While shopping for a pre/pro my assumption has been, based on my experience with a NAD T-770 receiver, was that all pre/pros do PCM digital to analog conversion. Recently, however, a sales guy selling MacIntosh home theater pre/pros indicated that this was not the case.After looking up the available spec's for all the pre/pros on my audition list, I discovered that the Bryston SP-1 and SP-1.7 are the only pre/pros that seem to advertise PCM digital to analog conversion capabilities.
Is there anybody who can push me higher up the learning curve here?
Thanks you in advance,
Mike Bear
Mike,I haven't run across any preamp/processors that don't handle PCM. This includes the McIntosh processors.
Methinks the salesmen was a bit light in the facts department.
Which model McIntosh? I'll take a look at it tonight from the website and see what it shows.
Regards,
The McIntosh MX134 Pre-Amp Processor is what I was looking at when the sales guy sent me down the wrong track.
I don't mean to be rude, but the sales person is not qualified to be selling the product.....Regards,
At the risk of sounding like a Panasonic schill......Speaking of PCM: I just received Panasonic's 2002 catalog, and for the top-of-the-line SA-HA200 receiver, it lists a digital "Multi-Source Re-Master" capability. It seems similar to Pioneer's Legato Link processor. It says it helps MP3 and WMA playback in particular (which makes sense). A 192/24 DAC is also used in this model.
I realize MP3's and $600 receivers aren't "hi-end", but I thought this was interesting, since they don't list this feature on their website.
