one for home, one for portable you are forgetting a dir1000c for movies And then, myself I added a clip on phone, for use when the portable can is not sutable: 1. When its so cold you have to wear a cap (works perfect with a cap, just clip on to ears and pull cap over them) 2. They are...

The only other high end ATH amp is the ha2002 isnt it? ie thats the only one available right now, and must have been the one they were refering to?

This battery tweak is only for longivety right? or can you improve the power of the amp with higher voltage batteries? or doesnt that exist... Ive got 4 Varta Photo Accu 2100ma lying around tho I use the supplied batteries for the pioneers..

That they look great is for certan tho. Too bad about the screws, they look old and used to me. They should have been completely black or completely something else

ooooo Bass control! nice And the wood clippie is nice also, wonder how it sounds since it seems its priced above the current ones. There was also two other new clippies on that page, more spartan looking ones

Quote: Originally posted by Fastjack Hmmm, I thought DD is AC3 encoded like the audio on DVDs. And AFAIK AC3 is a lossy compression much like mp3. Most of the game music is already compressed anyhow....... And DD, altho compressed, has great sound, just compare the sound of DVDs...

Well if you believe it will make a difference and want to try a better cable: From what I have read earlier, I would suggest this toslink: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1499 You can read about this cable if you search in the cables forum for glass toslink. Its supposed...

I'll rephrase. yes, you can use them for gaming, plug them into the digital out of your soundcard and you will get sound and I have done this myself. But, it wont be surround sound, it will only be 2d sound that you can process with dolby pro logic altho there's no extra pro logic channels in...

oh yeah, 409$ thats right, still its up 10$

Seems the price of the dir1000c has gone up tho -> 419$ wasnt it at 400?

The problem is that in order to play games with the pioneer, the sound from the game needs to be Dolby Digital or DTS (or dolby pro logic) and then you have to get it to the pioneer processor. I dont play so many games myself, and the ones I have havent had dd. If it was to work without the...
