Guess that I'll have to swap the optical cable from AVR to rDAC when listening to music to benefit from the analog output of the DAC. Or just leave the rDAC and use the card analogs for music and the optical for movies as it has both outputs

Currently have PC(movies/music player) with asus xonar essence stx sound card and nvidia 9800GT graphic card and an Arcam rDac And a 60 inch plasma with hdmi On the way: marantz sr 7007 Will I get better video performance by connecting the video card to the AVR then from AVR to TV or to...

Hi everyone, I have a pair of q300 connected to marantz pm6004 through audioquest type 4 speaker cable single wire. After listening for around 20 hours I bought a jumper cable - Chord Carnival Silver Plus with Nakamichi spades and banana. First I realised that the noise when speakers are on...

I kinda sorted out all the setups and made my decision on a 2.2 configuration. Will stick with Harman Hardon HK990 or something similar. The problem is that I don't know if my soundcard can compare to an integrated amp with built in DAC and 2 sub outs ( in terms of quality). And a set of 2...

Ok, I concluded on buying - a pair of good floor speakers( £1500 max) -an integrated amp with enough power for 250w+ speaker 2 or 3 subwoofers - I stopped at SVS brand - should I go with 2 sealed subs and 1 ported ( dual http://www.svsound.com/dual-subwoofers/dual-sb-1000#.UR or...

Volume, bass, looking to the room layout - the center will be on the skew side and the rears on the left and bottom right wall. As I said before I do not want a cinema setup. Just conerned on how much the speaker satellites will amplify the bass and sound overall - if to go for an AV receiver...

Yes you are right, if I go with 2 compact speakers - they will probably distort the base at high volumes - so I'll have to rely just on the sub, - 2 towers option with 2 low drives will be better in my opinion. The question here is .... Will the rest of 3 speakers of a 5.1 system will really...

I really don't mind a 2.1 setup for movies - but don't want to compromise the power for quality - it has to be somewhere in the middle A minimum would be a 2 x 100 w for speakers and 200w for subwoofer - bear in mind that will be mostly for electronic music ( tech house)

the sofas will be on the left and bottom side walls , and the speakers on the front - on the skew side together with the 50 inch TV - the room is 11 feet tall

The room has a hexagonal shape http://i50.tinypic.com/25r195j.jpg The TV together with the main speakers will be on the upper side wall ( the skew side from the picture)

Hi everyone, Good forum to read so far. I am planning on building a powerfull sound system for a medium-large sized living room ( hexagonal shape) The audio signal will come from My pc ( Xonar soundboard) through a DJM 1000 Pioneer mixer into the amp/av receiver. For start I am considering a...
