Hi posters,and happy holidays. Guess I'm the only one on the planet who is delighted with DSS audio;movie or music stations. I find the music only stations better. FYI: 3 year old Sony sat2,converted to coax out. Purcell upsampler,Theta Gen5 a W/ 24/96 Sy. Research expensive as hell dig. lincs and ic's W/ active sheilding.Cat 3 Jadis 7,mk4 Aerial 10t's King Cobras Top Gun etc.No it don't sound as good as Theta data3;but damm close.It is to die for! I was dissapointed when I had MSB do the coax.3+ years ago.Who cares;but my receiver was 800 new,I paid MSB $400 for the first mod.Then had Theta do their $1000 mod. $2200 into a receiver?? YUP! I previously had cable and the DMX.radio box.(4yrs ago) It came with a coax,and killed the Sony with the toslinc. I knew there was better,and had to have it .
Comment- "CD" Quality of DirectTV&DishN.
(THIS POSTED UNDER AUDIO ADVICE/ BUT I AM REPOSTING HERE AS THIS FORUM MAY BE MORE APPROPRIATE-- SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST) I have the "CD Quality" package with my satellite service (Dish Network), which is a bunch of "audio-only" "CD Quality" channels (no commercials and channels are separated by music type). This is a great idea, but I have found the sound quality to be horrible. Anyone else agree or disagree? What about Direct TV's audio only channels? In fact, I think that the audio accompanys the video on movie stations is better than the audio only channels, do you agree? Here is the setup, I have the digital optical output of the dish satellite box connected to a digital jitter filter, which is connected via coax to a separate D/A converter, which is connected vai balanced XLR into a high quality stereo (sonic frontiers/ Vandersteen). I thought I'd have some cool sound, but the popular stations sound thin, veiled and are virtually unlistenable. What does everyone else think?
