| Best AV processors for under $10K Dbphd - I am no expert, but here goes anyway. Corrections welcome.Bass management is just what you think it is. It simply separates the frequencies into separate channels, as you describe. If you set your mains to crossover at 80hz, the frequencie... | |
| Best AV processors for under $10K JDUB39 - does the Marantz do bass management for DSD by changing it to LPCM? My guess is it converts to LPCM. Most people who use DSD do not want it converted to LPCM. | |
| Are You Using A Separate DAC With Your Oppo 105? Kal - Oppo already does DSD from SACD, so I assume you mean they are planning to implement DSD decoding from the USB/coax inputs, correct? Have they committed to this ? Thanks for the heads up. That could be a game changer for me. | |
| K2 HDCD Recordings Looks like Music Direct removed the K2 HD CDs from the HDCD category. Very quick response. Seems like it was a careless oversight. | |
| Vinyl to Digital: Software or USB Converter? Under $500 for line level A to D via USB. They use the output from your existing phono pre.HRT Line StreamerKorg MR-2No experience with either of them. | |
| What's about EDGE Audio ? I believe the I3 was a foray into lower cost, Chinese made products. Quite different from their high end products. | |
| K2 HDCD Recordings I sent customer service an email about the situation. Let's see if they correct it. They have a lot of K2 HD CDs labeled at HDCD. | |
| K2 HDCD Recordings Most K2 HD CDs are not HDCD encoded. I looked at the picture of the CD on Music Direct and it does not look like the CD is actually labelled as HDCD. It is labled as K2 HD with CD separate from the HD. That is typical for K2 HD CDs. I think you ha... | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker Audiojan - so you have the official list price? Is it the $5,495 posted above? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok2id - Glad you concur on these selections. Not all main stream, but great jazz.I only have Kid Ory on vinyl, so cannot speak to the CDs. But, try 1 or 2 just to see the style. I doubt any of them are up to current recording quality standards bu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A lot lot of the obvious ones have been mentioned, but I want to give a shout out for some of those Sonny Rollins Way Out West, Saxophone Colossus, Tenor MadnessBill Evans Waltz for Debbie, Sunday at the Village VanguardJohn Coltrane Ballads Miles... | |
| Any impressions of CHORD or Mytek DACs? User impressions of the new TEAC are also good and it does DSD at less than $900. | |
| Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote Cary SLP-05 is balanced and has a remote that does volume and mute only. It a two box system, but you can stack them. | |
| Trying to choose between 3 DAC's One issue to consider with the MF M1, is that JA's measurements in Stereophile show that it's output is limited to about 50 KHz, which means its 192 KHz digital may not deliver much different output that its 96 KHz input. I think that is still tru... | |
| Anthem AV receiver better than Denon as a preamp Paraneer - Your observations were very useful and appreciated. I was not trying to be critical, just trying to point out the difference between you auditions and the OP's setup. |
