I spent today with the DV-50 and the Accuphase DP-77. The bass came through the DV-50 with video off and an aftermarket power cord (listening through a Headroom Cosmic Reference Headphone amp and Ety ER4P headphones). Accuphase was forward and rich. Both sounded good. The Tri-vista had a sweetness to it though. Maybe it was me, but it seemed more "musical"/"magical"... I don't know, maybe it was the glowing feet... but the bass seemed to have a better shape and I seemed to get a better sense of the instruments and their position in the sound field.
DVD-A on Krell and Trivista and DV-50 question
I went to audition players yesterday and was surprised to see both the Krell and Trivista play DVD-A disks that I brought. I haven't seen much written up about the players' ability to play DVD-A disks. For the Trivista, how does the audio play? I assume its read as SACD, but plays through the CD path. Sounded pretty good (through probably not at the highest SACD resolution). Can these players play the high-resolution 2 channel layers?
Was going to get a DV-50, but the Trivista sounded better to me (I brought a headphone amp and Etys for auditioning).
For those with DV-50s, does the DV-50 have some kind of bass management? Me and my friend had a problem hearing the bass from the DV-50 (on SACD and CD). We were wondering if the unit had bass routed to a subwoofer.
