    Hi BaronJack, i haven't tried the digital toslink, but maybe the upsampling is enabled? Only few external DACs can read upsampled signals and i guess this is not the case with your receiver. i think upsampling doesn't work with DVD so this would explain why you have no problems playing DVDs...

    DT-880 vs. CD3000

    This is indeed a bit confusing since there are two german versions on the beyerdynamic website. One talking about wohnambiente, the other one talking about the extension cable. but pay attention: jazz is from Switzerland and of course the Swiss speak Swiss not German. So he made a little...

    RKV question

    Hi, thanks for your input. Although 220 V and shipping is no problem (I live in the same town as this guy) I think I will follow your advice, ServinginEcuador. I sent the seller an email asking about age and condition of the amp. This is what he replied: “As per description.” And this...

    Has anyone had earwax build-up in their ears?

    Hi. A similar thing happened to me after a couple of earaches in a row. I went to the doctor and he used a small jet of water to remove the earwax. No big deal. Maybe you can avoid this by using the foam tips? A friend of mine forgot to remove a piece of cotton he put into his ear canal and got...

    ER4P the right choice?

    Hi Mike, go for it, these are amazing headphones with great sound. You don’t necessarily need an amp to drive them. I use an older sharp minidisk-player and it sounds really good from the headphone out even compared to my home setup (Rotel transport/dac combi and Naim Headline). Later when...

    New Sennheiser Headphones

    Hi head-fiers, yesterday at Saturn I could listen to both the PX 100 and PX 200 - connected directly to a sharp md-player. I can fully approve linis impression about the PX 200. The sound was kind of shrill with an apparent lack of bass. I was tempted to activate the bass boost, a bad sign...
