Recommended DVD-A Titles?
02-14-06: EldartfordTvad...Are you multichannel? If so there are some really spectacular discs I could recommend.Two channel only. Some great suggestiones in here. Bonnie Raitt's "Road Tested" may be my top concert DVD, and at least in the top thr...

Maybe they have a sound that is appealing to some and not to others.Immense truth to this statement.

She's helping pick out blinds, bedding, furniture and lighting as well. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a brand new room all loaded up and ready for action.Including sheet plastic? ;) 
48K, 96K or 192K
02-14-06: Kr4Well, the reason for limiting the output bandwidth is to account for whether or not the device receiving the output can handle it. If you send a 24/192 signal to a DAC or receiver which can only handle 24/48, the extra bits would be t... 
Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?
...in the sixties, it can't have been easy finding LPs with only a black light to guide you and no short term memory... ;)That was certainly half the fun of vinyl playback in the seventies. Those double album covers made great tools for separating... 
Recommendation on hard driver based CD player
Here's one option from McIntosh. There are more devices like this coming. I read about them monthly in "Sound&Vision".

Tonypony asked, I thought, some good questions:Is the Cat5 a shielded design? What are its fundamental electrical characteristics? In some uses (like a tube pre into a low input impedance SS amp) the reactance of the whole circuit comes into play,... 
48K, 96K or 192K
Oh. Thanks for the clarification.One question, though. If 192khz passes all info through, why have three available settings on a player? Why not simply have 192khz as the default setting?Jwilt mentions his is an upconverting player. The 192khz set...

Agree with Unsound. Muted, non-reactive colors which don't reflect color back on the screen are best if the dedicated room will also be used for home theater. 
48K, 96K or 192K
02-14-06: Kr4DVD is up to 24/48. DVD-A can be anything up to 24/192, at least in 2 channels, and up to 24/96 in 5.1. So, set the output for 192kHz in order not to down-sample and mangle the best discs.KalKr4 (Threads | Answers)Perhaps the setting ... 
48K, 96K or 192K
Jim, DVD-A is 48khz/24-bit, so I would say set your player to 48khz. 96khz and 192khz are upsampled options for experimentation, but 48khz is the straight-through setting.BTW, DVD-A is stunning IMO. It has phenomenal resolution and maintains the d...

Avoid cool colors...green, blue.Consider warm colors...deep reds, cranberry, eggplant...and dark tones. I personally find a dark room the most conducive to listening and getting lost in the music.Lighting is as important as paint.Or, play it safe ...
