Theres a thing called "chip creep" where the heating and cooling of equipment (expanding and contracting) can cause a component to work loose, I think the idea of standby is to maintain a constant operating temperature inside the unit. This used to be an issue with PC's many many years ago I'm...

The trigger in will turn the amp on/off with the preamp (or the component its connected to), this will normally over ride the "soft" on/standby button on the amp, music sense will turn the amp on when it detects a signal but will rely on the auto power off to switch it off after being idle for a...

With the Rubicon LCR its 100mm clear space underneath them wall mounted or 30mm away from the wall if on shelves or stands I'm assuming it'll be similar for the cores .

Not really but I went from the Dali Evidence 470 to Rubicon 6, and while I'd had the 470's for 20 years the improvements were spectacular, took me 48 hours to order the vokal and a few weeks later the LCR's as sides. I'd recommend the LCR rather than the 2's as surrounds so you'll get the same...

Yes but if kit your existing kit can support it why not request a feature update, bluesound for example just rolled out DIRAC room correction and its available on older generations of gear the point is the equipment has the ability.

I can't see how they cannot, you can't position yourself as a high res streamer and not support both high res platforms, it will affect your sales.

I know theres complaints on blue sounds face book pages about it not being available yet, and the chatter is that it will be months.

Of course at that price point the elephant in the room is the Leema Pulse IV

but seriously, what would you feed it ? I looked for SACD discs and there not a lot

My financial advisor has informed me that if you keep posting links like this I have to block you :)

Hi, So Bluesound manuals are a bit vague and I'm going off the node options I can see in the set up menu. But the way I'd do it is connect the Icon to the M23 for music as is your priority. Then for films connect the pre outs of the 747 to the analog inputs of the icon and set the or switch...

Congratulations, they will match your other gear well. I hope you enjoy them.

Well I like NAD and Rotel so at that price I'd be looking at the NAD C298 and the Rotel RB1582 mk2, but I'd also look at Lyngdorf SDA 2400. The NAD and Lyngdorf are both digital amps although of different types, the Rotel is class A-B but it'll be huge in person and weigh a ton I bet.

iTunes isn't a streaming service its local files streamed/or cast locally its effetely a NAS drive and airplay is the interface

So you have the CD's on your MacBook air? Why are you connecting your iPad is that plugged into your amp? You can leave the CD's on your air and stream them via airplay to any other airplay device. Turn on sharing in music and download iTunes remote on the iPad and select you mar airs library
