  1. Will RUR power supply work 110v-240v? I need world friendly stuff. no spec on W4S site. thx
  2. late 2013 Macbook pro w/El Capitan and it doesn't like 2 DACs that I have here, one is C-Media 6631a Async USB to spdif, the other is Nuforce uDAC2. It does see the built-in TE7022 USB in my DAC that only supports 24/96. I will have to pickup and toslink to mini toslink cable and see how that sounds. I wanted to try an higher-end, maybe Xmos based USB to spdif, just not sure this machine will like it. May not be USB 3.0 issue, sort of seems like the OS. things were sort of jumping around in there, seeing, then not seeing the devices.
  3. Any luck? here is a list that might be helpful, i am also looking... still.. Amplifiers with HT-bypass - update 24.January 2015 with amp from Exposure
  4. I usually listen to just the Ushers without the subs for music. I know there are a lot of factors that can improve sound, but this was a huge difference. I just don't think i will ever get music out of this receiver like i would with a nice 2-channel piece. Thanks for everything, will work on the room first!
  5. Class D? I would like to hear it. So far have not heard any HT receiver that i liked for music, I bought several and sent them all back: Denon x4000 Marantz 7008 Emotiva UMC-200 + UPA-700 bought the Onkyo for something use "for now" and it turns out one of the more musical, still not there tho. I will listen to the SC-77. Been searching for a box to switch between 2 amps and one set speakers, nothing real high quality so far.
  6. Right now i have a nice HT setup, but it fails for music listening. Willing to invest some dough, but i do not have room for a separate 2-channel system. current system: Onkyo TX-NR818 Usher S-520 satellites and S-525 center channel speakers HSU Subs HTPC Windows 7 w/HT Omega Claro Halo sound card, ATI HDMI Out. Audio-GD NFB-12 DAC/Headphone amp all my music is in FLAC and use J River for music. With the Audio-GD DAC plugged into the Onkyo, really no real improvement in sound. no way to bypass the pre-amp in the Onkyo. face it, it works ok for movies, but fails for music. I do like to listen to just the satellites late at night for music. I have heard my speakers on a friends 2-channel system that is Cary Audio etc. and they sound *great* on that system, more than happy with that sound. budget is around $1500, and was thinking first of all a better DAC, maybe Audio-Gd Compass 2, then possible small Integrated amp with HT Bypass? i know that doesn't get high-end equipment, just looking for upgraded music listening. what about a speaker switcher, or just manually switch the speaker banana plugs when i want to do 2-channel music? was trying to toggle between the Coaxial out on my sound card for music, and the HDMI audio out for movies, pretty hard to always change all the settings so I gave up on that. not sure i heard a difference with my level of electronics anyway. thanks for any ideas, not sure which way to go at this point.
