The said update includes expensive licenses from THX and SRS.

Hi, I am still looking at steps to improve my setup for better music + DPL II, but with some budget limitations. After reviews I have considered. (n/a) Rotel 1066 + some Power Amp (e.g. 1075) (4/6) Marantz SR 9200 (n/a) Denon 4803/A11SR 5803/A1SR (5/6) Pioneer 49Tx/49TXi AX10/AX10i...

It is my understanding that the bass management on the Yamaha is analog. There are some schematics of the receiver, that show that. Morevover, DSP modes can be made avialble to analog stereo source, while the mutichannel input cannot use the DSP modes. Bass-Management with fixed...

How does the music (pure stereo) compare?

Reading this thread I realize that a lot of us have gone religioous on the 16/9 thingy. For all purposes the best Hight-Definition monitors are in 4/3 format. The reason behind this is simple: a HD 4/3 format can display any signal, including 16/9 HD without any loss of quality. Again a...

I have bought myself the DSP A1 years ago, just after the A2 came to our shores (Singapore). I got it at that time for S$1700 or around US$900. I have been happy with it but in real life i use none of the "fancy" features, for I have no time or resource to really measure all the speakers...

Does 192kHz justify the price difference? I believe not. Is 192kHz sampling justified? I believe not. I believe 96kHz to be largely enough. At 192 the design costs are increased so much that I don't think one can really get a improvement of quality.

With the new formats 192kHz DACs is going to become standard before end of the year.... Yes resampling improves jitter. It is not the actual resampling of course, it is the better clock and a small input buffer (the buffer absorbs the jitter). But the better clock cannot work without a...

Hi, DAC means Digital Analog Converter. Why is a higher frequency better? In a digital to analog conversion two things are important: the clock precision ans the filtering. 1/ Assuming your source is a DVD at 192kHz: 1.1/If your DAC is 192kHZ, only a certain amount of filtering to...

On the DSP A1, it is my understanding that the 5.1 ("external") input is analog only. -I think it is right, because no DSP post-processing mode is available in external mode. And there is no reason not to have DSP modes available if the signal is digital. - It is mentionned in one of the...

When I have time, i might pass Dolby's DVD through it. It has various test tones. I don't have a GEQ, but I'll check on a SPL meter. I think there are two possibilies: 1/It has full bass management (i.e. a switchable HPF/gain on the main) 2/It has the same as the outlaw: a sum...

Questions: 1/ With the tones off, can you instead use a DVD/CD/SACD test tones or are all channels muted. 1bis/ Is this valid for 8200/9200? Does this solve the SR8200 calibration problem?

Hi, I am a bit late to answer your question. I own the DSP A1. When I play CD music (2ch) on the 5.1 channel input, and the front speakers are set to large, with the bass output to both, the subwoofer works. When I play CD music on the 5.1 channel input, and the front speakers...

I also would prefer the original version, not because it is the orginal version, but because it looks better to my eyes. Yoda looks ridiculous in Attack of the clones, not because he does kung fu, but because it is a different actor. Agreed I am sure there have also been many improvment in...
