that will only use the front speakers if I want, I think it is called "standard" or something. I typically... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice I might be opening up Pandora's box here, but here goes:this relates to high res music files. If you rip a CD to your computer, that music signal is a 16 bit, 44.1kHz signal. Modern music recording is usually done in a higher resolution these days... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice Woops, you're right, didn't look at that back panel closely enough. Yeah, I thought $650 for pre-outs was a great deal! I took a look around and I don't think this option can be had on a new receiver for less than $800, +\- | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice Definitive Technology for the front array: CLR center and ProMonitor 800s, on this site, for $344 total.NHT supersub for $220 on this site, variable gain and crossover.Used receivers with current HDMI capability are VERY rare on this site, I would... | |
| Hook up Plasma TV to Audio system You also have to consider what kind of audio you want to send out of the TV to your receiver/DAC. 5.1 surround coming over the air through a digital antenna is almost always piped out of the TV's optical input, but audio coming thru HDMI (high def... | |
| B & W fans Cat, IMHO, any all-in-one product has no chance against an integrated+bookshelf combo, so I'm glad we agree there, now the choice is, which speakers to mate with the Denon DRAN product? Can you audition it with the B&W 685s? |
