    Farewell Oppo Sonica Wi-Fi Speaker (almost)

    Well, I just placed an order for two additional speakers and found out that the black is sold out and there are only three remaining in silver. I was hoping to purchase 2 in black, but had to settle for one of each. I have used this speaker for years and I am extremely happy. Figured I...

    Hello If anyone has purchased this collection (or know anyone who has),I would love your opinion on the recording quality of the CD's. I presently own several Living Stereo SACD's and am impressed with the recording quality. I know the collection is stereo only, but that is not a concern...

    Is this a bad idea?

    Thank you for politely responding to my (obvious) newness to DA converters. My question was dumb, and should have thought more intelligently before hitting submit. I appreciate the clarifications on DACs and all forum responses thus far; great information! As to the why -- I am looking...

    SACD Purchase Recommendations ..........

    Another nod to Oppo. I use the BDP 103 for SACD and am thrilled. Although I don't have experience with other models, the value is tremendous given the players other capabilities (BD, Network, DVD upscale) and suburb build quality.

    Is this a bad idea?

    Hello All, I am looking to purchase a DAC, not so much that I need one, but I am curious as to their benefit. Anyway, I love the Oppo Sonica DAC, but it does not have a 3.5 mm for headphones. Would it be damaging to both the DAC and/or the headphones (Sennheiser HD 600) if I were to use the...

    Wear ear protection on planes

    I ditto the above comment on noise cancelling headphones on flights (or anything else for hearing protection). On an recent flight with Boeing 757 aircraft, I started with the headphones from takeoff until 2+ hours into the flight. Upon taking them off, the noise was almost painful and after a...

    Preamp on Record Player question

    Yamaha Avantage RX 1060 - It does have dedicated phono inputs. I figured that I could just use these inputs, but did not know if having a preamp on the record plater would be an advantage or useless.

    Preamp on Record Player question

    Hello All, Very basic question on record players. Is there a benefit if a record player contained a preamp if I am using the player with an audio receiver? I never used a player and recently acquired a large collection of records from our local library. I will be purchasing a basic...

    4k vs 1080p

    I purchased a 60’’ plasma about 3 ish years ago for $1000 on closeout (price lowered to $950 and then dropped by best buy). I sit about 13 feet back from the screen and find 1080 and up-scaled 480 content wonderful. Non up-scaled 480 from DVD content is great too. Personally, I am waiting...

    Good drive for ripping cd's to FLAC?

    I use a Pioneer BDXL, which works perfectly with all my media (CD, DVD, Blu Ray). Software for audio is iTunes and make MKV (and occasionally Ripit) for video. (I have used Windows Media Player and was equally happy) Audio is ripped to WAV, archived, and then I create any other formats (ALAC...

    Best way to stream movies from hard drive

    I also use make mkv player for video and a QNAP w/ HDMI out. I used to use PLEX, but switched to KODI in the last year and new looked back. PLEX is wonderful, especially if you love the cover art / metadata and info / etc, but I find KODI easier to manage. Plus, I prefer the user interface.
