OK, so I have been experimenting with HiRes music, the CD player I bought has the feature to use just the DAC via various inputs. I had a fairly high spec laptop which after getting some tips online I then 'optimised' for Hi Res audio playback. I use the USB output into the USB input on the...

Thanks Guys for all the advice, I think I will try the Atmos setup with my current speakers but will take on board that I really need to get a single brand to match in. I think I may have made a rod for my own back by going for the B&Ws up front, the matched speakers are quite expensive.

Thnaks for that, I will read up a bit more on how I implement your suggestion and I will report back, will be interesting to find out.

Hi, I think you have half answered your question already, using the PC as a Hi Res source. I think the Arcam can go to 192/24 and I would use the asynchronous USB, thats how to get the best quality out of it. Your second question about if you keep the PC in another room how would you connect is...

Its always nice to have options!!!*biggrin*

Hi, Just started trying out some Hi Res audio, using foobar2000 on a laptop, asynchronous USB in to the DAC on my saturn R. I am also using a bog standard USB lead, I think it came fee with my printer. The SQ is very good, I dont have any duplicate Hi Res files of CDs I own to directly compare...

Thanks Guys, at the moment I have B and W 683s with matching centre up front, with wharfdale diamonds for back and rear back, (currently 7. 1setup) I have some old Boston Soundware speakers that I was going to use for the height speakers. I hear what you are saying though, ideally I should match...

Hi, I am in the process of upgarding my home cinema set up, I have gone for a pinoeer SCLX59, (awaiting delivery) I am anxious to try out the new Atmos setup. Actual 'in ceiling' speakers are not and option for me. I have the ability to mount normal (not atmos) speakers high up against the...

Very intresting listening to your comments, particularly the differences between the Elex and Elicit not being as great as the difference between the Elex and Brio, I guess thats the law of diminshing returns. As some one who just bought and Elex, and someone who also tried the DAC R, in my...

Thanks for your comments. Just to clarify, yes I did buy The 683s, the Elex R and the Saturn R. Also we did simply use the Naim as a source/streamer so I could test the Rega Dac. With hindsight and considering how much I did end up spending I ought to have trialled the Niam's DAC straight to the...

Hi, I just wanted to share my recent experience of buying my first HiFi system. Like most people I guess, over the last decade or so I have been weaned off 'real' music and replaced it with streaming and multiroom systems. There is no denying the convenience but I had become curious over the...
