| ? about oppo G4M,Thanks for correcting my Oppo URL mistake.The 20 volume steps could be an issue for many people depending on the gain of their amp. In my case, I can simply turn down the gain of the amps (volume control on each speaker's built-in amps), so ea... | |
| CD Player into amp? RW,You are correct. The Oppos have remote controlled variable volume. However, I believe it is a digital domain volume control which drops bits in order to decrease the volume. Digital volume controls have generally been attributed with losing som... | |
| ? about oppo Dwhitt,I waited for some other responders to reply first because I was the person who recommended the Oppo/powered speaker setup in response to your previous post.As you already know, I use an Oppo player connected directly to a pair of powered sp... | |
| Why the small "letterbox" Look on the DVD case to see what aspect ratio the original film was filmed in. Your TV is 16X9 (1.77:1) aspect ratio. Some DVDs are 1.85:1 (close to 16X9) and some are 2.35:1 which will require black bars across the top and bottom in order to disp... | |
| CD Player into amp? Dave,I've previously owned a Cary CD-308. The volume control on the remote did control the variable output of the CD player. I would test it to varify that it works, but I'm fairly certain you are "good to go" with the remote variable volume contr... | |
| CD Player into amp? I've had many CD players with variable volume control connected directly to power amps. If you have a single source system (CD only) it can be a very economical way to go. You obviously save the cost of an extra interconnect cable and pre-amp. I'v... | |
| Few Problems with Computer as Source Sounds like "lack of sync lock" between the source (toslink output) and the DAC. I've heard what sounds like a similar sound between a regular CD transport and DAC too. Do you have the ability to try a different "transport" like a CD player or DVD... | |

| Loud Humming. Sounds like the classic ground loop problem caused by cable/satellite TV connection. Larry is right, this problem is so common that it has been covered many times in previous post. A search of the archives will provide you with various different b... | |
| How to add a Subwoofer to 2 channel stereo setup? AON,Typically an active/powered subwoofer will have both line-level and speaker level inputs, speaker level outputs and sometimes even a line-out. If the sub has a line-out, you can connect the subwoofer in a "loop" between the pre-amp and power a... | |
| Amp switcher for 2chnl to HT? It all depends on how you have it connected. If you connect your CD source and any other 2-channel music sources, directly to the integrated amp, and not through the HT receiver, then the HT reciever doesn't even need to be turned on when listenin... | |
| Amp switcher for 2chnl to HT? Jeff,Yes, you will be sending the signal for the L&R front channels through 2 pre-amp/volume controls when playing HT sources. It is not the optimum setup, however it will not cause any problems. Considering both pre-amps/volume controls are o... | |
