    Advice on active audio

    You are correct that it will send 24bit/48kHz over hdmi to your receiver.. Which is slightly higher than CD quality which is 16bit/44.1kHz

    Advice on active audio

    I just wanted to try answer this question of yours specifically, too. The short answer is yes there is a bluetooth limitation for Apple's lossless codec called ALAC. And even If you aren't using bluetooth, you still have the limitation that Apple device DACs can do a max of 48kHz (which is...

    Are my woofers blown?

    So both woofers will not budge at all with some hand pressure? Is it like pushing against a piece of solid wood? Both? Sometimes when old speakers are dropped (not a big drop even a 3 inch drop to the floor) the old glue in the woofer magnet causes the magnet to slip and pinch the woofer...

    Advice on active audio

    Thank you Ken that's the HDCP spec. You're probably right that they were complaining about the no-toslink, specifically.

    Advice on active audio

    I think that your idea for an AppleTv box to a receiver can work well for you. Just check one thing. While I was thinking about your solution I read up that AppleTv boxes require some new version of HDCP or HDMI in order for the audio to be extracted from the HDMI. People were complaining about...

    Advice on active audio

    Would you consider a Wiim mini, or a Wiim Pro? They support Airplay2 which is CD quality. CD quality is good. Then you can pick up any [2nd hand] stereo amp and any [2nd hand] speaker set.

    Internet 🛜 streaming radio box ?

    Hey Zubz, how do you currently listen to internet radio (on your phone)? If you have a particular method of doing so already via your phone or laptop, and now just want a dedicated device to do the job, it would be good to confirm (even on this thread) that any particular device can take over...

    NAD 314 silenced

    If I were in your shoes I'd be super tempted to drive the doctor and his scope and multimeter back to my place to signal trace the silence, also using cool info like Ludo provided. Just throwing a thought at your interesting fault that is so consistent across 2 locations.

    Repair for Cyrus components - need advice please

    Strange frequency coming out of the speakers - that's a very good clue. So I want to respond to that specifically. One possibility is a drying out electrolytic capacitor. Especially on the powersupply. A technician shop ought to be able to measure-test all the electrolytic capacitors, it does...

    Repair for Cyrus components - need advice please

    Svenwillmann attached is a service manual for a Cyrus 6 integrated amp. Anyone wanting to check for component failure in the amp will want this. Does it look the same as your amp? I do not know if the "VS" in "6VS" turns your amp into a different model (or not).

    Anyone used an eSIM on CellC?

    The CellC store at Tygervalley Mall has helped me with an issue before. They didn't immediately know the answer but were tenacious and helpfully called around to escalated support until the issue got resolved. Also, I have heard that the iStore at the Waterfront is good at resolving even...
