| Better Upgrade Path? Better CDP or add a DAC? Why not look at the best of all worlds - Oppo BDP-105? Great CD/DVD/Bluray player, excellent DACs (ESS Sabre 32), and it will alos allow you to stream from the internet and has network connectivity/playback? For $1,000 it's hard to beat this unit.... | |

| Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference Well-constructed cables of sufficent length are what is really needed. Spending uber-dollars on cables is not a wise decision - you would be far better served by upgrading your speakers and optimizing the speakers/room interaction...-RW- | |
| Speaker Placement It seems to me that 180 deg. would have you sitting between the speakers. and 160 deg. would be *extreme near-field. Maybe you need to check your math...-RW- | |
| Which USB Cable do you like using Wow! $800 for a 2 meter USB cable? Do yourself a big favor: Try to get one on-loan for demo purposes. Then have a friend switch between that $800 USB cable and a well-built $40 2 meter cable and do so such that you cannot see which cable is being ... | |
| Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators? So, you have what, 19 subwoofers in your system? I would think you'd be better served by selling all of those woofers and getting a nice Velodyne 15" or 18" DD Series or Optimum Series subwoofer.Not to mention how much floor space you're gonna re-... | |

| Oppo 103 SQ for SACD vs standard Denon 2900? I replaced a Denon 2910 with a 3910 and really liked that unit. However, that was shortly replaced by an Oppo BDP-93 and I couldn't be happier. Very solid build-quality, great sound, will play *anything* on a shiny disc. And it offers netwotk conn... | |
| Why will 4k/8k matter? It won't matter much for quite some time. Are there any movies being produced at 4k resolution? Secondly, unless you're sportinyg a 120+" video screen, you will not derive any benefit from 4k unless you sit 3 feet away from your screen.Most folks ... | |

| Maggie 3,6's with levinson 20.amp any thoughts Maggies thrive on high-current, high-power amps - they need amps with lots of "balls" to sound their best. Find some of these and your system will surely sound better...-RW- | |
| Apple lossless -vs-24/96 You would need to re-rip the CDs using something like dbPowerAmp. But I fail to see how taking a 16-bit, 44.1kHz file and then padding it to produce a 24-bit, 96kHz version would provide any benefit at all.Your time and effort would probably be mu... | |
| When does seller's responsibility end? And how, exactly, does PayPal propose to determine if the USB input is faulty? Are they going to send out an "audio expert" to inspect the unit and determine if the input is faulty? Of course not. I absolutely will NOT conduct any more transaction... |
