    Desktop Speaker Amp Suggestions for 5.1

    You can also use Infrared repeaters to move the receiver elsewhere but still retain remote control usage. The VSX-1120 receiver even has an IR in. Think about input switching, volume control across channels, codec decoding, remote control, etc.

    what's the difference on the design of these 2 DAC circuit boards?

    You are talking about that daughter board on top that has the repeating rows? That's probably the R2R DAC section. Bunch of resistors. There can also be secondary circuits that are designed for stability that do not directly impact the source signal. Is R2R better? I don't think anyone will be...

    What's your 4k media playing hardware/software?

    Sony 4K player and Apple TV 4K. Outside of straight up piracy, what other viable media paths are there? You can't reliably rip 4K discs yet, unuhd is very limited in support (relative to say AnyDVD level of disc support). Getting HD sound to work is still a hassle. iTunes (one of the big...

    Trump Wants Postal Service to Charge “Much More” for Amazon Shipments

    So many people do not understand the President's tactic. He just says something arbitrary. And then stands back while everyone makes a mad dash to prove him wrong and in the process it creates a lengthy discussion all through out the country. Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the...

    Ideal RST Cache SSD

    Best case would be look for a drive that has good 4K random read/write, since that is what the cache software will be optimizing for. I did setup an Intel RST cache last year and you are right, it's not awesome, but it does take the edge off of using ONLY a platter drive. I would still...

    Go-To SSD These Days

    At this point, nearly all mainstream drives exceed real world consumer needs. There are only a few actual flash manufacturers as well as controller chipset manufacturers. So outside of the few big boys, most everyone else is simply repackaging a tried and tested solution. I have only had 1 SSD...

    Dolby Atmos. Fancy Marketing?

    To expand on this, they are moving to "object" based. So that it doesn't matter how many channels you have. The source material says play this explosion behind and to the right of the listener and the receiver translates that to a position based on how many speakers you have. So you could have...

    Which is More Important for Game Load Times: 4kQD1 or Sequential Read?

    Random 4K and Sequential represent the 2 extremes of usage a storage device can experience. Real life is somewhere in between, but is closer to the 4K random. 4K Random is usually what I look at. As noted, you aren't going to notice a real world difference between 300MB/s and 500MB/s or even...

    Converting 1 SSD system to RAID 1

    You can always backup the image to a 3rd drive, re-arrange the drives you wish to use and then restore your backup. Saves from having to do a reinstall, but requires a 3rd drive. (if you want to be a jerk about it, you can go buy a drive for this purpose and then return it and at worst pay a...

    Cloning an old HD to a larger SSD with partitions

    I have used "dd" Linux command and Easus. Both require booting into a separate environment. If you have Windows 7 you can use the backup/restore, but with Windows 10 Microsoft has messed up the System Image process and I wouldn't trust it. If you do a straight clone, you can always use Disk...
