    Need help choosing DIY kit for centre & fronts.

    Boris, Nice to see you, who were interested in Wilmslow products. Though I am living in USA, I prefer speakers from UK, and envied DIY people in UK, actually...:) I am not sure how good is the Seas tweeter used in IPL front speakers, but Morel one seems better. I am using ProAc Studio 200...

    New Classical: Solomon's Requiem for Tower Records

    Nice to see you classical fans here. Best Buy in Austin/Cedar Park, TX has some limited, but not too bad classical CD collection. However, I feel the classical music business keeps shrinking, and we have to rely on a few major on-line dealers, more and more. I actually dream of very high-quality...

    Is it possible to find/burn 24/96 audio?

    If you really want to capture those 96/24 DVD's and encode them into MP3, AND you are good at C programming and WAV file format, I may be able to write a core code that downsamples audio into 1/2 sample rate. Then you should integrate it with WAV file reader, WAV file writer to make a crude S/W...

    Achtung! Der Ring ohne Wörter....??

    I don't think the Telarc CD is a substandard. Maazel/VPO combination would be the best Telarc can get recorded, as well as Richard Strauss' Alpine Symphony by Previn/VPO. I know that Maazel's interpretation is quite different from Solti's or Boulez', but I like it, too, and who can question...

    korean DVD

    ForresterW, Thank you for your reply. I thought you were an American, guessing from your ID. Then, I am curious how many Koreans were posting in this thread...:) So far, I just bought Shiri from dvdasian.com. I ordered it, but they replied that they had no stock. I contacted them for...

    Forrester, I may be one of a few Korean members in this Forum. May I ask you why you like Korean movies? Just for curiosity...:)

    Is it possible to find/burn 24/96 audio?

    As far as I know, MP3 doesn't support those 2x sampling rates. New MP3Pro coding may do that, but I guess not. MPEG-2 AAC and DTS96/24 codings are known to support this, but I doubt AAC's capability to make audible improvement or difference from 48/16 or 44.1/16 materials, as even audible...

    Achtung! Der Ring ohne Wörter....??

    I have the CD from Telarc, and it is really recommendable to audiophiles. I love it. Another maybe from London/Decca, conducted by Georg Solti and recorded recently in CD era. Its sound is amazing too.

    etronics .com good or bad

    I bought DVD player RP-91N and JVC camcorder with some accessories. I had no problem with the procedures and products, and price was great. I remember their shipping was just a little slow.

    DTV's with DVI input

    Derek, Thank you so much for your information. I wonder why a knowledgeable person like you had only 2 posts so far....:)

    DVD-Video & DVD-Audio Digital Interface announced

    Maybe I am repeating somebody already said, but let me add a comment on hybrid SACD. I believe the main reason Sony doesn't release hybrid SACD is that they cannot guarantee 100% compatibility with existing CD players. DVD layer can bother the CD players badly that they can not read the CD...

    DTV's with DVI input

    Could anybody share information on DTV's with DVI/HDCP input? I know that many FPTV's have DVI inputs, but is there any new direct-view TV's or RPTV's with DVI/HDCP inputs, as the industry promised last year? I am looking forward to your kind replies.

    Titanic SE See Post #541 for Update

    I will buy it if it has DTS track. But I am afraid it wouldn't, as Paramount is not a DTS supporter...:frowning:

    "Hotel California" DVD-A 192kHz/24bit review please!!

    RicP, How do you compare the quality of 192kHz PCM with DSD? I just want to hear your experience, no debate guaranteed...:)

    "Hotel California" DVD-A 192kHz/24bit review please!!

    I think many people here bought the DVD-A disc "Hotel California" from Warner music. Can anybody who bought them share the feelings and reviews of that disc, especially for 192kHz/24bit stereo track? RicP, I saw your excellent post mentioning this disc. Could you share your thought with us...

    Atlantic Technology Preamp? P2000 looks just like Outlaw?

    As far as I know, Outlaw uses Zoran DSP for audio decoding, but this machine has indication of using Cirrus chip set for audio decoding. I guess 2 machines are totally different from each other.

    24 bit / 96 (or even 192) kHz question...

    I assume that delta-sigma type DAC is used. In this case, most incoming PCM's are upsampled to 8x speed (256~384kHz), and then noise-shaped to fewer-bit PDM(mostly) or PWM. In many delta-sigma DAC's, upsampling FIR doesn't have excellent characteristics, and DVD players' DSP can do better...

    DVD Audio question

    Many DVD-A disc has DVD-Video portion that contains the DD 5.1 or DTS 5.1 version of the music in DVD-A area. Your DVD-Video player can play those DD 5.1 or DTS 5.1 tracks if any. But the quality of DD 5.1 is quite inferior to that of the DVD-A tracks and DTS 5.1 track should be be between DD...

    sacd experts...is the pioneer 47a dvd player the one to wait for ?

    I saw a post in this forum that 47A has the DAC which has native DSD-to-Analog circuitry. Actually I don't mind whether it's directly converted to analog, or to PCM and then to analog, unless it is done weirdly. DSD-to-A conversion is a LPF function, and in native DSD converter it will be done...

    DVD Audio Questions

    Justin, If you like classical music, there is 1 or 2 releases of 192/24 DVD-A from Surrounded By Entertainment. One I am sure is a collection of String Quartet by Ravel, Debussy and Faure. It is sold on www.dvdplanet.com and www.dvdempire.com .

    Wilmslow Auio(UK), any information/experience?

    Hi everybody, I am quite interested in some high-end DIY kit products from Wilmslow Audio in England. Wilmslow seems to be the largest DIY stuff retailer in UK. Its home page is www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk and it carries 3 models using ATC's renowned 3" soft-dome squawker. Anybody has experience...

    rp91 or dv-37

    I am not a great videophile, but I know one, who rated RP91 almost the best picture in most aspects. He preferred it to even its higher-end H2000. In addition to the chroma bug existing in Pioneer Elite players(I may be wrong, not sure), he pointed out some severe ringing and oversharpened edge...

    DVD Audio vs SACD

    John, Thank you very much for your information. Regarding 20 bit drawback, I think that 24 bit master can be used by the mixing stage, and just release master to be noise-shaped to 20 bit. Considering the difficulties of achieving the 120dB noise floor, 20 bit release may still be good enough...

    DVD Audio vs SACD

    John, Thanks for your comments. But the current practical limit of 120dB noise floor may make 24 bit a little waste, doesn't it? Could you give me some more explanation on your first statement of 20 bit drawback, and nominal bit rate limit of 6~7Mbps for MLP? I am really interested in it, but I...

    DVD Audio vs SACD

    Thanks RicP, It was an interesting and challenging discussion. I hope to get back to it when you find more information. And thank you for information on your gears. They seem nice. Regarding multichannel 192kHz recording, I have really a big complaint to DVD forum/WG-4. The MLP itself has no...

    Philips SACD 1000 vs Sony's SACD players

    KeithH, I think you don't need to worry about DSD conversion to PCM. That downconversion means the LPF on DSD in digital domain. In pure DSD playback, you will have analog filter instead. If done right, digital LPF(but with decimation) may provide better sound than DSD playback with pure...

    DVD Audio vs SACD

    RicP, I am sorry to hear that you don't have some information on what I questioned on. As you said, it is a tough question, and quite a mystery to me. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing it and know what the recent DSD system is. Anyway, thank you for sharing good information with us. I hope...
