It seems to be a compatibility issue between the 80.2 and the B&K ex 442.The thumps do not get louder as the volume is increaced,but every time I get a relay click I get a thump out of the two speakers hooked up to this amp . I measured dc voltage out of the main out rca and found that by turning the bass up or down for instance, I would get a 1.5 mv jump on my voltmeter,then it would go back down to zero, volume set at minimum, I think this dc voltage is going into my amp and my amp is reacting to it . This did not hapen when this amp was hooked up to my lexicon dc-1.Anyone else have this problem, or measurment, Thanks

On my old TAG AV32R bp-192 the analogue bypass/input was pure with a well designed lineamp and electric controlled volume.
I was beliving the 80.2 unit was build by same way?

You can do that quickly in the setup menu, or you can switch from the normal sound mode to Direct. You can even set up so that Direct converts DSD from SACD's directly to analog. To me, it's no contest. Audyssey wins every time - 2 channel or multichannel. But, it's your choice.

I am looking for a way to do this that will provide quality audio play back. and allow me to view and play playlists, album art... etc. Any idea as to how to reasonably do this?

Thanks in advance.

Have u heed the battery in remote?

The answer is sort of "Not Applicable": Codes originate from IR blasters controlled by a URC MRF-350 (no batteries there), which is controlled by a charging cradle living (when not in use) URC MX-980 - and when the batteries in that guy die (like it was left of the cradle for a long while) it is dead - no halfway with there. I can, incidentally, also see the IR blasters flashing.

So pretty sure something screwy with the 80.2 vs the remote

My 80.2 has been working flawlessly and I'm enjoying it a lot. One recent issue is that I recently moved all my music to a Buffalo NAS and the 80.2 can see it and see the folders but does not see anything in any of the folders ???

Any suggestions for me please? Thx.

I have done some tests with the Oppo 83 and 83SE comparing analog and digital and I'd basically agree with that advice. Especially if you use Audyssey, you are unlikely to hear much difference and it does not make much sense to do a DAC conversion in the player, then ADC and DAC in the pre/pro. But feel free to pose your question on the Oppo 93 or 95 thread.
