Typo comment - feel free to delete after reading The bottom line is it’s (rarely true) and most of the time just plain nonsense. Putting "rarely true" in brackets results in a garbled sentence. Read the sentence without the brackets and you'll see what I mean. You should eliminate the brackets...

One Call said they'd sell me a new 4311CI for $1314 shipped. The problem I have with the new models is that they're not specific on the DSD. They say it will display DSD DIRECT when playing back DSD, but isn't specific like the 4311CI. You would assume they mean there is no PCM conversion in...

I would think so too, with maybe the 1796 or 1792 used for the high end models as they did with the 4308 (1796) and 5308 (1792) whereas most others chose 1791A. But it seems like they're all capable of DSD interface, so curious why on such a higher end model like the 3313 they chose not to...

The 1791A, 1792 and 1796 are Burr Brown (Texas Instruments) DACs for converting digital into analogue. PCM1796 spec sheet - Audio Converter - Audio DAC - PCM1796 - TI.com

The 3313 doesn't, the 4311 does. I imagine the DACs in the 3313 are capable of it, most Burr Browns are like the 1792, 1791A and 1796, but for some reason they didn't include it on the 3313. It looks like the newest AVR-X4000 will also convert directly to analogue although they're being pretty...

Darn, I might be out of the hunt for a 3313CI. When playing back Super Audio CD, DSD signals are converted into PCM signals which are then converted into analog signals. That's a shame. You'd think with this being one of the higher end models they'd include direct to analogue conversion like...

Damn! Yeah I missed that one too. Gorgeous AVR, would really like to own this one and $800~$900 new I would have pulled the trigger and suffered the wrath of the spouse. Love the dedicated PRE mode too for some time down the road when I add a PRO. Nice price, and the dealer is authorized by...

That's good to know about the open-box having the full 3-year. I've been eyeing the 4311CI for $1099 from A4L for several weeks, but I think I might look for an open box 3312 or 3313 instead. I like the looks of the 3313 more, so if the only difference is streaming to Zone 2 which I really don't...

I have 2 @ 1TB external drives already in my PC running in RAID 1 backed up to an external 1TB HDD. They are almost full, and they don't have a single movie on them, it's all audio. flac16 and flac24 mainly. If I was to have the 250 Blu-ray discs I own backed up I would need several 2TB...

That sucks, I got the Blu-ray so I can't speak to this, mine works perfectly...but I did want to respond because I use the DV-48 for DVD-A and SACD playback (through HDMI > TX-SR805 so DSD>Analog with no PCM conversion) and have yet to find a disc that doesn't work. I would suggest taking it...

Picked up the Blu-ray for $18.99 from Amazon Canada. This is truly a great 5.1 offering with really great dynamics. It's not as discreet as something from the NIN-camp, but it is a nice extension of the music and isn't distracting either. Great fidelity, great dynamics.

Wow, the 5.1 dts-ma isolated score on DISC 2 is STUNNING! I really hope it's not too much longer before the studios try to release a few rock/pop titles like this, not just the ones we have from Tom Petty, Trent Reznor, Neil Young, etc., which are all artist-driven. SDDS has used discreet...

The SUB25 is definitely a bit more palatable at $2,400 instead of the MSRP of $4,000. http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?homesubw&1300578989&/Paradigm-Sub-25- 9/10 condition on Audiogon, located in North Carolina. I would like to add a 2nd sub sometime towards the end of this year...

Die Monster, you miserable swines. Can you patent an everyday term? Kuro means black. The "K" in most Panasonic models (telephones, blu-ray players, etc.) stands for "Black".

I haven't heard the soundstage, because I'm not really that interested in the "making of" documentaries they do. I wish they would advertise more clearly what their releases are, because they may in the long run inhibit the adoption of actual albums. This release is re-mastered from the...

Damn The Torpedoes - Deluxe Edition [CD+BD-A] Not the "making of" Blu-ray from Eagle Rock, this is the Blu-ray Audio of the album containing high resolution stereo and multi-channel programs of Damn The Torpedoes. Import only for USA so far, releasing November 2nd, pre-order currently...

With 230 turntables I think we can let that slide! Haha.

If your player already supports it then there are enough titles still in print to pick up a few, you can get almost all the Elton John SACD's for around $20/each and they're all amazingly mastered with excellent 5.1 multi-channel mixes. NIN's The Downward Spiral, Dark Side of the Moon, Brothers...
