    WASAPI not working...any advice?

    Hi there, If you change the output data format to 24-bit that should work. I had the same problem when using WASAPI on Foobar, I don't quite know how but Foobar has imported my Amazon mp3's as 24-bit. I use the ASIO plug-in with ASIO4ALL download and you then don't need to set or change the...

    Hi Res Music

    Hi Sean, The simple answer is you will be able to tell you're playing a high resolution track when the light on the front of your Rega DAC tells you that a 96kHz signal is being received. How you get to that stage is a little more difficult! As has already been explained the Apple TV2 has a...

    Too many album covers!!

    I've had this problem on several albums and the way that I've found to overcome it is by highlighting all the tracks, if they're next to each other by holding shift and clicking on first and last track of the entire album (including split tracks), or by holding the control key and selecting each...

    i-tunes and dm 37/38

    Evening, Mr Everard is indeed correct and probably doesn't suggest a solution as you don't ask for one in your original post! It won't work with the laptop because in simple terms it would have to recognise the Denon as a USB speaker which would require drivers etc that it doesn't have. As...

    Upgrading to ... ? B&W 683, onkyo A-5VL/CS-5VL

    Well it's funny you should ask that as I have the Dac Magic and use it connected to my computer as my main source. I have hundreds of CD's but don't have the space to keep them out so opted for this option. I initially had the Dac Magic set up via USB from the computer but now use a co-axial...

    Upgrading to ... ? B&W 683, onkyo A-5VL/CS-5VL

    I certainly don't think you'll be disappointed with the Rotel RA-1520, as this is what I have with the 683's!! Bias aside, I started my auditioning with the 685's and worked up through the 684's until I was blown away by the 683's. I started at the Rotel 04 then the 06 then it was a straight...

    mp3 albums £1.00 Amazon

    Is that the figure at the final press to pay screen? A slight anomaly came up when I registered and entered the code it showed a discount of £5 something for a £7.49 album I just clicked continue and on the next screen it showed the full discount of £6.49 and just the £1 to pay.

    mp3 albums £1.00 Amazon

    The promo code box comes up on the right after you've selected payment method. You need to enable the amazon download software to get to the payment screen also. Top code, used it on the other halfs account and opened a new account myself just to use it!

    Virgin V+HD to stereo amp???

    Hi, I've gone and checked my sound settings as I also have a V+ HD box which is connected via the Optical Out to my Dac magic and onto my stereo amp as I recall having the same problem. When you go into the Change Display and Audio Settings menu you need to change HDMI audio override to off, I...

    Decisions, decisions.....Hifi upgrade

    I will obviously be suggesting you listen to the Rotel RA-1520 as that's what I've got!! But others to audition would be the Roksan Kandy K2, I preferred the bass on the Rotel but the Kandy was still very good. Not that I've heard them but the Naim Nait 5i and a Cyrus amp (I forget the model)...

    Change of speakers - Possible floorstanders

    I've heard the B&W 684's with a Rotel RA-04(not much difference in price!) and they sounded really good it was a nice full sound and as I was looking for bass they certainly had plenty.I threw all sorts of music at them from Dance to Acoustic, Pop, Rock etc and they seemed detailed, clear and...

    Decisions, decisions.....Hifi upgrade

    Are you able to take your AV amp along for a demo? If you are I think you'll be really impressed with the level of improvement available with a dedicated stereo amplifier. I've been able to demo some AV amps alongside stereo amps and for music the dedicated stereo amps were streets ahead! As...
