    I forgot people think answering questions with questions is anything other than confusing and in poor decorum.

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    This question is somewhat off topic here regarding the DAC. But, does denons pure direct mode completely bypass the DAC IC’s in their receivers, even from a usb or hdmi port? I’m trying to determine how much better if any it’s pure direct is. I only use room correction for under like 400 hz for...

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    If I can get a little financial support to buy a snake camera from Amazon…. $40 I will find out in a few days, what’s is now in a v2 x4700h. I already own it so I’m willing to wait and find out. But if someone’s eager to know, I’m game.

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    I’m just thinking about the cost associated with a good DAC, I really don’t like the idea of spending any more than I have to rectify a decision of denons.. Havin said that I feel the $40 I spent on caps is the best money spent per performance as I’ve already rebuilt my crossovers. I get a LOT...

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    I wrote to the owner of audioholics, seeing if he can do anything to communicate with sound United about the dacs. It’s an integrity thing they are marketing these for sale all over the place with guts they no longer have. Their product info is misrepresented nearly everywhere. I also have...

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    Your probably right, the implementation of their new design could have as large an effect as the other changes. I’m starting to feel my limiting factors of my speakers, speaker cables, and ultimately the product being a upper mid tier product are probably more limiting than what they chose to...

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    How can anybody answer a question on motive when pricing for these chips and labor regarding changes aren’t provided. For me this is a hypethrtical assertion, that doesn’t help us get an inch closer to the fact of the matter, what is being used for dacs in the various denon and maranta ranges.

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    My 4700 did sound good, in fact it sounded impressive prior to my having to open up my speakers and trouble shoot an issue. This led to me having to cut my tube connectors wiring and I’ve since soldered it back on but it’s crazy how much difference that made in the clarity, a proper demo of my...

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    Man that’s awesome, but I wish you had a x4700 to look into. I wonder though if you can help provide instruction on how to identify the dacs, without tearing down a unit, thus voiding it’s warranty. Although layout is significantly different from 3700 to 4700, I’ve had both.

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    My only reasoning there is denon Japan doesn’t stock carry or mfr the denon x3700h and thereby a solution may be necessary for that model specifically that wasn’t implemented on the others. (Side note they don’t mfr the x4700 either but do the x6700, so perhaps since the two both use al32 and...

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    You’d be of a lot more assistance if you could provide information that hasn’t been readily circulated around the world for months. Like what the change has been to.

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    Did you find anything out? I have also bought a x4700h v2 and while I think it’s safe to say it received a bit more love than the new 3700h’s pcm 5102a’s. It seems to still only use two new dacs that are 32 bits do you photos of the new DAC ic chips from denon Japan.

    What are the replacement dacs being used in a denon x4700 ( and x6700h) with serial number greater than 70000. The v2 units with updated hdmi boards. Got a new x4700h and would like to see if I can find out what DAC is being used, inside my return window. Denon responded to my inquiry saying...

    Hi, I recently picked up a refurbished denon x4700h that has the new hdmi board and a “7” in the fifth digit from the right. I did request an old one but this is what came. My question is, do we know definatively know what dacs are being put into denon for a replacement of the AKM DAC of old...

    SVS SB-2000 Pro vs SB-3000 Subwoofer Review

    I’ve owned klipsch subwoofers and they ran near silent. While all powered speakers and passive with amplification have driver noise it’s not suppose to be audible across the room and 3-4 times louder than a tweeter hisses when an amp is at near max volume. you may have low expectations for your...

    SVS SB-2000 Pro vs SB-3000 Subwoofer Review

    I’ve been reading and researching about this hissing sub ordeal with svs subwoofers. This thread was of interest as I’ve recently bought a svs sb-3000, that hisses pretty loudly. I use my sub in 2 positions; near-field and across the room for home theater. It’s the noise floor in my entire room...
