I currently own an Arcam AVR300 surroundreceiver. One of the things about this is that when operating in "Stereo Direct" mode, every digital circuit is turned off, and it acts as a very good analog amplifier (or preamplifier as I have Midgard Audio Oberon ICEpower-based monoblock power amps to my front speakers). When using digital spdif input on the Arcam AVR300, I find the backdrop a little less "black", which means slightly less depth and dynamics when running "Stereo PCM" compared to a good analog input and "Stereo Direct". I have now ordered the Beresford 7510 mk6/3 (not much of a risk, given its price) and will test if this is good enough to be better than the "Stereo PCM" mode with digital input on the Arcam. We'll see... -- roffe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ roffe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37568 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
