best DAC for PC server
Hey guys,the DACs you mention all use a USB connection so I would obtain low jitter from my PC based transport but would any of these combo's live up to the CD12 in terms of absolute quality?Is the USB interface the sole reason for these units per... 
good amp for b&w N802
another vote for the pass x350....or 600 if your pockets and room are big enough. 
b&w htm2 vs. matrix 805 for center
The Nautilus HTM2 is voiced differently from the matrix range. I tried one a while back with my 802s3 Matrix speakers and it was definitely noticeable in its difference.The standard Matrix HTM was better at integrating even though it didnt handle ... 
Is Exemplar the answer?
I just asked EAD about a 3V input to their unit and got the following reply. Any thoughts?1) The maximum recommended input on the 8-channel Analog Direct input of the TheaterMaster 8800 is 2.0 Vrms, although hard clipping does not occur until 2.6 ... 
Is Exemplar the answer?
I have been having some problems with my Exemplar 2900. This post is meant in no bad way to John, some of the issues have been caused by my own addition of a SDI output board for outputting video which appears to be causing issues with the standar... 
system opinions?
mejames....could you elaborate which bits are the scary bits for a novice like me please?How do you know whether to use absorbtion or defraction at different room locations?What ever happened to plug and play!? 
system opinions?
Thanks guys. Ive posted some pics and ETF measurements on my web site. I think you can see what issues the room is bringing to the equation, especially in its untreated state.Its pretty horrible - the decay time from a hand clap 'sounds' by ear to...

Steve,Please dont apologise for not knowing something you obviosuly know! Thank you, you know more than my dealer!I'll give it a go when the v3 ROM arrives.Have you found any tweaks that the 8800p responds well too? Isolation, power cables etc? Im... 
ead 8800pro sub question
Does anything else change apart from the sub being activated when I set front speakers to small? They are revel studios which are hardly small range speakers?Should I leave them set to small for all modes (music and movies) or can I set them to la... 
ead 8800pro sub question
I read the manual and couldnt fin anything in there.My dealer told me if you go into stereomode and select a sub it would enable it, but as far as I can tell there is only one sub setting which applies through all 2.0, 5.1 and 7.1 modes. With my o...

Exemplar 2900 or AA Capitole ii
Unfortunately my unit seems to have been effected by the flight from us to uk as the exemplar outputs dont work. Johns been helpful but its looking like its going to need to go back for some of his TLC. 
Exemplar 2900 or AA Capitole ii
John doesnt add the SDI board, I had to do the work myself.I feed the SDI digital video feed to a faroudja scaler and then into a sony g70 projector.I previously used a panasonic rp82 via SDI which is ranked the number 1 player on secrets test.www... 
Exemplar 2900 or AA Capitole ii
I also added a SDI output to my exemplar 2900 which provides a digital video feed to my scaler. Video quality is first rate.This is now the finest universal player available IMHO. 
Revel Studio Discussion- Everything Studio Here
Ok, the big day is nearly here. The new room is almost complete and the speakers are currently winging their way towards me.I'm currently trying to decide on 'rough' placement for the b15 sub, and this decision may depend on if I just use it for t...
