Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
I am not disputing the pricing of this unit, it is ultra high-end, no question about that. You need both Fords and Ferraris in this world.
I just wonder if all those extra high end power regulators and circuits will actually make a difference in the end.
Isn't the signal supposed to be digital with HDMI? Meaning, exactly equal to what is being read on the disc, transmitted to the TV?
I mean, 0 or 1, you either have it or you don't. I could understand those kind of units better when we were analog tbh...
If vibration was an issue, I'm sure a simple read ahead buffer would fix occasional errors. And as you say, Blu Ray is digital virtually from end to end except for someout analogue audio outputs. The claims made of this player sound like audio/videophile nonsense.
I agree greg - this thing is sending digital data. The amp is converting it to analog. What a waste - I love when people blow money on overpriced nonsense.
