I'm exploring options with my local Richer Sounds (who have a listening room) I think I may need to take my Yamaha in to test drive with potential systems (or use similarly power rated amp)..

Would this work? I'm revisiting the issue (still have the Cerwins - AT100s and xls215s !) Would an active subwoofer (?Q Acoustics or SVS) and sensitive mid/high range speaker (if they exist) be a good compromise?

Yes I tried that as well (with digital optical output only selected) - still got the buzzing

Thanks Digital optical out --> external Topping DAC --> RCA to 3.5mm cable --> Logitech Z623 2.1 speakers I tried restricting C5 digital output to PCM only (rather than auto) but that didn't solve it Weirdly what did cure it was changing C5 sound output to digital out+TV speaker (rather than...

Hello Following my recent query on this forum, I purchased a Topping E3011 Lite for my new LG 55 C5 tv. After setting this up, the Live TV works ok but all streaming services just make a horrible buzzing sound I can't see any setting which might fix this Can anyone advise please?? Thanks

I already have my beefy Logitech Z623 2:1 system which I really like & and want to continue with (hence the original post)...

Thanks It does seem like there is no way to control the optical digital volume of C5 with tv remote (and my Logitech system doesn't have remote control), so only option is remote controlled volume via DAC... Could eArc output be a workaround for this?

Hello Is there a good budget compact DAC I should consider for linking digital audio out of incoming LG C5 to my analogue Logitech 2:1 speaker system? Preferable with minimal latency +/- remote volume control (as uncertain whether digital optical volume level can be controlled by TV remote)...

Thanks - sorry I'm new to this So you can tweak this to compensate? Does this need doing for various sources or is it generally set & forget? Will it be likely necessary in this scenario?

Thanks But are there significant issues using DAC in terms of audio delay / lip sync?

Hello After 8 years or so, my LG B6 55" OLED has developed an annoying green hue (all viewing angles) which affects non-green colours (skin, hair, yellows etc). Perusing the internet suggests this is becoming a known issue with (some) OLED panels and is effectively incurable (I've followed...

Hello I have a 40 year old QED A230S amp (from my first separates hi fi system, 18th birthday present - the accompanying Dual 505 turntable and Wharfdale Diamond speakers long since gone) It still works fine (and sounds great), and currently ampifies my home workstation desktop PC and my...

Hello After many years of disuse, I tested my parents’ Beocentre 7007 recently (during house clearance after my father’s death) – purchased in the 1980s Still works OK – except speaker cone surrounds (Beovox CX 100) are perished I am happy to replace these with 3rd party speakers but the...

Had another think - could I get close to the sub bass levels of the xls 215s with good subwoofer connected to as500 and smaller replacement (sensitive) main speakers to handle mid / treble? May be something like this? https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/q-acoustics-qb12 Apologies for basic...

The missus will let me keep them if no suitable less obtrusive alternative (and despite perhaps not being "hi fi" they sound bloody good to me) I would love to hear them driven by good quality bigger amp (they have 500w power handling capacity after all)..
