The resolutions that are shown in your display depend upon the kind of connection you are using.

The tricky bit is that the BL5s are coax s/pdif and 24-bit/96kHz -- while the Airport Express is 16-bit/44.1kHz and optical toslink s/pdif. The AE clips the resolution, and the optical/coax requires a converter. By using a soundcard that has a coax s/pdif OUT you eliminate the need for a converter, and make it possible to feed up to 24-bit/96kHz files

Working backwards, you want as few steps as possible between the speakers and the source. I would recommend having a Mac mini, with a soundcard that has a coax s/pdif OUT attached via Firewire to the mini. You then connect the soundcard directly to the BL5s using a coax cable, skipping the wireless portion. You can control playback using either Screen

The BeoLab 2000 is connected with ML, through a splitter, to the BeoVision 8. These are then connected through a converter box (1611) to the Beomaster. I'm

Is it something in the water?

Mr. T - this is an instance where one can use a very elegant tool of elimination. I do not have knowledge of every valid blind test carried out as far as cables are concerned. The cable industry has fought tooth and nail against blind tests as a format for judging cable performance. If there was one - just one - statistically significant and procedurally

My cable confession. I'm the kind of guy who likes gadgets, and who loves tweaking. I've moved around a lot, which means I've divested myself of quite a few acquisitions during the years - if not, I would have a "Smithsonian" of tech gadgets in the garage, loft and basement of whatever place I'd been living in. Here it's

It's quite common to lock threads in enthusiasts' sites. When discussions have run their course, for instance -- or when they are clearly contrarian to the general spirit and intent of a forum.
