Please log in for more thread options I currently own a Harman Kardon AVR-630. the sound quality is pretty good. However, i am having a problem with the DAC's (at least i think it's the DAC's). Whenever i switch between digital audio sources, or whenever i have a DVD that switches between Pro-Logic, DTS, DD, etc, there is always a period of about 2 seconds where there is no audio. the receiver is trying to locate the digital signal, and while it's looking for it, that means no audio for a couple seconds. Also, if i want to hook up my CD player digitally, the first 2 seconds of the first song i play is also missing. Now, i was thinking of switching over to a Denon AVR-985s/2805. From what i remember, they use Burr-Brown DAC's which do not suffer this problem. i used to have an old Denon AVR-1802, and never had this audio lag problem with digital sources. (i also like the auto-setup for surround sound, and the component upconversion features, which my HK lacks). Can anyone confirm that this info is correct? Anyone own this Denon receiver that can confirm that it does not suffer the problem i am having with my HK? Anyone able to SOLVE this problem with their HK? anyone know if i can download via RS-232, the upgrades for component upconversion? Thanks for any input. Paul | |||||||||||||
