| Picking an amplifier Just googling around. Not sure if you found this, but the Musiland digital times does indeed have a Windows 10 driver:http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/50430/musiland-digital-times-transport-review I may have to try this card out sometime... | |
| Picking an amplifier That’s an interesting find. It’s hard to know for sure from the description if those RCA sockets are COAX SPDIF or if the card only supports toslink. You are paying for 7 analog channels, however. I think the Xonar Essence will still be better, bu... | |
| Power Cords @guidocorona @ricred1 I whole heartedly concur with a couple of your statements on being objective. The idea of someone pushing a statement as the be-all-end-all "fact" and then continuing on a rant to try to force this idea without offering any o... | |
| Musings on Switching Power Supplies (LPS for Oppo / DirecTV/ Radiance) This next step in the process came about a day after the Teradak was in the mix, during burn-in period. I found that the audio had suddenly become a little bright/harsh again. After extensive testing, what I found was that the fuses and power ... | |
| Musings on Switching Power Supplies (LPS for Oppo / DirecTV/ Radiance) Okay, so what’s next. There’s still those switching power supplies in my DirecTV receiver and Radiance video processor. Upon investigating, I can see that the switching power supply adapters clearly show voltage specifications: Radiance: 12V... | |
| Musings on Switching Power Supplies (LPS for Oppo / DirecTV/ Radiance) First step was obvious. I had been looking at that Oppo linear power supply on the OPPOMOD website for a while now, but always thought that it was lower down on the priority list. Well, obviously, it just rose up to priority #1, lol. So, I pu... | |
| Power Cords When you take a look inside the Marantz products you see the cheap parts. This proofs how limited they are. The company who does the technical support of Marantz in my country told me hoe poor the parts are they use.I would highly caution everyone... | |
| Power Cords @ricred1 - I don't know that the older Audioquest power cords were that bad. The cord itself (such as NRG-4) is very good, but a significant amount of the sonic signature is also determined by the terminations, which were typically gold-plated. ... | |

| Power Cords @ricred1 - it's too bad that you don't live close to me (central California). I would love to see how some of my "built" power cables stack up. Usually, when cable companies move up in their models, they always go to silver / silver-plated compo... | |
| MARANTZ 8801 passing 4K???? The AV8801 has HDMI 1.4 inputs/outputs and will pass some of the original 4K formats. A lot has changed since then and the 4K formats have gone through several iterations. You will need something that has HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 to make sure you sup... | |
| Proceed AVP sub output and output connections questions RCA output is already 6db lower than XLR, so if you are using XLR outputs for your left/right channels, the subwoofer needs to be adjusted at least +6db. If the bass is still not loud enough in relation and you are using an external amplifier for... | |
| Picking an amplifier I have used JRiver for several years now and I love it. It is highly configurable. If you have a weird driver/pc/audio situation, odds are that JRiver can be configured to work with it. It supports kernel streaming modes (which may or may not w... | |

| Scam dealer on Ebay? I have often seen items on ebay with totally insane prices. The items tend to stay listed for years without selling. A lot of times, these are from Japan listings. Gotta wonder what these people are thinking. Examples are something like Krell... |
