| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor It took me more than 30 minutes to read the OPPO 105D manual I found online. Therefore, I can't edit my previous post and I answered some of my own questions.It appears I can set the center channel speaker to "off." Can someone confirm that this... | |
| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor If I were to get a used 105D, would it work in this configuration --HDMI from PC to Oppo for future 4K passthrough (I don't have a 4K projector yet) and 7.1 audio decodingUSB from PC to Oppo for higher resolution stereo audio (advantage?)HDMI out ... | |
| Pass Labs vs Mark Levinson vs Parasound - best 2 channel amp used under $2,500? I bought a recapped Levinson 333 for $2700 a few weeks ago and love it, but I don’t have anything in this price range to compare to, so I realize my comment isn’t terribly helpful. | |
| Power Cables Power cords are directional because one end is terminated to plug into the wall or power conditioner and the other end plugs into the audio equipment. I can’t remember ever seeing one that wasn’t.Really interesting that the article above says the... | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar Interesting. My Vidar has never gone into protection mode driving my N801s. I’m selling it, though. I bought my end-game amp. | |
| Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar? I have owned both but I have not had both at the same time or with the same speakers. My Vidar is currently for sale (idk if I’m allowed to plug where here or if it matters, but you could find it easily enough.) For my speakers, I decided to go w... | |
| Speakers or amp to be upgrade? Why change anything if you love the way it sounds now? The hobby doesn’t have to be an endless pursuit of something. Get to where you love it and be done with buying stuff. | |
| First Foray into XLR Why replug all cables in a system before auditioning new ones? | |
| Interconnects and non-believers I used to love my big V8s too. E39 M5, Corvette Z06. Then I bought a 911 and man is that whole chassis and flat 6 fun.As for the EE degrees, I have one and I had a coworker who was a signals guy (Intel) who swore cables would make no difference ... | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Dweller, why so rude, my man? Brian’s sharing his opinion based on his system and makes it clear that it’s his experience. Instead of disputing his claims, you’re just attacking him. If you have a specific technical question, ask. But you’re m... | |
| Airist Audio discrete R-2R DAC, at an unbelievable $350!!!!! I don't want to buy now and wait 6 months or until they finally get their production issues sorted out. The guy who is claiming the design is his really missed an opportunity. If he had product ready to go right now, he could have sold me one of... | |
| Airist Audio discrete R-2R DAC, at an unbelievable $350!!!!! I have been trying to figure out what price point DAC I should get and I think I am going to order this one. A bunch of people seem concerned that the ladder DAC design implementation is copied, but they have provided a side-by-side photo of seve... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers A different way of saying the same thing, Devilboy, is that some cables alter the sound in such a way as to make the bass less clear, the timing less precise so that the soundstage isn't as wide, and affect the sound in other ways. Using words su... | |
| Schiit not shipping I got my Saga last month a few days after I ordered it. I am pretty sure it said at the time that the Freya was backordered. Hopefully they can resolve their supplier issues. I bought my Vidar on eBay because they were backordered. | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? I would be very curious to know what you think of the Freya if you try it. I have a Saga and I think it sounds fantastic. Super low risk to try, and I would be surprised if you returned it based on my experience. I wish I had a few different pre ... |
