I would also consider a decent DAC if you're really wanting to stick with the SAT as your main source.
where do i go from here?
i have a denon 3802, and a conrad johnson amp (100w)i use from the pre outs, pair of paradigm 9mk11, paradigm ps1000 sub. i am looking for bigger sound stage and more brilliant sound. what is my next move? i use the denon on direct using the satalite as a music source and i doubt that will change. i listen to alot of 2 channel. i have no prob with the 5 channel theater. do i hook the cj dir. to the dish with a volume control? new speakers or separates? any help would be wonderful thanks bryon, i am a member
