That's a beautiful setup, ssabripo! I thought I had some questions regarding seemlingly redundant connections, but it looks like you've actually used so many redundancies to tailor the output of different audio formats accordingly, or to use more specialized gear for them (Case in point: Analog out for MP3s on the PS3 to the X.25, while Optical to the DL3 DAC, and letting the Denon BD Player handle high-res BD audio content). It looks fantastic! So, do you play games on that PS3, or just listen to music? If you're looking for games with high-res audio, give the Uncharted series a try - Naughty Dog's engineers did a fantastic job including full uncompressed LPCM soundtracks on the disc for those of us with the systems to use them
EDIT: I forgot to add that your connection diagram is nothing short of amazing. Totally contemplating doing one for both my reference as well as another for my parents' A/V equipment, so they can hook it all back up when I'm gone. Easy to follow and fun to look at!- Bottom

for example, to take the PS3 vs Streamin Mp3 from server example you mentioned:
- when the server upstairs is on (which it is NOT always for several reasons), then most streaming audio (lossless, or mp3, etc) goes thru the laptop/dac/pre combo
- however, when server upstairs is down, or when I have company in a party, etc, I let the PS3 just do it...I lose 96 and 192khz bit to bit perfect transmission, but still, it's an alternative to when server is down.
- also, I rather keep the high end res connection to when I'm there, but let the PS3 handle the music for wife/kids.... dont want them pressing the wrong macro in the remote :B
Originally posted by RebelManYour system has matured VERY nicely over the years. Fantastic job ssabripo! :T
I have to say, the best equipment that has passed thru my system so far, from the entry level emotiva and bel canto stuff, to the various pre/pros (886, proceed avp2, anthem, etc), to couple of different amps and such, the biggest winners BY FAR have been the two pass labs pieces: the X2.5 Preamp and X250 amp.
Nelson Pass knows how to make near perfect equipment.

btf1980,
Absolutely love your room! The speakers, the gear, the room decor, wonderful setup!
What kind of headphones are those? I can't say I recognize them. I use a pair of Sennheiser HD555's and Audio-Technica A900's with a Nuforce uDAC. But only at my desk. The uDac is really nice for the price.
I'm tempted to buy a JL Audio sub... buy maybe next year.
A camera, passport, good music, good food and good company is all I need.- Bottom

Nelson Pass is truly a genius, and I'm not one to throw comments like that out there.
As great as the Mark Levinson N0.40 and Proceed AVP2 were, as great as classe SSP-75 and CP-65's were (have not heard the SSP-800), as good as the Halcro was, etc, when I plugged the somewhat "old" Pass Labs X2.5 pre, it was game over! ;x(
and of course, pass labs amps are known for being some of the most musical and transparent amplifiers in the market.
The pass equipment will probably be one of the few pieces that will stay with me for eternity.- Bottom

Hi guys,
Since I recently upgraded tot he HTM1D and have added some acoustic panels, I thought I should ad some new shots of my theater. I have to say I spend a lot of time just listening to 2 channel, either through my PC (toslink to SSP 800) or from my Apple TV. I feel like I am a lot more into music listening than I have been in 10 years, and thats funny since I started this theater 3 years ago for watching movies mostly. This forum has been a huge help in putting this system together, thanks to all of you for your input! Anyways, here are some pics:

Kahuna!
Magnificent, I love it :T One of these days I might decide to bite the bullet and get three 800Ds with three CT-600.

Thanks guys, it is great to share our systems, it feels exciting when people get new gear...and they are almost always evolving! I do feel like I am pretty much where I want to be, with some small tweaking here and there. I know my wife certainly thinks I am all done!
Wettou, now is the time! That would be an amazing front! Does your dealer have demos currently you could trade? That is how I ended up getting the HTM1D.- Bottom

Wow, Kahuna..you have excellent taste, sometimes you will see a mediocre room with excellent gear...functional but not aesthetically pleasing...your room has the gear, a classy look, the ambiance..it just flows so well...your set up is definitely top...just beautiful...just beautiful.- Bottom

Excellent! We have the same front stage (I don't know what you are using for surrounds), but I love your room.
I need a lot more work before my room is done!
Maybe I persuade myself to post some pictures of my set up before the room is finished!- Bottom

Kahuna, I said it once before and I'll say it again. IMPRESSIVE!!!
What's next? A anamorphic lens and a huge 2.35:1 screen?- Bottom

Thanks Chris! I think I am ok for now...the 303 has yet to run out of gas! :T
My wife will kill me if I do much more "obvious" stuff...hehe
Jargon, I am running 803Ds for the rears...really fills the rear in well.

Hehe! :T
I am too running 803Ds for surrounds and by the end of this week I will receive two more 803Ds + a pair of SCMS for a complete 9.2 setup. I grabbed the SCMS just before they disappear for the sake of playing around with height speakers.
Yet, this week or early next week I am also receiving two big bad subwoofers and then I am done with speakers and will concentrate more on electronics from the on.
I will post pics once everything is into place.- Bottom
