| necessity of 24/96 w/out dvd-audio...? Sort of like will racing gas help my Vdub? Will racing gas help my dragster? Yup in both cases. No speed limits at home.24/96 is a chip. Much like HDCD is a chip. HDCD was originally to decode their discs,but it improved non hdcd ones as well. 24/... | |
| coax Y connector My degree of expertise ain't much more extensive than Liz's. Some how I think it would work as long as both pieces aren't turned on at the same time. Hey,WE need some help here; anybody tried this?? | |

| biwire question - 2 cables - 1 banana? Your in a tough position. Budget wire connectors,no soldering abilities,no room to work. I guess that is between two rocks and a hard place.I'm not to sure that if you actually paid someone to do all this there would be significant gains anyway.So... | |
| Quantum DAC and Cesium Transport I home demoed them say 7/8 years ago. Good stuff;but not to good at the price point of the time.Stereophile gave them a class B rating..Was my feeling also.It aint no giant killer by any means. |
