tkot Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 i have the new moto hd/dvr cable box i have had this box hooked to an nad t-163 pre/pro for about 8 mos now. useing the digital outs it sounds "o.k." passable for movies and if i'm lazy at a party i put on the cable music stuff i recenty sent the nad in for a chip set upgrade and flipped four of my amps(front mains/ rear surrounds) to the analog outs on the moto and...."sssssssssssssssssssssssss" if your not using the digital out on this box and have a digital input on your pre/ avr ect. buy the cable and make this simple upgrade. jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It sounds like you have a ground loop from your cable box. Such ground loops are usually due to improper grounding of the input to the cable box. The digital Toslink optical cable breaks the ground loop.

oldtimer Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 For what it is worth, the analog outs on my "digital cable" motorola box also sound horrid. No ground loop problem, just bad. Every time I ask when HD will be available with spdif audio outs, I get the answer of next year, or after this spring or some such it's not soon answer. Charter Cable, slow to get with the times here. Be glad you have actual digital outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
