Good idea, but one shouldn't need to buy used to get this, and even then it will lack balanced stereo outputs which some powered speakers need. Not to mention the size, boatload of inputs, and amplifiers are overkill. Powered can easily be as-good and better than passive speakers and separate...

I reached out to all the mainstream receiver companies to tell them they should make the simple box I described. Maybe in a couple years we'll see a new option for $100-150! Given that smart TVs have become a totally viable central hub, and excellent powered speakers are widely available, it's...

Thanks dook! It's not documented whether the XDA-3 supports volume control via HDMI-CEC; hopefully it does. The functionality is overkill with analog inputs, USB, optical, triggers, and the entire front display. ashmelev, one downside with receivers is they don't have balanced outputs. And...

What's the best option for a box that takes in HDMI ARC audio, supports volume control with the TV remote, and has a high quality DAC for outputting line-level to powered speakers?

I found reviews comparing the two. http://noaudiophile.com/Behringer_Truth_B2031A/ http://noaudiophile.com/JBL_LSR305/ On the frequency response he said "Looks pretty good, but nowhere as good as the JBL LSR series." Also I see they're Class A/B which I guess means they're constantly burning...

Yeah, one of the perks of being in a standalone house. Does your Rockville also provide HPF crossover for the LSR305's?

I just want to say, the LSR305+310S is a mind blowing 2.1 setup. Some of the best $700 I ever spent. (with the Behringer UMC204HD used as the DAC).

Wrong; that was the first time I said I think it looks like garbage. Wrong again; I'm not mad. What a brilliant solution! You must be a genius.

Regardless of their intentions or decisions, the fact remains that 24fps comes from an archaic technical limitation a hundred years ago and I think it looks like garbage. Live performances aren't framerate limited, and the next-best thing in your home shouldn't be either. You spend all this...

Info online says that 24fps was selected for film about a hundred years ago since that was the minimum speed required for the mechanically-linked phonograph to produce adequate sound, and film was expensive so it wouldn't be as economical to go higher. I think this pretty much shuts down any...

This is a year old but hilarious nonetheless. Tom Cruise telling us to disable frame interpolation, and watch their 24 fps show "as the film maker intended". https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1544693970

I need a good 75", so a made the attached spreadsheet based on what Best Buy has for sale today for <$2500 and rtings data. There seems to be a lot of crap using 120Hz square wave backlight PWM, which is a nonstarter. The Vizio E-Series for $1180 looks acceptable, and you gotta step all the...

This is crazy, I can't find either setting you guys are referring to. Dr., I don't have the little message icon near the clock since I hid that a long time ago. Do you know of another way to get there? A pic of my control panel is attached, and that Ease of Access leads to my previous...

Or there's this, change the size of APPS AND TEXT, not the just the text and on a UI-component customizable level.

Dr., what do you mean exactly? pen, no results for that on Win10...
