blu-ray audio
Carlos, I don't understand "will despite everything I have the lossless blu ray files." Are you saying that you are feeding a dac with a spdif converter and are receiving lossless, or are you asking a question?  
soundstage question
Many thanks; your responses are greatly appreciated. I'll take Erik's advise and get the tv in first and then tweak in accordance with your suggestions.  The first issue I will need to address is whether to use a small stand, wall mount or  shelf ... 
blu ray coax out
thanks - am I correct that the reason coax down converts is not due to bandwith limitations (my legacy dac which uses coax is 24/96) but rather a protected audio path issue? If so if I use my computer to play blu rays with any dvd hd (a decrypter)... 
Should I eliminate my preamp?
I went from a tube pre to a passive to a direct connection.  The passive had more detail than the tube pre but sucked the life out of my system.  When I eliminated the passive (and the additional interconnect) the direct connection maintained the ... 
blu-ray audio
Thank you. The software (jriver) is decoding the lossless audio to pcm and that is being transmitted (downmixed to 2 channel) to the usb dac.  Q is whether licensing or bandwith limitations would prevent this - I would think not - it sure sounds l... 
tape out for phono stage
to bypass the active line stage - I prefer a passive  
blu -ray audio
Thank you.  Really just looking for the best sound quality preferably in the original mix.  I'm using a computer for my audio/video and to be honest bly-rays are a PIA and I'm satisfied with the video quality of upscaled dvds (actually in some ins... 
basic passive preamp
Looks like the luminous is perfect - is the sound quality comparable to say a Tortuga or a placette?  Also, I would imagine there aren't many of these on the used market - should I purchase direct through the manufacturer?  
basic passive preamp
Thank you - in response to the question source is nad cd player and amp is nad 2600, but those may change.  George I didn't understand your post re what are on ebay for under $100.  And how does the sound quality of the Schitt compare to the other... 
sub 2k phono stage
My passive is a modified QED MA-34.  Running it to modified quicksilver M60 monoblocks. 
subs for LFT-8bs
Thank you, bdp24.  I don't believe I can send you a pm through this system, though.    
subs for LFT-8bs
Thank you, bdp24.  Would it be possible for me to contact you directly?   
subs for LFT-8bs
thanks. using a computer as player - directly to amps - no preamp - was using a passive but this sounds better.  Sounds great - only issue is with blu rays - one solution would be to avoid blu ray altogether and just play dvds.    
Review: iFi iPhono Preamplifier
Audiofun, thank you for the review. I am in the market for a SS phono stage and the Klyne 7PX and benz lukaschek were recommended. I use an ifi dac and and am considering the ifi phono.   Are you familiar with the Klyne and how the ifi compares? J...
