    DIRAC Target Curves

    I don't know if anyone would find these valuable, but there must be at least a few folks who would find these useful. Maybe even revelatory. These are target curve files to be used during filter creation in the DIRAC and DIRAC live process. There are files for DIRAC 1.* and DIRAC 2.* Some...

    Having trouble with Dante AVIO AES3/EBU Adapter and Foobar2000

    I'm trying to use a Dante to get ethernet to coax audio to supply a PCM signal to a DAC. I have a music server PC running Dante Virtual Sound card and Dante Controller. If I play a file in Foobar2000 that matches the bitrate I set the computer and the Dante receiver at, no problem. But if I play...

    End of 2017 - What's best in Home Theater Preamp / Processor

    I currently have a Integra DHC-80.3, starting to think about upgrading to something better. I'm not real concerned about ceiling speakers. I'm doing 7 channels (Martin Logan electrostatics) and 3 subwoofers. I have a projector, not yet 4k and I don't think I'll be getting a 4k projector before...

    When's the next Integra preamp coming? Will it be DHC-80.4 or something else?

    And will it have more subwoofer outputs? Or will another brand be the next big thing? Seems some brands are quitting the home theater pre / pro game (Denon) altogether or releasing entry level products and not flagships (Emotiva, Parasound, Outlaw). Seems like Marantz and Integra are the last...

    ServoDrive Contrabass: OK to lay down on its side?

    Madrona Digital is coming to install a TV projector tomorrow in my theater. I've had a ServoDrive Contrabass behind the flatscreen TV, but with the projection screen going there I won't have the space I used to have. I'm sure the installer will have some good ideas for rearranging things, but...

    Integra dhc-80.1 has turned faulty, fix or replace?

    It's locked up on me and otherwise failed for quite some time. Pulling the power for a few moments has fixed it up until yesterday when it got a lot worse. Should I get it fixed? What's the max I should spend on it or what should I get to replace it? Has a release date been announced for the...

    Integra playing subwoofer only for mp3 / flac files

    Something strange is happening with my Intgra. It was playing ripped music files (flac and mp3) from the home media server just fine all weekend and then yesterday it started only playing back through the subwoofer. I tried copying some files to a usb stick, but same thing. I must have hit a...

    Is there a wireless device to stream from a home av share to a digital output?

    I've got UPnP AV compatible NAS on my network, and I've like a device that can connect to my network wirelessly and give a toslink digital output for playback in an older AV receiver. It needs to be able to play flac files and handle multichannel. I'd like it to be able to do Netflix too. I...

    Laserdisc AC-3 to current processor connection

    I've got an old laserdisc player with an AC-3 RF output... How do I connect that to a current receiver that doesn't have that kind of input? I'm guessing it won't work in a coaxial digital input plug, yeah?

    2L: Nordic Sound - 2L Audiophile Reference Record

    Link to Amazon page I can't say anything about this disc better than what those who posted reviews on Amazon said. All sorts of classical music and some avant gard kinda stuff. Wish there were more pipe organ music. Something to really shake the house. This isn't all my kind of music, but...

    What sampling / bit rate would equal vinyl?

    OK, yes, I'm posing a controversial question, but honestly and with the best of intentions. I recognize that there's no quantification of either medium that will be fair to both formats. That at some point you have to call in a cognitive expert to weigh in on what the ear is capable of hearing...

    Is there a subwoofer amp with room correction?

    I have a ServoDrive Contrabass and I'm driving it with an Outlaw 200watt mono amp. I'm wondering if there's an amp available with room correction built in? Or should I just get an Integra 80.2 (or 3 when those come out) and let that handle the correction? I'm also using an old M&K 12 inch for...
