    JC 7 and BD 1

    OK, what about this?

    JC 7 would be a serious preamp built on the JC 2 platform but placed into the C1/JC1 size chassis. It would have two sets of 7.1 audio inputs, one set of 7.1 audio outputs and maybe a few 2 channel inputs. No digital decoding as that would take place at the source.

    The BD 1 would be a serious Blueray player (also built with the C1/JC1 chassis size) with 7.1 analog out, various video outputs, various digital outputs and inputs as the audio DAC inside will be killer, killer, killer.
    Plug all of you highend sources into the BD 1 and output to the JC 7.

    Just a thought for the true high end guys... HDMI is great but not sure if it will always sound better than better quality analog gear/cables? You can always upgrade digital source and keep the investment you made in the "preamp"...

    JC-7 would be nice, but would definitely be a "niche" unit. Now, a BD-1 on the other hand, would freaking ROCK. The industry could use a high-end BD player, especially a Halo model with balanced outputs, BNC, HDMI 1.3, etc. Would be awesome if it had the full gamut of capability playing discs, truly universal.

    I'm all for pursuing high-end digital instead of hanging on to multichannel analog.

      A fully Digital Volume Control for the DCX2496 users
      by Victor
      I while ago there were many discussions regarding the implementation of the volume control for the DCX2496. I use the combination of the DEQ2496 and the DCX2496 to realize most the EQ needs of my full range 3-way dipole system. Until now I have been using two motorized 4-gang pots from Alps. The pots,...

      Digital outputs on receivers for source switching?
      by netarc
      I'm considering using the Yamaha YSP-1000 "speaker bar" in a secondary room; although the speaker has its own amp and provides for source switching (i.e., you don't need a receiver), said source handling is limited.

      So I'd planned to hook up a receiver at the front end and send...
