    Is the receiver even necessary?

    Thanks all, I hadn't considered how much eq the receiver was doing. It looks like the Oppo 205 does have a whole lot of settings for speaker positioning and offset, but it would certainly take some testing to see if it can be setup as well as the audyssey correction in the Pioneer. I also...

    Is the receiver even necessary?

    I'm currently looking at upgrading my Oppo 103 to the new Oppo 205. Mainly for the 4k, but it's also got me thinking about my system in general. I've long been planning to add some power amps to my setup, but now that I'm moving to a player that has full 7.1 analogue outputs (not to mention...

    NAD M51 Matching

    Sorry to disappoint you - but there are no analogue inputs on the back of the NAD M51 so it will not work in as a pre-amp in your situation. Unless you add an ADC, of course. Would love to know what you make of using the M51 with your Roksan power amps and your digital sources though. This...

    NAD M51 Matching

    Thanks for your suggestions Steve. The Caspian is definitely on my audition list. Although Roksan seems to be one of the harder brands to find here in NZ. I'd be curious to see how the Caspian M2 integrated compared to me using my NAD M51 as a pre and adding the Roksan Caspian M2 power...

    NAD M51 Matching

    I was very happy to see this month that the NAD M51 Dac got the award for best premium DAC. I recently purchased one of these on a whim after a very short demo. It sounded amazing in the store and I've been delighted since I got it home. I purchased it to improve the 2 channel performance...

    Oppo BFP95 or BDP93

    I'm also interested in the two Oppo players and have been wondering how they stack up next to the Denon 2012UD and Marantz UD7006. I have a Onkyo TX-SR608 hooked up to B&W 684s, 685s, HTM62 and ASW610. I won't be buying a seperate CD player so I'm quite interested in the analogue stereo...

    Onkyo Setup

    Hi All, I've just purchased an Onkyo TX-SR608 Receiver and some B&W 684s as the basis for a home theatre system. I'm planning on adding more B&W speakers over time to get 5.1 (or maybe even 7.1) but for now have the front speakers Bi-Amped in a simple stereo setup. The only devices I have...
