Have you had the opportunity to listen to recordings through hardware with MQA ability built in to compare with Hi-Rez?

This is a very late response. I've been away from my A/V world doing house and yard maintenance during the nice weather we had in Minnesota lately. I like the tactile aspect of this hobby of ours. It would be nice to do an A/B comparison. If I found no difference, it would be nice to know I...

Thanks for the feedback. The unit is being replaced, internet connection problem. I will get into the Pay-Fi features when I get the new unit!

My Marantz AV 7005 had a Network/USB Input option. I played my 000's of CDs copied to my PC via Windows Media Player through the Network/USB input. I have a new Dell laptop which I plan to use strictly for AV purposes. I hope to copy my Media Player files to the new Dell eventually. I am...

Is it possible to use the ethernet connection as a input for the Anthem AVM 60? I am trying to use the media player on my PC to play music through the AVM 60.

This type of entry into building your own amps is what I am looking for. Thanks for the heads up!

I recently developed spare time, I just retired! Kits do sound interesting but I would need to start small and work up to something like that. Do you use a regular source for kits?

I walked into my favorite A/V store and found an open box special with full warrantees for a Anthem AVM 60, just over half price. I received approval from my wife to pick it up. I also was told from my wife what her surprise Christmas present would be. A win win, but I believe I got a...

The closest thing I have found to "all the bells and whistles" for my 7.1 setup is a refurbed/updated Emotiva XMC-1. I don't believe this has MQA. Are you aware of MQA Processors on the market or hearing MQA is coming to processors as a standard feature? Audio is most important to me, but I...

Do you see MQA becoming main stream within 2 years? I like what I have heard, but I haven't seen a big push by hardware manufacturers to include this feature. Maybe a niche market item only?

As I have looked at various brands with 5 to 9 channels. The cost is less than half of the more common 11-15 channel models. I will never have more than 7 channels. It would be nice to save $1K or more and spend it on bi amping my Khorns.

Have you seen any 7.1 processors (2 SW outs) with "everything" included?

I have taken several measurements. I would like to know what the typical graphs or charts should be used to "fix" problems. Is there a list of what to address 1st, 2nd etc. Are there examples of what a perfect graph/chart would look like after corrections are made. I have no background in...

I gave my computer a 2 day time out and a stern talking to. Then I started the process again for the 3rd time. Finally got the Preference screen close to where it should be. I had to play around with the ASIO control panel and Reload to make things work. I am not entirely sure what I did to...

OK, picked up the HDMI cable. Went through the PC setup and started REW a couple of times. As I enter the information for ASIO Preference screen, the 2 HDMI and 8 other choices that showed up the first time I was on the Preference screen no longer are in the drop down box the second time I...
