![]() ![]() ![]() I don't remember the results but can likely find them. As well, Gene** also mentioned that some bass management would still be available even in such mode/analog input.ġ) Amir did the test and clarified that in fact if analog input (again he uses CD input, but I know it is the same for any analog inputs) is used, then even in stereo mode ADC/DAC would be bypassed as long as you set speakers to large, no sub, no bass management.Ģ) I have used REW to find out what happened to the frequency response if I use analog input and direct mode with the sub on but XO set to whatever. On that, I don't remember their exact wording in the response but basically they still maintained ADC/DAC would be bypassed in DM/PDM analog inputs. I also challenged Marantz about if that was the case then how come in direct mode I could still select speaker small, set XO and the sub would still work. ![]() So I email Denon/Marantz support and they confirm I was correct. Sort of, before I asked Amir to do the test on Stereo mode (he usually use the CD input) analog input, I always thought direct/pure direct mode, analog input would by pass the ADC/DAC path based on the block diagrams. I haven't done so since I implemented the A110. Now, this was more important when I owned the X4700, now that I have the A110 I suppose I should listen again in Stereo with fronts set to small, with subs, and see what I think. The Polks go deep and sound very good, but initially I bought the PB-3000s based on their ability to play music in sealed mode with accuracy and very low distortion so it's a bummer to not be able to engage them unless I bypass the Gustard DAC. Then I went down the rabbit hole the Gustard has a superior DAC (and measurements) to both the Node and A110 but you can't stream directly to it except for wifi all my gear is running via Ethernet and using the Node 2 s the front end UI and the Gustard as the DAC in D/PD modes has produced excellent results. I wanted to not like Tidal but ends up its the favorite of the streaming services I've used so far and now because of access to the military discount it is just as affordable as all the others. I did use HEOS when I had Amazon HD but I got rid of Amazon as the user experience for me was lacking compared to Tidal. Information I've found on 2CH Stereo Mode set to Large for LR, SW to yes, LFE+Main and Audyssey bypass for LR is pretty vague, and many of you have a much deeper understanding of listening modes and how the processor responds than I, would this arrangement achieve what I am going after? Bass management would be nice without digitizing the playback in the LR channels, but that doesn't seem possible in my brain.Ĭlick to expand.I agree 100% on LR being set to small in every instance except critical listening to two channel music (in Direct or Pure Direct). Can I do this without digitizing the signal and therefore making my X16 redundant? Soon I'll be in a much larger dedicated space and I'm thinking I may wish to engage two PB-3000s in sealed mode for some (or all) music. I'll spare you all the subjective superlatives to describe what I am hearing, but lets just say it sounds really good. I've been listening to 2CH via Tidal and NAS in Pure Direct through my LSiM 707s and it is remarkable. Thanks to and I am using an A110 with a Node 2 via coax to Gustard X16 analog to the A110. Like many of you here I am a constant tweaker. ![]()
