Thanks for linking the bios patch btw your builds are great!!

im starting to notice the difference now after i changed some cables and started using jplay on win8 for music which i think is better. audivarna and jplay are feeding the digital music directly into the external dac. i assume this software is to improve the accuracy of playback. it really...

anyone?

i was just wondering if it could be possible that onboard audio is implemented better and is more accurate with windows 8 than 10.8.2 im just playing round with a hifi system here and jplay on win 8 and audivarnia plus on 10.8 and just wondering if theres any non native audio disadvantage for...

bought a couple of albums of hd tracks at 24/96 im using audivara plus and i have an arcam rpac and my onboard (up5 th) audio is 24/96 capable and switched on in settings. thing is i cant see any quality improvement over my cd rips am i deaf

oh im not looking to buy anymore gear and i dont plan to da any recording or mixing its just for listening, guess i should start another thread on what the real practical value of high resolution audio 24/96 or higher

this audivarna plus seems to make more difference than the onboard soundcard or usb dac (which i cant tell the difference between) music seems to be more free flowing and dynamic. or am i imagining the whole thing

ok thanks guys for chiming in there some things have changed since i last posted in the living room i have the yamaha rxv 473 and the ma bx5's which sounds great and does a variety of services, i do have some problems with room acoustics not much i can do only a rug and some heavy curtains...

since leopard when i first installed osx on a laptop after been told how much easier and simpler a mac was. had to see what that was all about and i wasn't prepared to buy a mac to find out. its ironic i have two macbooks and a ipad mini now

doubt they will suit my budget and wasted on my current amp thanks for chiming in all the same

Article: Building a CustoMac: Buyer's Guide January 2013 great addition an update list of compatible pars and configurations for all budgets and requirements

might not be the solution but have you disabled wake from lan in bios this can cause a reboot loop with this board

right got speaking to the store manager yesterday as i found another store selling the speakers for less and i asked him would match the price. he did so its not so bad i had to wait for them as it gave me time to shop around. any way i asked him about cable and he said its relative to the...

Right got the yamaha rx-v473 a/v receiver, brought the wife to the hi fi store, whom decided the bx2's were too big. was not very impressed but while we were there we listened to the bx2's and the bx5"s for me there was a vast difference between them the bx5s were superior. but get this she...

ok thanks anyway from what i read theres quite a difference between home equipment and studio ones for hiding faults the others for finding faults (granted a over simplification)

boomr has already stated the importance of using the DAC in the receiver, have you seen the models i was looking at the yamaha as500 hi fi amp and the yamaha rxv473, the question is will there be much of a difference with 2.0 sound between the these two with "monitor audio bronze bx2" will...

Happy new year!!! Although wasn't so happy yesterday, just got off the phone from a hi fi store, now I'm even more confused, he recommended the hi fi amp yamaha A-s500 over the av rx-v473 amp for much better sound, but the a/v amp would suit my situation better as my tv audio is poor...

i will have hdmi coming from my htpc. can i route the audio from optical and have video through hdmi do you think starting with only two speakers will work good enough or would i be much better to get the set its a bit pricy for me right now though at around $1400 (when you pay that for one...

great your original post showed up nearly all of my iTunes music seems to be m4a's, but i do see the setting for lossless encoding in the import settings, ill reimport some of my cds with this settings when i begin to get sorted because i'd probably not know the difference with my crappy speakers

PM received gratefully. ok i think I'm beginning to understand 1. source quality must be a lossless file type eg flac 2. no matter how good a receiver/amp is the speakers are more likely to be the limiting factor and deserve more than half the budget. initially i was looking for a...
