| HDMI ARC or Optical out ? I could be mistaken, but I thought there could be some compatibility concerns when using AT&T with Toslink. | |
| Should I buy a VTL Siegfried mk1 basically new 700 hrs? Years ago one of the dealers I dealt with told me that as much as they liked their products; they dropped the line, because they were impossible to deal with. | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? ^How much was spent on maths studies?:-) | |
| HDMI ARC or Optical out ? In addition to what already has been mentioned; HDMI will transmit the greater bit rate width for some protocols, but optical is more galvanically isolated.FYI, some of the better glass cables come from:Lifatec. Wireworld and DH Labs. Perhaps not ... | |
| Tact 2.2Mini Firmware Updates I don’t know if it’s still up and running, but there used to be a TacT users group up on Yahoo. I seem to recall that like some other such Yahoo groups it might have been hacked.I don’t know how far you’ll get, but it might be worth reaching out t... | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp ^Hearing something different and appreciating what it does, is one thing; living with it long term is another. | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? IMO, From most to least important:1. Budget2. Room3. Speakers4. Amplification 5. Sources6. Cables7. Rack | |
| HDCD ^I believe all but the last generation of Oppo’s were capable of HDCD decoding. HDCD’s will play on standard CD players, but without the benefit of the HDCD decoding. I’m a fan of HDCD. Some of my best sounding discs are RR HDCD’s. | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp @chungjh, While not my cup of tea; I have to respect Spectral for being amongst the top of the heap for "resolution". | |
| help please? connecting power amp to streamer/dac without preamp? ^An analog volume control might bring into play other considerations.Ideally, one would find an amp that meets the loudspeakers requirements into load, and that has an input sensitivity for full power output that matches the output voltage of the ... | |
| help please? connecting power amp to streamer/dac without preamp? While it appears as though the Bluesound uses a 32 bit chip, which ordinarily would have extra chip data to avoid bit stripping with volume attenuation. But, the Parasound has a 1 Volt input sensitivity for full output, which would require a halvi... | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max When I suggested the c-js, I did so because I think they are really quite good and in part because they fit in well with systems that are otherwise built around tubes. If you want an amp that demonstrates distinct ss prowess, there might be some o... | |
| what's going on with specs? @mrklas, ha! Perhaps? | |
| what's going on with specs? @mrklas, specs don’t matter until they do,I confident that in some situations that vey same amp won’t perform as well as many amplifiers rated much higher.And the specs sure come in handy for such considerations. | |
| Are Pre-Amps necessary? FWIW, and at the risk of appearing wishy-washy and probably not satisfying parties at either end of this discussion, I think both those opposing ends are both right. On the one hand, for some active line stages are liking rolling down hill with on... |
