    Repeatedly blowing channels on MCA-50 amp?

    I have a Marantz AV8802A connected to an Anthem MCA-50 for home theater use (front/center/right only). I had the MCA-50 repaired by Anthem/Paradigm in 2018; the capacitors were replaced on all five channels. (I'd like to downsize this whole system, but that's a question for another thread.) A...

    USB-C laptops (M1 Macbook Air), USB-C hubs, and DACs

    I recently purchased a Macbook Air (2020 M1). It comes with two USB-C ports and not much else. Looking over threads here and reviews on Amazon, it seems like everyone should be wary of which USB-C hub to buy, but it isn't clear which one to *actually* buy. Does anyone here have a laptop/USB-C...

    Oppo PM-3 Owners Thread

    Hi folks, I think a few people on this headphone, but I didn't see a thread for it (if we do, #deleteme). It's my second planar magnetic, after the HE-4XX, which I didn't enjoy much. My only real point of comparison is the Drop 6XX, which has a bigger soundstage (duh) but doesn't sound like it...

    Qobuz

    I'm trying out Qobuz, to see if it can unseat Spotify. Qobuz has "better audio quality," or might, if it worked. I didn't see a thread via search that this was appropriate for, but if it should be moved, NP. Linux - Linux subsystem can't handle variable bitrate streams? OS limitation, not app...

    Low-cost 4K streaming/switching solution w/2 ch audio?

    Hi all, I am currently using a Marantz AV8802A as a processor in a 2 ch setup. It's not the right tool for the job: it's made to do 13.2 surround, in multiple zones, with inputs from a dozen devices. Is there a better, cheaper solution? I could sell the Marantz for ~$1500. Requirements: Input...
