Does anyone know if you use an external dac with the k01xd do the filters settings make a difference or not? Does it just go over raw or processed based on the filter settings set in k01xd?

I asked Boulder and they did not have experience. Was curious if anyone else hooked up REL subs (in my case 2 REL carbon specials) and which wires went to what. The owners manual has good instructions but not 100% sure which category my 2160 fits under, thanks.

I am thinking of playing around with signal ground on my system next to see what happens. I have a Luxman c900 preamp and m900 monos and an esoteric k01xd. All have a signal grounding terminal in the bAck. The owners manual says the following below from both Luxman and esoteric. I was...

Looking to purchase a Panasonic DP-UB9000 movie disc player. i only want to use it for video and have the movie sound fed through my standalone dac for the improved sound quality (esoteric k01xd dac). any experience with this?

Just hooked up my qx5 to my DX5 and the CDs are now playing through Qx5 nicely via AES/EBU connection and in dac mode. When I insert a movie into DX5 all I hear is scaring sounding pops and cracks. I have the qx5 set to video and it still making scary opposing noises, any advise?

I am new to the stand alone DAC game. I just bought a QX5 and I have a DX5. The first thing I want to do is use my DX5 CD player to feed the QX5. I bought a high quality USB cable a yr back that never used can I use this to connect them, are there better options? Please advise thx
