12/29/2023 0 Comments Setting up crossovers in pure music![]() ![]() The Polks go deep and sound very good, but initially I bought the PB-3000s based on their ability to play music in sealed mode with accuracy and very low distortion so it's a bummer to not be able to engage them unless I bypass the Gustard DAC. Now, this was more important when I owned the X4700, now that I have the A110 I suppose I should listen again in Stereo with fronts set to small, with subs, and see what I think. I haven't done so since I implemented the A110. Sort of, before I asked Amir to do the test on Stereo mode (he usually use the CD input) analog input, I always thought direct/pure direct mode, analog input would by pass the ADC/DAC path based on the block diagrams. So I email Denon/Marantz support and they confirm I was correct. ![]() I also challenged Marantz about if that was the case then how come in direct mode I could still select speaker small, set XO and the sub would still work. On that, I don't remember their exact wording in the response but basically they still maintained ADC/DAC would be bypassed in DM/PDM analog inputs. As well, Gene** also mentioned that some bass management would still be available even in such mode/analog input.ġ) Amir did the test and clarified that in fact if analog input (again he uses CD input, but I know it is the same for any analog inputs) is used, then even in stereo mode ADC/DAC would be bypassed as long as you set speakers to large, no sub, no bass management.Ģ) I have used REW to find out what happened to the frequency response if I use analog input and direct mode with the sub on but XO set to whatever. I don't remember the results but can likely find them. ![]()
