| Oppo BDP-95 sounds GREAT? I can't offer a specific suggestion on the below $100 limit but you could source 5 or 6 feet of power cable and the 2 end terminations and build your own (DIY) for under $100. It doesn't take but 20 minutes to build one and you have little investe... | |
| What Audio Show to Attend? I would suggest attending the upcoming show in Montreal and then RMAF (if you don't find anything at the Montreal show.Also from the Calgary area I have been fortunate to have been in Montreal on business (well timed....) and made my way to the sh... | |
| VAC Sig Ren MK2a Headscratcher Fp, are you sure about the DNA-500 being 500 w/ch in Class A? If we are talking about the amp made by McCormack I believe it is an Class AB design although I don't know how many watts are in Class A? A buddy of mine owned one a while ago and I don... | |
| Best 2 Channel SACD with Analog Outs I've owned a ton of them over the years but the Marantz SA-11S2 and the Sony 5400ES were my last 2 prior to the 95. I guess strictly in terms of sonics I prefer the 95 to the Sony (the unit I had before the 95) but its a toss up against the Marant... | |
| Best 2 Channel SACD with Analog Outs why would you need a monitor? Because if you play a blu-ray disc you need to see the menu? I can advise that the OPPO "sees" the format of the disc and plays accordingly. Once you set the menu to 2ch Vs multi-channel it will always play that layer... | |
| BluRay Player Recommendation I own the 95 (same video chip as the 93) and it was pulling double duty in my HT & 2ch set ups. I got tired (lazy)of swapping it around and bought a Sony 580 for the HT system and immediately noticed a loss in detail the OPPO offered so based ... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? Bav,thanks for the dope on the LS-26 not being the upgrade path. Guess when the time comes it will have to be a Ref 3 or maybe an LS-27... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? does anyone know if the LS-26 is open for the same upgrade? | |
| Best Canadian Made Whiskey You can add in Gibsons rye to the list. Competes very well with CR and CC. | |
| ARC LS-27 or ARC ref-3 As an owner of a low hours LS-26 I too have considered which would be the right move to make and canvassed the opinion of someone who reviewed the LS-27 and as I do not have his permission (because I haven't yet asked) to post his comments he will... | |
| SACD playback thru Bryston BDA-1 I think if you can alter the output from DSD to PCM on your dvd player it will send the PCM data via coax to the coax input on the Bryston? I don't dabble with these things so I am probably wrong.Also if your dvd player will output the dsd stream ... | |
| Onda Cables RMAF, anyone hear them or opinions ? Not sure they were at RMAF but I understand that they were at the recent show in Toronto known as TAVES. Do a search to find some feedback. I should look these guys up as I am 30 miles from them... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers not saying it ranks as the one of the best as I am no burger expert but worth mentioning...The "Say Uncle" burger at Hydra steakhouse/restaurant in Sandpoint, Idaho. 16 oz of very tasty sirloin split into 2 patties - not for the faint of heart. | |
| simaudio 605i 750 cd vs bryston too many unknowns here mainly the speakers you will be matching your gear up to...While there is synergy within components don't pin yourself in a corner with having to acquire all the components from the same manufacturer (IMHO) although I will s... | |
| OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet? No the 95 does not always convert DSD to PCM. You can set the menu to output DSD at the analog outputs. There is lengthy thread over at AVS that will pretty much tell you everything you want to know about the 95 |
