| To Preamp Or Not To Preamp,That Is The Question Mikey,The Quad 99 CDP or 99 CDP-2 is a very good sounding CD player when used direct to amp. It also has multiple digital inputs, so you can use it as the pre-amp (switcher) for multiple digital sources. I had both a 99 CDP and a 99 CDP-2 a few ye... | |
| To Preamp Or Not To Preamp,That Is The Question Mikey,Many fine CD players from Theta, Wadia, Resolution Audio, Cary, Quad, etc., have variable volume control. I've owned CD players from Quad, Theta and Musical fidelity which had variable volume control. I've also owned DACs from Monarchy and B... | |
| To Preamp Or Not To Preamp,That Is The Question Hey Mikey!If it sounds good to you, don't mess with it!I've used CD direct over the last 10 years with most of my system incarnations. For me, it is a good value decision. I don't spend funds on a pre-amp that is not necessary, I save the audio ra... | |
| Good integraded w/ over 3 optical and a USB input? Yes, a DAC with multiple optical inputs and a usb input, connected to an integrated amp would do the trick. However, I'm also not familiar with any DACs that have 3 optical inputs as well as a usb input. There might be one out there, but I'm not f... | |
| Good integraded w/ over 3 optical and a USB input? I am unaware of any 2-channel integrated amps that have multiple optical inputs and a usb input. There are a few integrated amps out there that have either one coax or optical input or a usb input, but I'm not familiar with any that have both.If y... | |
| First toe dip into the digital stream I agree with Hellofidelity. Keep it simple with iTunes. In addition to choosing a lossless codec (I prefer AIFF), also be sure to turn on error correction in the "import settings" of iTunes. The codec setting and error correction can be found by o... | |
| resolution opus 21 cd player OPINIONS PLEASE I've owned one, twice in fact, and wish I still did. Great player, great company. Just the fact that it has been out for so long, with very few changes, is a testament to the product and the company.If I were to invest in a high end CD player toda... | |
| Denon Receiver as Pre-Amp with Linkwitz Orion? I took a quick look at the specs. for the Denon AVR-1910 and I did not see any analog pre-outs for L&R (or center and surround) speakers. The only analog outs I see are RECORD/TAPE which will not work because they bypass the volume control, an... | |
| Any cheap powered speakers with digital coax input I ended up buying a pair of Rowland/Cakewalk MA-15D studio monitors for $179. The Cakewalk monitors have toslink and coax inputs and analog inputs via standard RCA connectors. For our first movie night I connected the projector using the headphone... | |
| Any cheap powered speakers with digital coax input Shadorne,I did specify cheap. The AVIs are $2999. A bit beyond what I consider cheap, but thanks for the recommendation.Edo,I will also check on using the headphone output connected to a pair of powered speakers. Thanks for the idea....Enjoy,TIC | |
| Any cheap powered speakers with digital coax input Thanks for the replies. I did find the Cakewalk MA-15D for $179 street price and they have digital coax input. In the mean time, I went into my handy dandy audio closet and pulled out my RedWine Audio Reali-T which is a battery powered class-T amp... | |
