| Amp recommendation and setup advice please FOR TV SYSTEM: To connect satellite to Audio-GD: Blue Jean Cable Beldon 1694A – 6 feet. I always recommend 6 feet even if the satellite receiver is right next to the DAC. A digital cable that is too short will have signal reflections internall... | |
| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? website response has been really good for me this afternoon. | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please Ah found it:C-CAM—a thin, light, and rigid alloy of aluminum and magnesium with a ceramic (alumina) layerRead more at https://www.soundandvision.com/content/monitor-audio-silver-10-speaker-system-1#iPmjhjbLRtu2OmEk.99hopefully this helps. | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please Emotiva 6s. For $100 more you get larger drivers, twice as much power, twice as much weight in the cabinet. The 6s will play lower (bass) and will have a more refined sound in comparison, so it is definitely better. I was just trying to play ... | |
| Picking an amplifier Wow, that Asus Xonar HDAV looks like a good find! The “Deluxe” version has good power supply sections and looks to have good TCXO clocks. However, it appears that Asus only developed drivers up to Windows 8 for this. (Windows 8.1 and 10 are n... | |
| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? yup past several days have been really painful. I can't tell you how many times I have written out 3 paragraphs of text only to lose it when the "Post Your Response" button fails out. I have started writing the post in MS Word and then copy/past... | |
| Picking an amplifier By the way, I use a Xonar Essence ST (PCI version). I have played around with upgrading op amps and this definitely improves the audio. However, I am using the Essence card just to do digital COAX output to my external DAC. I do not have any pr... | |
| Picking an amplifier Hey there, I totally understand wanting to wait and do things one at a time.It appears that the card holds its own in most catagories, but comes up short in catagories such as soundstage.You might be reading about the card's analog output. I am g... | |
| DAC upgrade or Amplifier Looking at the internal architecture, the Sony HAP-Z1ES is a significant/huge upgrade from your Cambridge DAC Magic. However at $1259 used / $2k new, it uses up pretty much your entire upgrade budget. It leaves nothing left (in your budget) for ... | |
| Picking an amplifier Sounds like you got a great deal on the Anthem 50!By the way, did you get one of the Xonar Essence cards? Or are you waiting for a used "ST" to come up for sale?I do see that B&H Photo has a used "STX II" PCIE with the better TCXO clocks for ... | |
| Picking an amplifier Those are really old (2001-2002). If you want something newer that is within budget, there is an Integra DHC-60.5 home theater processor on ebay now for $439 from a seller that has 100% positive feedback (csdsl2000). Original retail was $2,000 and... | |
| Picking an amplifier I would probably jump on that Anthem if you were interested. I have posted this statement in other thread, but the HT Processors really don’t keep their value at all because of the perception that you need the latest and greatest digital decodi... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please Wow, you’re in UK? That does make things a lot more difficult because most sellers in USA will not ship to UK. Okay for your TV setup, I would nix the idea of an HT Processor because it is going to be hard to find something that can ship to... | |
| Picking an amplifier by the way, that NCR division directory story was totally funny! | |
| Picking an amplifier That is not the Xonar card I was recommending. The Xonar "DS" model is a 7.1 audio gaming card. It does have an spdif output, but you will have to do a mod to wire it into an RCA output, like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7CLneUAnRw By t... |
