Thanks for the detailed reply. I think the source was a DTS cd. I'll borrow a track to see if that works. If so, I may be buying some of those myself. -- zooropa320 2 Channel Setup: SB3 * Benchmark DAC1 * Classé Audio DR-15 mono blocks * Magnepan MG 3.5Rs * REL Strata III Music Server: Lian

I think some music works very well coming at you from all directions. A lot of music wasn't conceived purely in a "band up here, audience over there" configuration. To force every surround project into that is to severely limit the expressive possibilities, and why do that? Listen to the Quad v

Without having done the easy bit of math, at a minimum you'd need a very very good 802.11b wireless connection for DVD-A to even have a chance at working. After that, it's a question of whether there's a processor fast enough in the SB to feed that data properly to the DAC. Other than that, I'm
