    YAMAHA RX-V6A - Options and Setup don't work on remote?

    I am trying to go through and configure my YAMAHA RX-V6A to work with my 2.1 setup which is now properly connected. All settings on the top-half of the remote work, but it seems that all the settings on the bottom half of the remote do nothing. Any advice for this? The screen does not change at...

    Got all my equipment (2.1 speaker system) need help getting connected

    Thanks guys. Feeling a little ill today so I'll stick with my current setup I tried on my own...optical from TV to Yamaha, then the pre-out goes to my Emotiva which connects to speakers and sub. Then I use the Pure Direct setting and it sounds very, very good better than my setup has ever...

    Got all my equipment (2.1 speaker system) need help getting connected

    End goal: TV as main audio source so that TV apps and game consoles also use the speaker system, but I also want to listen to music and watch movies from my PC at hi-fi audio quality. Specifically, I need very specific instructions on what cable connects to what in what order. TV: LG OLED B6...

    Over ear BT headphones that use "new BT tech"?

    I found some other thread from 2022 with users saying to hold off buying BT headphones due to some new tech coming out soon that allows BT headphones to be truly lossless or something like that. Is that tech out now? What is it called and what are some headphones that have the tech? Price range...

    What is my 2.1 setup missing?

    Here is my equipment and how it is set up currently: Audio source: PC audio, sent to LG OLED TV via HDMI > SPDIF out to PROZOR DAC > L/R RCA that plugs in to Emotiva Mini-x a-100. Audio is then output to my KEF Q300 speakers (speaker wire) and then the RCA output from the amp goes to my SVS...

    Bitreaming to external device - computer or receiver decodes?

    Given my setup, should I just use disabled/computer audio then? If enable it, I have to get up and change the volume on my amp as it doesn't let me change the volume on my PC, seems that the amp takes total control of the volume. My amp doesn't have a remote, but I have a wireless keyboard for...

    Bitreaming to external device - computer or receiver decodes?

    First, here's my setup: PC connected to TV via HDMI Amp/2 speakers/1 sub connected to my TV with a PROZOR 192KHz DAC I play videos from my PC to the TV, and recently installed K-Lite Codec Pack to fix an audio issue. It comes with an audio configurator wizard and I have the below settings...

    Moving PC speakers to TV? Input options?

    Interesting, how do I know if my TV doesn't do bitstream and would need this instead of a DAC?

    Moving PC speakers to TV? Input options?

    I miswrote those steps. My behringer is connected to the PC via USB, then the next step is it goes to my subwoofer. Also, I don't think my question was clear. The 2nd DAC recommended in this thread, it doesn't look like it has both L/R 3.5mm jacks? It looks like it only has one 3.5mm jack? Would...

    Moving PC speakers to TV? Input options?

    My current setup is PC as audio source > 2 LR analogs go to DAC > 2 LR analogs go to amp > speakers plug into amp. What sort of cable will I need to connect this DAC to my TV? Will it carry both the L/R signals? Ideally, I'd like to maintain this setup just by getting this new DAC and the cable...

    Moving PC speakers to TV? Input options?

    I think picking out a DAC that will plug into the optical of my TV would be the easiest option, thanks! I added model numbers to my main post.

    Moving PC speakers to TV? Input options?

    Hey guys, I appreciate you all suggesting me the KEF Q300s a few years back. I love these speakers. Lately however I've been plugging in my computer to a TV that is a room away, and I was wondering how you guys suggest I plug the speakers directly into the TV? Below are some screenshots of my...

    Car subwoofer & amp suggestion?

    Hello, I got my car speakers upgraded and now I'm looking for a reasonably priced 10" sub (with enclosure) and amp. I went to a local car audio store, and they priced me at something like $650 for a JL 10" sub with an amp and labor for installation included. Installation/labor cost at this...

    Medium/Small Over-Ear Headphones

    Hmm, I already have a pair of Sennheisers at home that are similar to that. Are there any interesting on-ear headphones with a "clamp" design where they clamp onto your ear (without squeezing too much or being uncomfortable)? Just for something different, I think that would be interesting.

    Medium/Small Over-Ear Headphones

    Yeah, on-ear is more what I'm looking for. I don't think it would be an issue if the sound leaks out at all, I listen at a pretty low volume anyways while working.

    Medium/Small Over-Ear Headphones

    Hello, I'm looking for some medium/small over-ear headphones to use while at work. I don't like in-ear headphones, and I don't want something full size because I don't want to look goofy at my work desk with some giant over-ear headphones. They don't have to be noise-cancelling---in fact, I...

    Is this the place for TV speakers? Looking for 2.1 or 2.0 speakers ($200)

    Hello, I'm looking to get basic TV speakers that don't require buying an amp.....2 speakers + sub, or just 2 speakers with really good built in bass. $200 is around my limit, any suggestions? Having some good cinematic bass is an important factor for me. Also, are "Soundbars" any good, or are...

    Why is this specific model of Sennheiser 2.0 $100 cheaper?

    This makes a lot of sense actually, amazon probably has to match the lowest price of certain stores that also sell products on their site. All good for me since I like the ivory color.

    Why is this specific model of Sennheiser 2.0 $100 cheaper?

    On Amazon.com, the following versions of this headphone are $349:   Ivory for Android Black for Apple Black for Android   But for some reason, the 4th type, Ivory for Apple, is only $220. Is this specific model known to be defective? Just wanted to check with you guys, in case any of you...

    Sennheiser 2.0: Is there a known defect with sound balance?

    If you go to Amazon's reviews page for the Sennheiser Momenntum 2.0, you'll see a long review saying how multiple pairs were tested and confirmed to have one ear sound louder than the other:   http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Momentum-2-0-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00SJ4IQ2S   I was split between...

    Headphones for laying down in bed ($80 - $400/$500 price range)

    I narrowed it down to the Sennheiser Momentum or V-MODA Crossfade M-100. Very tough decision. I like the Momentum because InnerFidelity's review describes it as audiophile grade, even good for music production (I don't make any music yet, but plan on getting into it), while I do like the idea of...

    Headphones for laying down in bed ($80 - $400/$500 price range)

      Thanks man, looking through that thread. V-MODA Crossfade M-100 looks good. What I mostly want to avoid is laying down, and then feeling the headphones be pushed upward off my ears as my head sinks into the pillow, know what I mean? I used to have a giant gaming headset and I remember that...

    Headphones for laying down in bed ($80 - $400/$500 price range)

      Hmm, I could definitely go for something a bit bigger than that. Bass is important. What about something that covers the ears completely, but is more medium sized compared to most ear-covering headphones?   EDIT: I found an old thread on a similar topic and someone recommended Sennheiser HD...

    Headphones for laying down in bed ($80 - $400/$500 price range)

    Whats some good over-ear headphones for laying down in bed? Being able to wear them while lying down with my head on a pillow is the most important thing I'm looking for. The insides of my ears aren't symmetrical, so in-ear headphones are often uncomfortable to me.   Looking to get a really...
