I wonder how these issue's are handled in a CD or Blu-ray player. The Denon model, DCD-900NE CD player boasts about up sampling everything before the analog filters ( AL32 processor plus ) and I believe most of Sony's Blu-ray players do not have a 44.1khz setting for the digital coaxial output...

Simple, mindless and easy the clear definition of pop music. Remember intellectual rigors are discouraged in order to sell ( anything).

Apparently it looked good on paper, but like Amir has pointed out before, some companies do not test there products'.

At five thousand dollars that product is a complete fail.

How do I set up REW for measurements and then interpret?

I've been battling my own 4-way passive set up and can certainly emphasize with the project. I basically had to remove the drivers and start over with a better, flush mount baffle and offset the tweeter and midrange. The measurements were only slightly better looking but there was an overall...

I was wondering why the general consensus is to not try and eliminate frequency nulls, but spikes or peaks can be effectively cut down some. Does it have anything to do with the DSP algorithm, some programs may be better than others, or is the result just horrible sounding.

I bought my Benchmark amp for all the same reason most people bought there's, and it has proven to be worth every penny. Longevity and serviceability, if necessary, being the main points. As far as class D reliability is concerned, it looks like the module kits that are sold have a higher...

I too purchased the R700 and returned them, but for a different reason. The down firing sub-bass port just didn't play nice in my room. They sounded pretty good at loud volume though.

It still looks like a solution looking for a problem.

Wasn't the original premises to help eliminate counterfeit records, to "authenticate"

I've been listening to the program, "Hearts of space" for over 40 years now. Steven Hill puts together a great weekly program.

I used 3/4 inch acoustic panels, that I cut up and lined all side except the front ( where the drivers are mounted ) nothing loose or in-between the sides. I believe the material is cut up cotton fibers, and is very dense. The speakers are heavy and do not vibrate at all. I'm looking into buying...

I used both of mine just yesterday, truck with manual transmission and record player. A fair comparison, but not completely accurate. I don't know anybody who wants to listen to inferior equipment, but the personal driving experience is more interactive, involving more than just ears. Is there a...

I have the same two units and my experience is like yours. Just guessing here, but if you listen to the DAC you can hear the power supply, but not the amplifier. Clearly a completely different design for obvious reasons.

We have all seen the stair stepped sine wave depiction of music that the Hi-res audiophile world has advertised. This depiction is incorrect with music, but that is exactly what a, DC to AC invertor sine wave looks like. I lived off grid for many years and used a couple of different in...

I use a Furman M-8Lx in my office, Surge suppression only.

What I'm hearing is that it's to much work to stand up and change a CD. Does everybody just sit in front of a computer now days, cellphone in one hand and the other, God knows where. Really, have people become that lazy?

I think I understand your explanation. Amir test's the stand alone DAC's at 24 bit, and I think all fall short of that number.

Thanks for the CD player review, I like the change and still use all my old players. I am curious as to why the players you have tested all fall short of the 16 bit or 94 db CD standard.
