C\NETS Review of the unit is rather intresting. Wondering about the last thing which is said in it. Is it the power rating they are looking at? What are the Chips that are incorperated into the unit also?Just thinkin ...
The August Newform Research newsletter uses the Panny 45 in stereo bi-amping mode by using a Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve as an active crossover/equalizer between the source and the Panny.The downside appears to be that the Behringer requires analog input/output.
CaveatsOK, we have been preaching the advent of the complete digital chain. This isn’t completely digital all the way. There is one section of AD/DA as the Behringer only outputs analog and the Panasonic only takes analog for its multi channel inputs.
Scotty,My reference amp is an engineering evaluation unit of the ICEpower digital amp technology that is the same as used in the $3000 Danish eAR amp frequently mentioned in this forum. Supposedly the eAR has been tweeked with additional filtering and capacitance in the power supply. To my ears, ICEpower is the best amp I have heard and I've listened to a bunch of them.In the bass and midrange area the XR25 is very competitive. Dynamics are outstanding, particularly with digital inputs. The tre ...
Dumb question here....How does the XR25/45 handle incoming analog signals? If I configure the input as "Analog", will the XR25/45 do an analog>>digital>>analog conversion between the signal is output to the speakers? If it does, do it sound "transparent"??I am very interested in these units for 2 channel application, with the possibility of going multi-channel in the future.
How does this unit handle multi-channel formats? It might have been mentioned earlier, and I just failed to see it. I will need something for the PC rig, and this could very well be an excellent solution.
I'm pretty sure after reading this thread that I can hook up my DVD/CD player directly into the XR45 via a coax cable for CD audio, but will the audio tracks of a DVD movie also play via that output?
People reporting better results with the digital inputs are (I think) taking advantage of the XR45 better DAC.
