    Direct or pure direct...

    I would think bipassing an avrs Digital conversion is a good thing to do unless you have a very hi end avr... and maybe not even then

    I have a new Cambridge CXR120. To me the more I listen I like the music much more with Direct “Off.”

  2. I just received my new Meridian Explorer 2 DAC and can now unfold MQA files to get the full Monty.

    question 1: I’m going into my receivers analog input instead of using the digital Toslink input. Is this the right thing to do. I’m thinking this keeps it from going thru my receivers DAC. 

    Question 2: there seems to be a huge difference in my Direct Mode while listening to MQA files. Is this normal. When listening in Direct Mode the music is brighter and wider with much less low end. I really like to feel the music so I like some bass in 2 channel. Is this normal??

  3. Just got this Luxman R-117 “Monster” out of the shop. I had it completely gone over just for this sale. The technician flushed the controls/ replaced speaker relays/ tested. All lights work and also buttons. If you’re reading this you know all about this beast! It makes my Klipsch Chorus ii’s sing. I’ve had it on non-stop for 24 hours. Playing all my fav’s thru it. Like they say it’s sound is a bit warm and tube like. 

     

    Fully functioning remote RR-117 included with new batteries.

  5. Looking for advice. Im a newby and have now acquired a Luxman R-117 "Monster" receiver and a new Cambridge CXA60 Integrated amp. The Luxman is being rebuilt or I would just give this a try. I love the warm unique sound of the Luxman, but also really like the modern day backside and connections of the CXA60.

     

    My question is it possible to combine these two and have one lovely warm sounding setup with a great preamp that is modern day??? Would the CXA preamp neutralize the sweet sound of the old Luxman amp?

     

    Does this make sense?

    Are you plugged into the aux-input on the front of your CXA60 with a 3.5mm cable from the Chromecast Audio?

    Or are you using an optical cable from the Chromecast Audio to a Toslink input on the back of the CXA60?

    Using the toslink optical

  7. I’m just wanting to figure out what my Cambridge CXA60 is outputting as a final file. I want to ensure that I get everything out of Tidal HIFI that I can. I just installed a Chromecast Audio last night. I read directly from Cambridge Audio that they are not supporting MQA. Here is current snapshot of what’s playing now. 

    Mainly I want to know if I’m streaming higher than CD quality. It sounds amazing.

    A pair of RCA cables will suffice until you get some jumpers.

    Thanks Bill got it working by using a pair of RCA cables for a temporary fix. 

    Next problem left speaker cuts out and I hear static when moving volume knob. I looked up how to clean the volume pot and ordered a bottle of Deoxit D5. Seems like a simple fix. 

    I’m actually taking it to a guy here in Little Rock Monday. Gonna have him take a look at it.
