Are the SPDIF inputs what I would be using to connect the receiver to my computer? Or is that optical out?
Also, what do you mean by test the volume pot? Sorry for being so noob :P
Alright awesome, I'll try to get my hands on it :)
One last question.. When I go to see the receiver (Marantz), is there anything I should be testing in particular to check the condition of the it? Or is just kinda like if it works it works?
Thanks so much for your help :)
Thanks for the info really help. However at this point I think the Topping or the Marantz would be the easiest choices for me... But the question is, which of them between the 2? :P
I know both will have enough power for me, I'm just wondering which will have cleaner sound.
I don't know.. I'm trying to keep it around $150.. $200 absolute max. But what do you have in mind anyway? Maybe if I get the amp now and DAC after it won't be too bad. But also.. My choices are somewhat limited because Canada has a really crappy selection compared to the US, or our stuff is a...
I probably should've mentioned I'm not using a DAC and am running off onboard sound right now.. So if any of these receivers has a good DAC, that would also be a huge plus too
Basically I know both of these have more than enough power for me (because I'm sure they're both much more powerful...
Hey guys,
Just looking for a receiver to replace my Sonic Impact T-amp that I'm using with my Energy C-100s/Klipsch Sub-10. I'm just looking for something that would be good for music from my PC in general, with some decent power and hopefully better reliability than my T-amp (started dying...
Cool, sounds good! Hope the seller responds soon :P
Thanks guys
Edit: Damn it I'm always missing out on these good deals! :@ It's already been sold -__-
I found a Denon avr-590 for $120 on craigslist (apparently new from an overstocked warehouse), and I was just wondering how the DAC on it is?
I just want to use it for my simple computer setup (Energy C-100s + Klipsch Sub-10), and I know its more than powerful enough to run the Energies, but...
Well I'm using it for my PC so its perfect for me, don't need the extra inputs. Also my budget is more around $150, but I guess that's low-balling it pretty hard isn't it? lol
Hi guys,
I'm looking at a Marantz SR7500 on Craigslist and the guy is asking me to make an offer, but I have no idea what it goes for :S Apparently it's in "mint" condition.. Can anyone help? Thanks
Haha alright, I don't really wanna get slapped now =P
But yea pretty excited to get this now, I just gotta wait for a day we're both free and go test it/pick it up! :D
Okay great, he has the remote anyway so all is good, and I got him to lower the price anyway ;D
Also, can you comment on the DAC? Would you recommend I hook up the receiver using optical out from my mobo considering I'm running off an on-board soundcard right now?
The remote is not a necessity though right? Would the receiver have all the functions of the remote available on the receiver itself? I'm not sure if he still has the remote, I'll have to double check with him
EDIT: Nvm, he said he has everything except for the box =)
Awesome, I'll try to get it as soon as I can :)
Also, do you guys know anything about the DAC in that thing? I'm running off my onboard soundcard right now.. I'm sure there must be an increase in sound quality if I were to use optical out right?
Edit: Oh yea, and this is my first time buying a...
