    Oppo UDP-203 & UDP-205 Ultra HD Blu-ray Players Review

    I've had the Oppo 83SE, 95 and now the 105 due to their superior analog performance. Now that the 203 has equaled the 205 in audio performance, what real audio advantages does the 205 really have over the 203? We know video performance is identical for both players.

    Outlaw Audio Ultra-X13 Ported Subwoofer Review

    Yeah, but the SVS SB13 and newer SB16 have at least twice the amount of distortion as this new Outlaw sub, so that's a huge plus in favor of the Ultra-X13. I'd take low distortion over sheer maximum output. If I need more SPLs, I'd buy two subs and these X13s are affordable enough to buy two of...

    SVS SB16-Ultra Sealed Subwoofer Review

    Gene: Would it be safe to say that you (i.e audioholics) were not as wowed by the SB16 as much as you were with the SB13? I base this statement after careful readings of both reviews and the lesser value rating given to the SB16 compared with the SB13. It's fine, ofcourse if you considered the...

    SVS SB16-Ultra Sealed Subwoofer Review

    Gene: The group phase delay curves are reversed. Blue lines should be 1 cycle. Red line is 1.5 cycles not vice-versa as you have them now. In any case, this SB16s phase response is not as linear as the SB13, which always stayed well under 1 cycle from 10Hz on upwards. The SB16 breaks above the...

    Emotiva XMC-1 Processor with Dirac Room EQ Review

    By definition, a full Diff-In Diff-out device is one which has both XLR inputs and XLR outputs, like the stereo i/o of the XMC-1. Now it's not just a matter of slapping on these XLR connectors, but the whole internal circuitry must be differential throughout the entire signal chain from XLR...

    Emotiva XMC-1 Processor with Dirac Room EQ Review

    Not Gene here ... but you don't need any special speakers when using a differential audio device. A differential signal consists a signal S and its inversion -S. When received by an audio processor/amplifier, the 2 signals are subtracted from each other S - (-S) to produce a combined signal...

    OPPO UDP-203 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Player Preview

    Gene, what you said is true but the poster (George) said "...their (Oppo) audio default polarity plays approximately 92% of all tracks on approximately 92% of CDs and DVDs and Blu-rays in inverted polarity." The 92% figure is what surprised me the most. He seems to say that 92% of all...

    OPPO UDP-203 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Player Preview

    Thanks George... I've never heard of the polarity problems you alluded to. Surely OPPO or other technical reviewers would have found this out and brought it out in the open. Also these phase inversions would be readily audible, I would think. Do you have a credible source for these claims...

    Are you going to perform any detailed audio tests on the UDP-203 like you did for the BDP-103? - David

    SVS PB16-Ultra Ported Subwoofer Review

    Thanks for the review of the PB16...so when will you review and post the SB16? I have one concern here, and that is the phase delay response graph. The PB16, in sealed mode, should have a much less than 1-cycle delay at all frequencies like the PB13 does in sealed mode. But this isn't the case...

    ATSC 3.0: A New Broadcast Standard for the UltraHD and Mobile Age

    Gene: Thanks for the article and great write up indeed. But i'm disappointed that the audio still remains the same...lossy. Lossy dolby in 7.1.4 or a 22.2 channel setup is still lossy audio. Why wasn't HD lossless audio considered? Why no DTS-MA option which the market chose as the standard...

    Thanks for the review Josh ... I have two SB13's in my system, so how would the SPL and distortions measurement change?
