The DAC in my usher cd-100 sounds better than the ps3 so far but the ps3 has some settings for bit rate and other sound settings but might only work through HDMI and optical. And keep in mind I still want to play my LP's so I dont want to take out the anthem, it sounds to good. So can I get a DAC thats optical in and rca out?
System edited: Well I changed alot of stuff but I need some advice on the preamp should I change to a digital pre? I dont know if the anolog gear is best for the new ps3 and also for movies and so on? I'm playing video via HDMI but useing the stock rca cheapos for sound. what is optimal for sound through the ps3. Opitical?
The previous post was after an hour or two of listening. After a week of listening I'm not sure if what I herd was just placebo effect favoring the tara lab over the monster, or it's not the interconnect's at all and what changed the sound was the power cords. I'm starting to think I am spending to mutch time listening to amps, wires, ect... I just need to jam out...bye!!!
Just up graded rca's from Monster M-series to Tara Lab Sprctrum 3a's . Picked up Low's and high's Makes for a better holographic soundstage....deeper, wider and some sounds are just in your ear and have no real placement out and around the speakers. Some thing I didn't hear with monster. Still would like to try the blue heavens. Also Apature Black Beauty BL-2's powercords for the Anthem preamp and The Atlas tube.
