| Best subwoofer for 2 channel Hi End system 1) Aerial SW 122) Revel B153) ML Descent4) The other stuffI listened to everything, and wanted the Aerial, but found the $1.5k premium over the Revel to be too much. So I ended up with two B15's. If you think two is too much, then you don't know a... | |

| Can a DAC help? Sorry - clarification - 5.1, 7.1 et al are resolved in the preamp, receiver or whatever, assuming you're using the coax out. If you use the analog outs, then the DVD player is resolving the multichannel.I was thinking of DVD-A, SACD when I write t... | |

| inexpensive transport for benchmark dac 1 Careful on the Pioneer DV47. Mine was a complete POS, taking three trips back to the shop before it quit for good (wouldn't power up) a month ago. My dealer whom I trust says it's very uncommon, but that was my experience. | |
