    How to EQ (for headphones) the output of an AVR?

    Hello! My Marantz cinema 50 has limited equalization possibilities, on the headphones output. On the autoeq website, I saw that even with headphones which are already well balanced like Sennheiser HD650, there are worlds between the final results of equalizing with such a simple system like an...

    How to use AVR to listen to multich music from PC (display issue)?

    Hello folks out there! Any hints on how to listen to multichannel music with an AVR, from a Windows PC? Connecting via HDMI creates an additional "display" were you may move your mouse pointer to, and -even worse- applications may start on that display, and you aren't able to grab them and...

    Communication between PC and Focusrite Scarlett 18i20

    Hello! Is the following flow actually possible? My idea is to use the focusrite as a kind of source selector (not both active concurrently), and the PC with JRiver, hosting a Bass Management DSP (redirecting bass from the front speakers to a pair of stereo subs) and Dirac Live DSP. All the...

    Multichannel amplifier, analogue only? (No video section, but with volume control)

    Hello All, are you aware of modern multichannel amplifiers without all the decoding stuff? I have a PC as source (5.2 configuration), a Focusrite Scarlett as DAC and would be happy with such a device. In detail I would need, in the same envelope, a multichannel volume control with remote, 2...

    Set of SMSL50 as multichannel power amp?

    Dear All, looking at the prices of multichannel power amplifier, I was asking myself why not stacking 4 SMSL amps (as I already own one) to create a power amp. Major drawback I see at the moment would be the mess of 4 power supplies and related cabling... Or am I simplifying too much my very...

    ESI Gigaport EX USB Multichannel DAC ...is it asynchronous?

    As per title. I am interested in this multichannel DAC, and would generally prefer it against an HDMI DAC (like the Essence Evolve, for instance). However, I can't find information on the web if the ESI is actually an asynchronous implementation. Thanks in advance for any hint. Kind regards from...
