wonderfulelectric: Oh no... not upsampling. Some of the methods have not changed but the techniques sure did improve. Anyways go www.stereophile.com .............. That'll be the site that advocates replacing your current CD player with a Playstation 1 then!

Alex: wonderfulelectric: Peter, if the best sound quality you have heard is from the Beosound 9000 or you think Besound 9000 provides adequate sound in today's terms. Oh! you are missing so much. Cd playback has advanced so much in the past couple of years that if you were to listen to what good cd players have to offer nowadays, you might be floored

Taking proper antistatic precautions isn't expensive (see HERE for suitable earthing points, wrist straps and cords etc.). If you do this sort of thing regularly then it is a very worthwhile investment. The trouble is that you can do without and seemingly get away with it - however the damage may have been done and the failure will happen at some

benjnz: I don't think we have much to worry about. A clear direction is always a good one, then again if they stuff up they can always blame the "Current Economic Climate" (hands up all those bored silly by that tired old phrase being an excuse to do anything stupid these days). I think a lot has happened, they were a bit slow off the

wonderfulelectric: Puncher: wonderfulelectric: Erm... no the digital outputs straight from computer are littered with jitter (timing errors) so it's kinda a bad idea. This might be very stressful for the converters built in the Beolab 5s and thus losing lots of their splendid sound. Whole idea is to use an external USB activated re-clocking machine

koning: The bevision7 32" with non hdmi.........come on!....anampersand open your eyes. I do think ampersand may have had his tongue firmly in his cheek when he typed this!

wonderfulelectric: BTW it is recommended not to install an internal soundcard. It will be best to buy an external one as the environment in the computer is way too noisy for high res audio. USB/firewire connections are recommended too because it's a 2 way communication sys thereby the zero and ones in the digital signal can be synchronized. Agree

Can it handle Apple lossless?? Nice Ad - If only things were so simple now

Alex: ................ of balanced connections, which are frankly wasted at line-level. ...........not actually true but I will agree XLR connections are of little or no use in the consumer hifi/video arena as little else in the market uses them. Balanced connection however is used in your existing Masterlink system - the audio signal is a balanced
