Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SBR with Meridian
Phil, The center is taking the role of master, as per documentation on setup of DSP's. The 565 has some distortion unless output is stereo only, which is why i was trying to bypass it altogether by plugging into the digital input 2 on the speakers. The rears are B&W 603's 'powered' by my old DSP-A1, (wife not permitting any further purchases).

Surely if you are sending a stereo file (flac/wav etc) via the sb spdif to one of the 565 inputs, the centre wont make a sound?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SBR with Meridian
Not wishing to highjack the thread. I have the following meridian setup 2 * 7000's 1 * 5000c and a 565V3. I have spent a couple of hours trying to convince the 7000's to work with the SB ignoring the Center. Is this possible or just adding to my woes (the amp distorts anything other than stereo output). M say the centre should always be the master, but i'm thinking that if i want the 7000's to run stereo and ignore the centre the only way is to make one of them the master. help appreciated. -- W1NDRUSH Regards, Andrew SB3 + Meridian DSP 7000's SB3 + DSP-A1 + B&W 603's W1NDRUSH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46561 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SBR with Meridian
I have dsp5500's , connected directly , I do have a 518 which I tried , but find that whatever setting I use , it actually changes the sonics , and not for the better , it removes the drive from the music, even in bypass (the meridian still acts on the signal in bypass) Worked much better with just the SB and a Kimber D60 digi cable. I don't actually have my SB "directly" connected right now , Im using a Z-sys RDP-1 parametric eq. When I tested the SB and my meridians , the Z-sys wasnt in the loop. -- Rodney_Gold Sb3/Z-sys RDP1/meridian DSP5500's TP/X-cans v3/Senns 650's TP/TACT 2.0/SCM 50a's TP/Meridian DSP5000's "The nicest thing about smacking your head against the wall is...the feeling you get when you stop" Rodney_Gold's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14618 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46561 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Cheers Phil, I'll give that a go.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SBR with Meridian
Option 3 is the only one that makes sense. AFAIK the output of the Duet/SB3 is 24-bit. You don't need to "upscale" it. I can't see the point of the 518 these days TBH. In 1995 - sure. Anyway, why don't you just try it and see. Your 5200's are already upsampling to 24/192 internally anyway. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46561 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SBR with Meridian
I now have a Duet SBR connected via digital to my Meridian DSP5200 speakers - which accept 24 bit input. I also have a Meridian 518 which I have been using to upscale the 16 bit audio from my old Roku to 24 bit. But now that the SBR outputs 24 bit I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for what to set? All my music is WMA Lossless. I have read the forums and set the SBR to output at fixed volume and all the gain stuff is turned off. I have set the Bitrate limiting to no limit and the LAME quality level to highest. So which option should I go for? 1. Should I keep the 518 in the loop and let it assume the SBR is outputting 16 bit so that it takes those first 16 bits and upconverts with signal shaping to 24 bit? 2. Should I set it all to 24 bits 3. Should I take the 518 out and connect from SBR to DSP5200's direct? I'm currently leaning towards the first option? Any other settings or tweaks I should make? -- bov bov's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16983 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46561 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
