Kind of also works with Michael Caine in the shot.

Hi, Alex is right - the philosophy being that the BL5s are perfectly neutral speakers, and that channeling s/pdif to them, from the source, then provides you with a very close approximation of what's actually on the CD. I'm wondering about your set-up, though. Are you switching Option settings according to what you're using as a source?

moxxey: Razlaw, let's concentrate on the BS3 and get some hard facts. One thing I did read though was if your Blu-ray player can show the current "audio bitrate that would indicate which track is being decoded. DTS-HD HR is variable but should have bitrate >1.5Mbps and peaks much hihger. DTS "legacy" will be a flat 1.5Mbps CBR

It is amusing, isn't it? Since Home-Theater buffs the world over are searching high-and-low for processors that are truly HD-Audio capable, you'd think B&O would trumpet it if their BeoSystem 3 was capable of true HD-audio.

I haven't listened to the 2500s anywhere else but in your listening room, Frede, and there it was quite enjoyable! Your experience has me nodding, though. I have been fooling around with channeling L/R to my rear surrounds, but only the top mid and highs, and somewhat lower than how the signal is piped through the front speakers. The result is as

Martin, This fun little slugfest would make more sense if you accepted the point. I'm perfectly aware that BeoSystem 3 can process 24/96 in two-channel mode. I am not convinced it will process DD or DTS full resolution in all channels, since that is not spec'd for. I'm listening to 5.1 music with 24bit/192kHz resolution on all channels as

Multi-channel, yes. 24bit/96kHz, yes. But can it handle 24bit/96 or 192 kHz in all channels? (The audio processor is 32bit in BeoSystem 3, but it's the sample rate through all channels that is crucial). Remember my example with the Pioneer above which dropped the sample-rate for multichannel, from 2-channel?

Yes! No! Yes! No! Martin - it's down to whether BeoSystem 3 can handle the huge datastream. I own BeoLab 5 speakers. These can take an analog or digital signal. No matter what type, the incoming signal is first upconverted to 24/96kHz. Then it's processed by the speakers' sophisticated circuits, and then it's sent on to a 32bit final

Exclamatory punctuation is always fun. Particularly in telegraph style. Let's approach this from another angle. (Cribbing from Absolute Sound). The issue is the ability of the unit to process a stream of data. DVD is limited to Dolby Digital (DD) and DTS (the uncompressed PCM 16-bit/48kHz stereo audio on music titles is also an option, though inferior

The upgrade gives you a fancier keyboard, but I find I can navigate easily using the free version, and have no trouble opening and closing programs, etc. I'm using it to control my Mac mini - haven't had the desktop up on my flatscreen since I installed this app. BTW - there are a number of interesting remote app's for those running WinAmp
