I just bought an Arcam DV135 second hand. I am experiencing two problems. One, when I try to play a CD while the player is also hooked up to my television, it emits a VERY loud hum. It hums when I use the HDMI connection and when I use the component...

Anyone no about the DVD5. This thing is built like a tank and I love the video but he sound is very harsh on CD playback. I have to set my preamp to -15 on the treble. I am using a Meridian 568 and DSP 3100 speakers.

I saw an interesting piece of kit today: http://www.lektropacks.com/view_product_standard.php?pr...=1001185&sub1=&show= I guess the quality is low, but it got me wondering if there was a better quality solution available so I decode PCM/HD audio from my PS3 and into my AV2. I know I could do with a Bluray player with 5.1/7.1 outs.

Hi,which Digital cable do AV people use between DVD5 and AV2 other than the DC1?Has anyone experimented between DVD5's analogue out and AV2 doing the DAC instead?I am very curious, though I'll soon be able to do the test myself since I am waiting for...
