DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I have not pulled the trigger just yet, I have been thinking very hard about getting the DAW and being done with it, but then I heard the yvette the other day as I was just stopping through the hood. They have a pair of DAW on consignment\trade in... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I think it might be a few years before a used set of DAW are on the market.Still teetering on the Sasha 2 vs Alexia 1. Seems the better value in the used market right now. These would be factory certified used to take advantage of the trade in rou... 
OPPO 205 set up questions
It should only be processed once if you do the analog outs on the Oppo, the recvr should just pass through and do volume control.The HDMI out on the 205 has some very nice clocking features to reduce jitter iirc, the sound via this link is superio... 
OPPO 205 set up questions
I Use Roon Audio to stream music t0 Oppo 205, Not sure on the 8802 for sound quality-DAC, Try using the HDMI via Bitstream, let the 8802 do its thing. Compare that the the analog outs on the Oppo.I found the Analog outs have a very nice warm sound... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
Actually having only heard the Alexia 2 (though the price is out of my range), I assumed that the Alexia 1 would be very good, not A2 good but great for a speaker in that range. I got a chance to hear the DAW and A2 in the same room, the DAW stood... 
Proceed AMP5 upgrade?
Now my quandary is what do I get to run the surrounds, for now I have the AMP5 just doing the 2 surrounds, its a lot of heat for just those 2 speakers, its high A bias make it pretty warm in just standby. I have been thinking about getting a Class... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I now have a pair of Classe Omega Mono's to drive them so  that is not a problem 4000w @ 1ohm !.  (500@ 8 doubling to 1, MASSIVE power supply) Sasha 2 according to Wilson is 2.17 @ 90, and the Alexia 2 is 2.54 @ 85.In any case I think I have an am... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
I agree if money were no object, but at nearly 10k less for a CPO trade in scenario, the Alexia 1 looks really good, to save even a few more buck and move up to the DAW (or whatever is next) in a couple years. I think either the Sasha 2 or Alexia ... 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
Thank you for that, the difference between the Sasha and Alexia is small enough, that the decision from here would be one of size, the Alexia are about 6-7" taller and a bit wider. 
Proceed AMP5 upgrade?
I ended up buying a pair of Classe Omega Mono's, and single CA-M400 for the center. Amazing. 
First World Problem in need of Solution
I use a simple XLR switch (DIY with high quality parts) to toggle between my 2ch tube gear to LR speakers, and use a classe CT800 processor, which by the way does digital music fantastically. I have an Oppo 205, that has 2 HDMI outs, one for audio... 
Classe SSP 800 Audio problem
Mine developed an issue and was sent back to Classe via my dealer, it was repaired under warranty. The factory reset is always a good first try after the obligatory "reboot" via power switch in back by cord to resolve odd ball issues. 
Classe Audio rises again
I have a CT-SSP and asside from it not doing 4k (frankly thinkg video should not be off loaded to the audio, and go directly to screen, like the Oppo 205) the sound is very good, I am pleased with it. I hope that they will be able to deal with any... 
Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems!
Sounds like, and I don't know the e series well, that a switch on the sub is (could be, is there?) set to High-level input mode something on those lines, If I have time, I will look them up online. 
Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems!
Make sure the sub is not set in Slave Mode, (not sure about the e110, I have F112's) what do you have the crossover set at on the subs? Does it have a reference and variable switch? ? Are you using the phase switch? How far away are the subs from ...
