I run a Qnap 412 through the pioneer lx85 AV receiver but find it slow and not always reliable. Would I get an improvement if I ran the Qnap through the pioneer and then the stream magic 6? Thanks in advance for any advice. Bell.

Thanks Tommo, I can't say I am unhappy. I just think what if? I'm not sure what sound I like, I just know when music really hits the mark for me. Usually with acoustic guitar, piano and vocal but I also love the sound of electronic music and everything else. Raymond

Hi, I currently use a Pioneer SC LX85 to power the sound from my Audiolab 8200cd. Would I get a better sound from a dedicated amp attached to the Pioneer? If yes, what amp would you suggest and how would you connest it?

Hi folks, been reading your thread and like one or two of you had not listened to Graceland since listening on album when it came out. Have gone through a bit of a Paul Simon review since buying his last album, So Beautiful or so What on flac from hd tracks. That album, Graceland and Surprise...

Hello Michael Hoy and v1c. I have been in touch with Cambridge Audio through their online support system. I have also been in touch with Pioneer through their online support. I have had a reply from CA but have heard nothing from Pioneer. As you can see, Richer Sounds has also been in touch...

Hi Michael Hoy, I called Richer Sounds last week but their guy wasn't too helpful or lacked the knowledge. I've reset the 751 a number of times but have had no joy in resolving the problem. I should add that the sound I am getting with LPCM on the 751 sounds great but is only across the...

Thanks v1c, will check it out and get back to you. Many thanks for your help. Chat soon. Raymond

Hi v1c, sorry to be so ignorant but where do I get that information? Raymond

Hi v1c, thanks for working through this. Secondary audio is set to off. No change. Raymond

Hi v1c, I have it set to amp. If I select any other audio on the CA 751BD it plays without a problem. If I want a German or Chinese audio track, I can have that. I just can't have TrueHD or DTS Master in English. Very confused. Thanks Raymond

Hi v1c thanks for your input. When I try to signal select on BD it only offers hdmi. It will not switch inputs like other connections that offer hdmi, auto and analogue. Do you know if this is as it should be? Thanks Raymond

Hi, exactly the same. I have recently added an Audiolab cd player so moved stereo over to that but we have the same set up for video and audio. I just can't work out why it stopped showing HD audio on front of Pioneer. Stereo sounds really fantastic and so did HD but lost for solution. Thanks...

Hello Michael Hoy, thanks for the reply. HDMI control function is switched off on the Pioneer. Have tried it on but no change. Wonder if you could clarify what you mean by input for bluray and input for cd player? Thanks Raymond

Hi folks, everything was going really well and was loving this combination (Pioneer SC LX85 and CA 751BD) through HDMI for video/sound and analogue for stereo music. Last weekend, I suddenly couldn't get any sound when playing HD soundtracks (Dolby True HD and DTS Master). Have adjusted the...

Sorry for the late reply. Many thanks for advice. i'm up and running with HD Tracks now. Many thanks Raymond
