Toshiba HD-A35 and Integra DTC 9.8 Prosessor (1 Viewer)

[Gustavo Menendez]

About a few days ago I purchased the Toshiba HD-A35 HD-DVD player to connect to my new Integra DTC 9.8 Pre-Amp/Processor. I was hoping to be able to use the pre-pro to decode the new HD sound codecs!

Yesterday I received my HD-DVD order of "Eagles Farewell Live from Melbourne" it has DTS HD Master Audio. Wow, the sound (processed by the Integra) was out-of-this-world! and the image was grand.

The "down-side" (joke) of DTS HD Master audio is that I have to change my "Tactile-Transducer" (Clark Synthesis TST-429 Platinum) amplifier because it is over-heating and going to protective mode. I already ordered a new amplifier for it. Hopefully this will solve the issue of loosing the tactile sound on my seating riser.

The first time I played a movie (seen it before, with regular codec) with DTS HD Master Audio I jumped off the seating! What an impactful sound field.

I can't wait for Saving Private Ryan in HD-DVD (hopefully with DTS Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD. Wow, concussion!

Anyway, now I have HD video & Sound!

Gustavo,

Fantastic!

A shame about your Clark amp over-heating, but it
sounds like a fix is on its way.

Please continue to keep us updated on your HD experiences
as there are many people here that we still need to convert.
