    Bluetooth?

    Ok after taking a look at that wireless headphone article it looks like the BTR3 will work fine as it handles up to LDAC and even LDHC. My Phone is an S8 and running Oreo as of right now and looks to be on the road to getting Pie as well which should have LDAC built in already so that will be a...

    Headphones for 19 year old?

    Another option for those wondering are the Audio Technica ATH-m40x or the older ATH-m50.

    Bluetooth?

    Just wondering what the general take on using bluetooth for audio is here since many Phone OEMs seem to be dropping the 3.5mm jack for either dongles or telling people to use bluetooth headphones/earbuds. Also I may look at FiiO's offerings for turrning wired headphones/earbuds to bluetooth with...

    The Biggest Failures in Consumer Audio/Video Electronics History

    As I have said before I can see curved screen sticking around for a very long time for larger tvs and Monitors since you sit a whole lot closer to those compared to tvs.

    Heres a thought

    As I said it doesn't have to be with all models just 1 maybe 2 series and thats it whle you keep the others with their lousy speakers and on top of that it wouldn't prevent others from purchasing seprate soundbar systems when their tv comes with the lousy tiny built in speakers that most tvs are...

    Heres a thought

    Hmm it would seem LG has started doing part of it by adding speakerbars/ aka soundbars into their OLED TVs https://www.cnet.com/pictures/lg-e7-oled-adds-a-speaker-bar-and-glass-edges/ On top of that I am pretty sure the Wallpaper TV from them comes with all the connections built into a...

    Heres a thought

    Why don't OEMS like Vizio build a 5.1 soundbar into a tv and have the subwoofer connect wirelessly to the TV's 3.0 speakers and have the rears connect to the sub via RCA like they do their current line up of Soundbars. NOT saying that OEMS should do that for all their models but how about...

    RBH HP-1B Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Review

    Kind of sucks that you weren't able to use AptX since you have an iPhone. I am wondering how that would have changed the sound quality.

    MP3 and FLAC sound awful

    What sounds good for movies isn't necessarily that great for music?

    New amp and speakers, please help a noob

    A DAC would make the realtek soundcound unusable as all sound from the pc would pass throught he DAC and just ignore the Realtek.

    Wireless audio/stereo beginner

    I am pretty sure you can make even the highest end of speakers wireless by using another device like the chromecast audio or a Bluetooth adatper that supports the Apt-X codec. Such as this http://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Streambot-Bluetooth-NFC-Enabled-Hight-fidelity/dp/B00RJKRYVC/ for example. So...

    DirecTV, Powered Speakers, Projector Setup

    There is apparently an optional cable for the smaller Genie box that will allow for Composite or component output that would easily net you RCA output for the powered speaker setup. I would get a hold of direct tv and see if you can't get your hands on one of those dongles. Place where I found...

    DirecTV, Powered Speakers, Projector Setup

    Mixer not needed at all if the Speakers have RCA inputs. Do you already have all these parts? If so hook the speakers to the mixer then use the DAC to go from the Genie to the input on the mixer which should then output audio to both speakers otherwise you would only be able to hook one of the...

    DirecTV, Powered Speakers, Projector Setup

    If the Genie did have S-Video output then it would have RCA for audio output as well since S-Videio only carries video and NOT Audio.

    DirecTV, Powered Speakers, Projector Setup

    In that case might need an converter or extractor like this for example http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008JYB93G?psc=1

    DirecTV, Powered Speakers, Projector Setup

    Does the genie have RCA out by any chance? I know my direct tv box does. Otherwise you might need an audio extractor if the genie only has HDMI out
