Kana813 has a good point. Shipped mine off to Great Northern Sound Co for them to play around with and mod... On its way out was around 60% on for redbook performance against my Spectral SDR 2000/3000 reference, came back and gave about 80%-90% depending on the disc. Add the fact that it plays SACD and DVD-A with stunning results, one great piece of equipment...
Esoteric DV-50: Tweaks, Up-sample settings, etc.
Hello All;
I would like to hear from DV-50 owners out there who have fine tuned their units with various powercords, isolation devices or stands, EMF/RFI tweeks, cables etc. Have you found an Up-sample setting that seems to work well, most of the time, with all discs? I have found that some older discs do not benifit from up-sampling. Are you using the single-ended or balanced outs?
I am currently using the XLR outs with HMS balanced cable, but the gain is super high.
What is the consensus on the ground wire hook-up?
Are most of you using it, and if so are you grounding to the pre-amp, amp or to the screw on the receptacle cover plate?
Leave the unit powered up all the time? Shut down occasionally?
I really appreciate, in advance, all of your input regrding these subjects.
Thanks; Tim
