Up ko lang po....
tagal ko nang di nakasali sa dv600 via coax to avr discussion ah...
question lang mga sir... with the current set-up above sobrang gandang ganda ako sa sound if i'm playing dvd movies, dvd concerts and dvd music videos (with dolby digital or dts)... but if i play audio cd parang iba ang quality (seems kulang sa base... mas mahina ang LFE sound compared to dvd play... although same set-up naman while playing dvd), although hindi na dolby digital or dts ang nadedetect na source ng avr... its stereo instead... i tried switching to 7 channel stereo, pero hindi parin lumakas yung base... lumakas lang yung volume kasi pati sa surround may music na akong naririnig...
heto tuloy speculations ko...
1. normal audio cd kasi pineplay ko.... mas okay siguro ang pio600 in playing SAcd
2. need to switch to analog while playing cd... kasi using normal audio cd sa aiwa audio component namin maganda naman ang sound (with very good LFE sound).
3. sobrang maganda talaga ang dvd so hindi ko dapat i-compare ang sound to normal audio cd... pero may hesitation ako dito kasi gaya nga ng namention ko sa number 2, using cd player audio component comparable na ang sound ng normal cd to dvd playing in pio600.
Eksi try ko sagutin inquiries mo. First, there are difference in the playback resolution of your source, SACD, DVD-A, DTS-CD are recorded in high resolution format compared to our redbook CD's, but it doesn't mean they sounded better.
Basically digital playback requires D/A converter to hear them, If you are using HDMI or Coax/tosslink output of your source connecting your A/V Amp. these are digital outputs. That means, your A/VReceiver doing the D/A conversion.
Pls. note that the following source doesn't have digital output, only analog (LR/5.1)
* DVD-A
* SACD
You need to use many cables connecting your A/V amp thru 5/6 channel input
Now lets go back to your questions:
1. normal audio cd kasi pineplay ko.... mas okay siguro ang pio600 in playing SAcdI believe you are using the analog output of your player in playing your SACD then you compare your CD playback using digital connection, you mentioned that sounds get better if you connect your CD playback using the analog signal. This means your player has a better D/A converter than your A/V receiver.
2. need to switch to analog while playing cd... kasi using normal audio cd sa aiwa audio component namin maganda naman ang sound (with very good LFE sound). Assumin you are using the same player in the playback of your CD's & SACD this means your player have better D/A converter than your A/V receiver, better leave it this way.
3. sobrang maganda talaga ang dvd so hindi ko dapat i-compare ang sound to normal audio cd... pero may hesitation ako dito kasi gaya nga ng namention ko sa number 2, using cd player audio component comparable na ang sound ng normal cd to dvd playing in pio600.Might the number 1&2 answers this question.
For me two channel set-up sounds natural to me compare to muli-channel audio set-up. I didn't mean they are not good it's just a different listening experience when listening to multi-channel but I prefer the 2 channel whatever the source I have SACD or DVD-A.
By the way, DV600 is not good in multi channel playback of both SACD & DVD-A in my experience.
