this weekend I will be trying out a fully loaded Ayre D1 in my home on my own system and comparing it to the PMDT currently installed as to audio and video quality.
Ayre: 480p (RGB), 480i (s-video), analog 2 ch audio out, digital audio out as follows: 480p directly to pioneer 50" plasma, rgb in; 480i/s-video via Leeza/DVI and rgb to plasma; 2 ch analog to Lex MC-12, digital audio to Lex dacs (2ch), with and without sigtech room correction.
PMDT: 480i s/video, component and SDI via Leeza/dvi and rgb out; digital audio out to Lex dacs, with and without sigtech.
Objectives:
how will the Ayre 480p compare to the PMDT/Leeza/SDI interlaced and to Ayre 480i with Leeza de-interlacing?
how good are the Ayre internal audio DACs vs. Lex DACS and sigtech room correction
any advice and comments welcome.
