Excellent Power Supply Solution
The noisy PS is 12-18 vdc, that I'm using, it should to work. ay? This power supply is a single voltage output.  You can choose either a 12V model or a 24V model.  If your equipment has a dual voltage requirement or a special type of power suppl... 
Excellent Power Supply Solution
Just keep your digital gear & SMPS type psus and walwarts AWAY from your analog gear. That is all you need to do. They may affect your analog gear but they will have NO effect on your digital stuff This is actually inaccurate.  The power s... 
Audio problem with OPPO UPD-203
This might be a compatibility issue on the Theta processor when doing certain bluray audio formats.  You could try discs that have different audio formats:DTS-HD MADolby TrueHDDolby Digital (compressed, usually on a DVD)DTS (compress, usually on a... 
Minimum HDMI cable length to avoid refection
2 meters.  However, some cables may work "okay" at 1 meter.  All HDMI cables will "technically" work at 1 meter, but you will find there is a loss of high frequency audio detail as well as some video sharpness that is lost at the short 1 meter len... 
B&W vs. Sonus Faber
B&W on the other hand will grab your attention immediately. Once you take them home, YMMV. B&W D3 are a very revealing speaker and can be picky with components.  The amp/preamp can make or break this speaker as I have heard D3 sound like... 
Surround setup problem
I don't know.  Try another bluray player? 
Surround setup problem
I’d like to make some HDMI cable recommendations for your Ayre DX-5 DSD player. Since you don’t actually know what cable you’re using, it’s probably not super high end (but I could be wrong).The best "new" cable for the money is Nordost Heimdall 2... 
B&W vs. Sonus Faber
I own B&W D3 speakers, but I really like the sound of Sonus Faber when I have heard them.  McIntosh room at RMAF 2018 had some Sonus Faber bookshelves that sounded really special.  However, Sonus Faber with their soft dome tweeters is just a l... 
Projector Power Cords
I have seen significant improvements in video quality when upgrading the power cords directly connecting to the display device.  The last 3-6 feet of conductors in the power line are the most important.  I've also seen big improvements when using ... 
What player to stream Amazon HD with?
The Nativsound is likely an excellent platform.  I would ask if they use a linear power supply.  It may be one of the better platforms because of a good digital clock (looks like a TCXO).  But it's expensive, yes.For a much cheaper alternative, yo... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
I have owned a Lampizator L4 G4 (I believe that was the number) and it was ok but the soundstage seemed larger than believable at the expense of resolution and dynamics Yep, that's exactly what I heard too.  Notice that I said that it was "not... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
I have heard a higher end Lampizator DAC.  It is very organic and romantic sounding.  Maybe not totally accurate or realistic, but extremely pleasing to listen to.Another R2R candidate you may want to look into is the Audio-GD  R-7 ($2668 USD).  O... 
how to set up good home theater sound (and picture)
The PS5 is also an internal switching power supply.  I don't know how good it is for disc playback.  Most bluray players nowadays are also switching power supply (so is Oppo).  You could try to get an Oppo 203 and then upgrade the power supply to ... 
how to set up good home theater sound (and picture)
Another thing.  Putting linear power supplies on your FIOS One and/or Roku type streamer will significantly improve the audio/video quality of these devices.  However, none of these streaming devices are going to hit the same audio/video quality o... 
A/V Processor and Amp for B&W speakers?
That's a really good price for the A5000, if it's in good condition.  Since it's missing the microphone, it's likely missing several other pieces.  Dod you get a remote control with it?  The Yamaha is likely not going to have bass/midbass that is ...
