24 bit 192khz usb dac


Will it be better than sticking my USB into my $150 bluray player?

Have you tried plugging directly into receiver as a comparison? Especially since you said you weren't completely happy with sound through blu-ray player.

When i plug the usb stick into receiver, it actually does not recognize it. Only iphone is recognized

Are you taking the Audyssey measurements with the grilles on or off? If off, put the grilles back on and run Audyssey. The grilles will decrease the HF energy by a small amount. If you took the measurements with the grilles on, hang a small piece of toilet paper in front of each tweeter, put the grilles back on and re-run Audyssey. This will fake Audyssey into boosting the highs ever so slightly

I can also turn my Dynamic EQ OFF and be done with it.

I noticed that for regular TV programming the changed EQ that significantly lowers the 4hz frequency is fine. I hear natural sound, it's all good. For movies and music however, it makes the sound too dimmed, so ... Turn off the EQ that Audyssey set and it's much crisper.

what do you think?
