| YouTube video music Really? I had no idea! Youtube has always sounded rather lossy to me. Does Apple TV somehow get a different stream than would otherwise be available? Are you streaming youtube from a device such as Roku or Amazon firestick? Like I said before... | |
| Please suggest a really cheap SPDIF coaxial BNC cable for testing if my DAC is working alternatively, you could get some RCA-to-BNC adapters from Monoprice. They are basically $1.33 each, plus shipping. | |
| Amplifier suggestions please You do realize that cabling is available which has both the XLR on one end and RCA on the other, which does in fact exhibit the same benefits as the "XLR only ", cabling right? While cabling does exist with this configuration, this really isn... | |
| Please suggest a really cheap SPDIF coaxial BNC cable for testing if my DAC is working The Beldon 1694A from Blue Jean Cable. BNC/BNC terminations at 6 feet for $21.50 plus about $8 shipping. This cable is actually quite good and I found that I liked it better than some other more expensive cables (in the $50-150 range).You can ha... | |
| Panasonic DB-9000 Ultra Blueray Player I doubt it. Like I said, Hollywood gets really picky with these bluray audio formats and licensing restrictions on how they are played through a normal bluray player. If you are using a computer for playback, then the software you use is likely ... | |
| Amplifier suggestions please Some additional comments. Below is link explaining what I did to Emotiva Gen 3 DR2 amps, which helped but still did not provide super deep strong bass (example of switching power supply):https://audiogon.com/listings/lis9gcd5-emotiva-xpa-dr2-2-cha... | |
| Panasonic DB-9000 Ultra Blueray Player It is likely a licensing issue restriction that is built into the Panasonic firmware when playing MKV media files. It is likely that bluray players will not play these hi-res formats (Dolby Atmos / DTS HD) unless they are read from an actual blur... | |
| YouTube video music Thanks for that link to the mini keypad/touchbad! I've forwarded that on to a friend of mine who uses a Mac Mini to do youtube and streaming in his audio room. It would be a great replacement for the normal mac keyboard/mouse.There's another ide... | |
| Dolby decoder with digital output (downmixed to 2 channel)? Not sure if this will work, but you might try an Oppo 103/105/203/205. These have HDMI inputs you can use and can be configured to down-mix everything to 2-channel PCM on the S/PDIF output. It might work for you. | |
| YouTube video music @elliottbnewcombjr - are you running an Intel or AMD cpu? What video card are you using? | |
| Amplifier suggestions please Parasound has excellent clean midrange, decent bass. However, the highs are somewhat dry. A BLUE fuse at the mains will probably help this.For what it’s worth, Parasound A21+ has 1.3 kVA transformer.The ATI AT6002 has 2 x 900VA = 1.8 kVA transform... | |
| Amplifier suggestions please @samac - by the way, your URL to the rotel page in Music Direct is malformed.On the topic of Rotel, the Rotel RB-1590 is an absolutely excellent amp! It's not a fully balanced/differential amp circuit (if that matters to you), but it's got an ex... | |
| Amplifier suggestions please I've actually got a ton of experience with all generations of Emotiva amps. I'm not pushing emotive. It can be a great platform to modify/upgrade, but the stock amps can be bright. The Gen 3 is not recommended because of switching power supply.... | |
| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? Most of you are generally going to use stranded wire conductors, so awg is not so critical. Of course, you'll have more capacitance issues with larger awg, so don't go super large like 16awg or larger. Instead, do multiple wires of 20+ awg if yo... | |
| Krell Trio 300 vs. Krell Trio 300 XD However, little bright and too “rocky”. I suspect that this problem is coming from somewhere else in your system. As you found out, the sonic signature between Trio and Trio XD is not really any different. These amps use Krell's newer sliding ... |
