Half the information on CDs is analogue
Exlibris,May be your system is very resolving and sensitive to changes. I have never heard the slightest difference in one digital cable from another. 
Half the information on CDs is analogue
Sean, Take an analogue source, record it onto a CD and then compare the original analogue source to the digital "cloned" recording using the same playback equipment. If you can't hear the difference between the original and the "digital clone", yo... 
Half the information on CDs is analogue
Exlibris,I have found differences in DAC's but these are usually very subtle, most often a slight difference in the treble and often not enough to make me worry that much. The only relatively much larger differences I have come across are all asso... 
Half the information on CDs is analogue
Exlibris, I am afraid the IAR stuff does not agree at all with mathematics and science. There are indeed many deficiencies in digital, it is far from perfect;- proper filtering must be applied in the studio prior to digitizing a signal in order to...

Sdatch,CD uses Solomon Reed coding to protect data integraty ....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed-Solomon_error_correctionThis means that small analog imperfections have no influence on how the CD sounds, as the data is completely corrected for e... 
SPL meter subwoofer tuning

Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V?

Sean,The DAL V's might NOT be a narrow dispersion "design" but they do throw out a narrow dispersion pattern, this is well known being quite senstive to adjustments of toe in. As I stated, this is not ideal for HT where a broader dispersion patter... 
can the Behringer have multiple settings?
I understand what you mean ...Red Hot Chilli Peppers Californication album has evidence of severe soft limiting everywhere. Stadium Arcadium is bad too.Lenny Kravitz certainly likes to use distortion for effect....his version of American Woman bei... 
Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V?
one of the things i,ve noticed when i had my Dunlavy,s is that as stated by John Dunlavy in the owners manual you should place them across your long wall in your room with more distance in between them than distance between the speaker and the sw... 
acoustic treatment?
You may be experiencing quarter wave cancellations off the rear wall (= comb filter at listening position) and room modes.Quarter wave cancellatons (troughs and bumps) can be reduced by moving the speakers away from the wall. Unfortunately, due to... 
can the Behringer have multiple settings?
Do you have some examples of specific rock tracks that sound bad? Can you describe the poor sounding problem (with Rock)?

Best lines in a song
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door (Paul and John)-----------I'm bad. I'm bad. You know it. (Michael Jackson, and we didn't know it then but we do now)-----------And the men who hold high placesMust be the on... 
Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V?
Chris,Long reverb time can be mitigated with plenty of acoustic treatment...if you can accept to hang many panels around the room (especially the rear wall behind your listening position)....
