    Hello Folks. It has been a long time since I posted in this forum... Can you please suggest a good headphone amp for my system?

    How do I get the Chaintech AV-710 to do digital out for surround?

    Quote: Originally Posted by Mr.Radar The AV-710 can output pre-encoded AC3 (like off DVDs) but it can't encode AC3 itself (so most games won't be able to output in surround). Mr Radar, the problem is that I can not get the DVD encoded digital surround tracks to play as well...

    How do I get the Chaintech AV-710 to do digital out for surround?

    I am simply unable to get the 5.1 setup to output any center or rear channel sounds to the receiver. I am using the digital out, ac3/pcm autoselect option and am in 5.1 mode in the Audio Dec. I am using the 5.12 version of the Via drivers. WHen I try to test the speakers from the speaker...

    Strange smell from NAD amp (?)

    Not to understate the necessity for caution, but my NAD did smell a bit too when I was burning it in. As people said, use it only when you are there, drive it hard when you are there and hopefully either the smell will go away or, the amp will just give up. Either way, you will still be in...

    Not very impressed with Stax US importer

    I had emailed them requesting to know what places in New York or Miami Florida I could possibly go to to audition the Omega headphone.... Inspite of my sending two emails, I have not heard back from them. Given the cost these sell at, rather disappointed at their sales staff.

    should i go sacd?

    If you listen to classic rock, jazz and classical, SACD is definitely the way to go. This does not mean every SACD is going to sound better than the cd counterpart, but a large majority will. Good luck!
