I think that the Video world has always been based on objective measures of performance, agreed to by experts and published as a standard. That includes the development of perceptual audio and video coders. (ex:mp3) Granted that has been fraying a...

Rob - of course I have heard of (and listen to) DTS-HD MA and TrueHD.
I’m not sure I understand your point.

Great responses to my original post. Seems like there are a lot of good reasons why proprietary codecs are not a problem in the HT world. Also with DTS and DD there are two major players competing and innovation is happening as a result. One fear...

Thank you. I consider the D-08u very very “vinyl like”/analog, even more so than the new D-10x, which is excellent in its own right and offers some advantages over the D-08u. However, the D-08u via USB didn’t shine as much as the D-08u with...

Drivers are hired to lift up to 75 pounds. Anything over this and you risk them kicking it off the back of the truck.

Is the wood on top? The 595 is wood all around, not just sides.
I asked Luxman and this is what they told me.
Maybe that’s why Accuphase costs more here!

The REASON is that US government regulations don’t allow wood over any piece of equipment for CSA safety reasons. Japan apparently isn’t concerned.

We’ve noticed a bigger increase in performance using Roon. It went from a 7/10 to maybe an 8/10, while TAS remains a strong 10/10 for Sonics.
