Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Decided to go with apple's airport express A1392. Awesome little device! Also avoids the problem of bluetooth compression.

It outputs digital using a combined mini TOSLINK and conventional 3.5mm port, both in one...

Thanks! :D

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

It does have bluetooth 4.0 already built in.

Any models you would recommend specifically for use in my scenario?

Many thanks!

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Thanks Grant Bunter, yes I was referring to the fact that I still don't know whether it is possible to use a digital bluetooth receiver with the minidsp and if so, which one. I want to have bluetooth setup as soon as possible because the minidsp will be located in a location that is not useable for ...

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Sorry for the double post... I have managed to sell the drive rack pa and mic. Now looking into buying either the minidsp 2x4 or the HD version. Is the minidsp UMIK-1 a good mic for this kind of application? Any other recommended mics? I am planning on using REW with the minidsp and mic. Any thought...

Re: 2 x 36" THT LP with front firing mouth

One more question: Planning on working on the finish for the THT this weekend... I was wondering what I should fill the screw holes with? I am not planning on painting it, so perhaps something that will somewhat match the color of the wood? I am planning on staining them or simply varnishing. I know...

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Thank you Bruce, Tom and Seistres. Interesting read on FIR filters... I will stick with the drive rack for now and will post a new thread once I install my system. I will keep the minidsp in mind and if the opportunity to sell the drive rack comes up I will probably do it. Will not be until Septembe...

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Thanks for the input Bruce, I tend to agree with you and am not sure I would notice the difference between a well installed drive rack vs a well setup minidsp. I do not know though, as I stated previously I am quite incompetent :( . I am open to any more advice and would consider a minidsp if someon...

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Ok so I have looked into the miniDSP. One problem I am encountering is that I do not believe I am competent enough in EE and electro-acoustic eng. to know what to do with something like it. I am just trying to be honest here, I am not too sure what "FIR" filters are and much of the jargon ...

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Very interesting.

I will get back to this after the sun goes down, beautiful outside right now enjoying the summer while it lasts! 8)

Thank you for the input though, greatly appreciated.

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Hello seistres and thanks for the input.

Would you recommend I even sell my dvx driverack PA I purchased for 280cad in order to get a minidsp?

Why?

I would consider this, as I can probably sell the drive rack for more than I paid for it.

Many thanks for the input!

Re: Looking for an amp recommendation

Updated! I will be buying the bryston 3b this weekend! I found one for 325cad! :slap: Unbelievable price! If anyone is opposed to me getting this amp please do share your thoughts. I am seriously open minded and am entirely open to last minute decisions if there is enough conclusive evidence that wh...
