| 3.1 or 2.1 Home Theater setup for desktop The problem with Sonos is that it only has HDMI/optical inputs. No USB input. Plus, if you really want a sub, $599 will get you a rocking Rythmic sub which is going to be a lot better than the Sonos for the same price.I would do this in stages. ... | |
| 3.1 or 2.1 Home Theater setup for desktop If you really want a center channel, probably the easiest way to do this is get one of the higher end multi-channel sound cards, such as one of these:Asus STRIX RAID DLX Creative Sound Blaster Z Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 etc.Then you'd h... | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables Be aware that thecableco.com only offers returns on certain cable lengths. They will offer return on power cable only if it is 5-6 feet. | |
| Using my new Nu PC Audio card You're in luck with this particular card because it does have a line level input. You will need a 3.5mm to RCA cable such as this one:https://www.ebay.com/itm/AudioQuest-Golden-Gate-3-5mm-Male-to-RCA-Male-Cable-6-56-ft-2m/351899557897...Or a chea... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Comments on the Nvidia Shield Pro. This is on the same level as the Roku and FireTV stuff, but includes some additional gaming functions (what else would you expect from Nvidia, lol). Not a bad thing, but you get what you pay for. Googling aro... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) @irave - I don't think there's anything that can do everything in one box and also be the best quality. Zidoo cannot play bluray discs directly. You can use computer software to rip blurays into an .ISO file or some sort of movie file, then stor... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Oh another thing, there are some media content that can only be available from a certain streaming provide. Example would be title like "Stranger Things", "Altered Carbon", "Sense8", which are all only produced and available from Netflix. Hulu a... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Ignore millercarbon as he always remarks very negatively about anything that is more than 2 channels.First, Plex is basically media player software, which can play media that you own. You basically have to own the DVD/bluray disc or actual movie ... | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass That's great! Good luck on the s/pdif. A USB/SPDIF reclocker like the Wyred 4 Sound "uLINK" can really improve your sound, but they can definitely get expensive. They are much better than the $30 converters on amazon/ebay. You could experimen... | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass Hi garbo. I have the same exact problem with my Oppo 103 player. When I stream netflix, it normally comes down in Dolby Digital Plus format. When I try to use digital COAX, it just doesn't work. I only get the left/right channel, or I have to ... | |
| Revel in walls speakers as ceiling speakers yeah, it would work. These two choices are so close, it would be hard to determine which is actually better. The tweeters and woofers use the exact same materials. If you can get the W873 for same price as C783, then go for it! | |
| Revel in walls speakers as ceiling speakers I would say it's almost a wash. The difference between 7" and 8" in this application isn't going to be much at all because you're not able to do a proper enclosure (you're using the inside of the wall for enclosure). The C783 speaker only requir... | |
| Subwoofer advice sought Just adding in. DBA setups do have the potential to give extraordinary bass. If you have the money and ability to implement 4+ subwoofers in a sealed room with proper inverting cables or circuitry for the rear subwoofers, then go for it! If you... | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass You are kind of stuck unless you get some other source that will stream netflix. You could try getting a low cost Sony bluray player. They are generally pretty flexible and they will stream netflix. I would suggest the BDP-6700 for $99 at a mi... | |
| Inexpensive AV Processor with bypass Is the TV your source? If so, then you are using a "SmartTV" that supports stuff like streaming. Most streaming uses Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Digital. It's possible you could connect the toslink digital output of your TV directly to your Pri... |
