Hi guys, Thanks for the replies and advice. I should have asked the dealer at time of purchase and also tried mdac/power amp vs integrated/mdac, but now he s away for the rest of the week and can t ask him any advice. I would have love to take the mdac with me to audition the amps,but won the...

Hi all, I just bought a audioab mdac and need to now get a amp. There is a demo of marantz pm7004 that I could get for a good price, but only one left,so I ve got to be quick. On the other side there s the current marantz pm7025 2 channel amp also for the same price. I am wondering if I d...

Hi John Duncan, Thanks for your reply and advice.indeed I have heard of the two systems you mentioned and also know that they are not cheap. At this stage m really not into building and tweaking a computer in order to rip and play movies. For me, that s just too much hassle. I think m...

Hi all Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I am wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction as I need a few specific thing. I am looking at a device which can rip,store and play SD &HD video/audio to multiple rooms at the same time. At the moment, with 3 kids all wanting to...

Hi guys, Thanks a lot for all the replies. My idea of going for an outboard dac is that I have nice speaker ( Martin Logan theos) powered by 2 mono wyred for sound power amp, via the receivers Pre out, and I just want to make the most of the theos and w4s dac monos in order to take my music...

Hi all, I have the yamaha rxa 2020 and I am wondering if I fed its analogue input , will there be any further A/D/A conversion in the process. I am tempted to get an outboard dac or streamer in order to better my music. Can somebody confirm please if this is correct, or m I wasting my time...

Hi all, thanks for all your advice and input. i think i will indeed go for 2 xls 400 as it will give me the best of both world at a reasonable price. i am a little short on cash as i spent a few dollars on the rest of the equipment and room accoustics and can t really afford a big well...

Hi all, I am after some info in regards to mix and match of multiple subwoofer for my dedicated HT room. I know it s a big no no to mix different subs,different models.... But what about mix and match in this scenario: Having one smaller sub like a BK XLS200 for the fronts connected via the...

Hi Canada, Thanks for your input. M glad you enjoy your 818. Here in Australia it s still a few months before it comes out :cry: The 3009 is available right now but like I said previously I will be adding a power amp for front duties nor will I be using 2 subs so I will wait to get it...

Hi mate, Thanks for the info and advice. I also got an email from audyssey stating that if it s xt32 then it s xt 32. So in your opinion, will the 818 be as efficient as room correction as the 3009 considering I will not use 2 subs? I currently have a anthem Mrx 500 and man does that ARC...

Hi all, I am just wondering if there are any variants of the popular xt32? By this I meant it features in the higher end of receivers but now also in the lower priced ones such as the onkyo 818. I am trying to determine if the xt32 found in both the high end and lower end receivers are the same...
