| 840C as a DAC. What do I need Your computer would be better because you can simply use the digital out from it into the DAC and then anything on the computer can be played back. You can even download some hi resolution stuff and use it with the DAC. To play back the iPod simpl... | |
| Preferred Audio Output, USB or 3.5mm? I know most DACs that use HDMI for I2s only but they should use regular HDMI. HDMI will transmit SACD, DSD, DVDA, FLAC and every other HI REZ format I know of. USB is good but limited to what HI REZ formats it can transmit and so is SPDIF. Plus if... | |

| Rip stereo to mono It still easier to convert the stereo signal to mono using Y cables. | |
| What Solid State Pre-Amp compares to ARC LS-26 As I've said many times the PS Audio PCA-2 is one of the best line stages out there. It's just so inexpensive used no one believes it. The build quality is great. If you can find the outboard PS it's even better. | |
| Rip stereo to mono Wouldn't it be easier to make the rooms mono? | |
| Multichannel SACD over HDMI The standard for HDMI 1.2 is that is that it will allow SACD multichannel to be sent digitally to a processor or receiver.All universal players should follow these guidlines to be rated for HDMI 1.2. Of course I don't know if it means output in DS... | |
