Arcam avr350 via
LOG IN. I own an Arcam AVR As many know, this AVR, among a few others, eschews the HDMI connection for audio providing switching for video only , citing it as a path largely inferior to other alternatives for truly quality audio reporoduction. Even with the introduction of HDMI 1. My question is whether most folks think that audio quality considerations in a home theater environment are important enough such that the HDMI 1. Edit Delete.

Arcam AVR350, Diva AVR-350 User Manual
Stu Pitt. Frank Abela. Nick K. About to get Avr, and in the future planning to buy totem Dreamcatcher 5. What would be the best match: avr with Arro as it is now and I am very happy with this setup and avr to the basement for DC 5. Or Arro with avr and avr for DC 5. Use it wherever it fits best. The only thing is that apparently sounds better this is what I was told by both Arcam and Totem rep.
But has more power and Arro's are power hungry. Yes of cause I will try both combinations but was just wonder if anyone more experienced could give me educated advice. Yes, there are detail things which can appear nicer on the AVR, but the is way better in my view due to a better balance.
Furthermore, Arros are not an easy drive and the AVR easily reaches maximum with them, whereas there's a bit more in reserve with the AVR Therefore, musically the Arros are better with the AVR The DC5. Question for you - is the Arro system purely for 2-channel music? If so, the AVR is not really the machine for the job. You should be looking at dedicated 2-channel stuff. The AVR may be a good deal, but only if it's appropriate. Regards, Frank. I know, I know what you going to say but I would rather sacrifice bit of the quality and gain superb convenience.
I have over cd burned in not compressed wave format and some in flac and instant access to them via squeezebox s remote. Plus all the internet radio is accessible the same way as well. I tested this and the difference was noticeable. Also with or I have Arros by-amped which made big difference. So my question is which set up will be better? Will it improve significantly if I put with Arros?
Will be sufficient to drive DC5. Thanks Pablo. Both will sound far better with the Arros than the receiver IMO. Another thought may be to get an Arcam integrated and external DAC.
Again, I have no idea on prices. Frank - I believe he's using the AVR as a 2 channel set up. I think he's bi-amping the Arros with channels He's usiong the receiver because of its DAC. And it is already done deal I gave down payment. I do not think that for this price I could buy anything better. This is private sale from my dealer 2 weeks old unit.
I just need couple more weeks to came up with rest money and I will have it home. Stu - yes 2 channel set up bi-amping Arros with 6th and 7th channel. And like I said it is because of squeezebox. Arcams dac's are much better. Plus which is not that important I have in avr's a tuner. I think separates of this quality would cost me much more and already I am stretched like a hell!! Not sure when I would be able to get Dreamcatcher 5. Probably another 6 months or more.
This was a deal I could not pass in my opinion this is why desperately I took it. Insane deal Pablo. Could of had a used B60 for around that price. Especially for that price. I'm sorry if I'm starting to sound like a broken record pushing the B After living with mine for the last few months, I can't recommend them highly enough. There are instances in which there are better options, like Pablo's current situation.
I'm saving up money and plan on buying a pair of Arros this summer. They're a great speaker worth far more than they cost. In regards to your question, I have the same answer I had from the begining - When you get the home, try it with the Arros. If its better, stick with it. The should be able to drive the Dreamcatchers just fine.
We can speculate all we want. We can give you our opinions. But in the end, our speculation and opinions don't mean anything. I agree that the weakpoint of the Squeezebox is its DAC implementation. As Stu has pointed out there are integrated amps with built-in DACs but you are correct in saying that these would probably be more expensive. On the subject of the deal, I note that Arcam have dropped their prices recently. I believe it's because they have not implemented the High Res audio features you can find in most models of the same price.
That said, most of those other models don't do very well with music and in some cases not as well on surround sound, even with the High Res options! You seem committed to the purchase. My optinion on which way to combine the amps and speakers remains unchanged. The AVR has a better preamp section than the as well as the better power amps.
I would be surprised if the sounded better into the Arros. On the subject of the Squeezebox as source, it could be worse, and the idea of storing and using uncompressed files is a sound one.
There's nothing wrong with that. My problem has usually been with people trying to use low bitrate MP3 files. Jitter can be a real music-breaker because it directly affects timing and rhythm, but then nothing's perfect, so if you find the result with the AVR to your satisfaction now, then the result will be just as satisfying or better later, whether you use the or the with the Arros.
In the end, the easiest thing to do is compare the two amps side by side - after all you will have both. And yes - everything is wave and some flac. Posted on Wednesday, February 13, - GMT Just to add more confusion From Totem rep: "we recommend keeping the avr to power the Arro in bi-amp mode the delivers more than enough power for the Arro it really can't accept much more the avr should be used to power the 5.
Hope this helps. It takes few minutes to switch all the cables and play the same music on difrent AVR so it is really hard to tell if Arro's are much better with vs It is not like pressing speakers A or B buttons when testing difrent speakers like I did some time ago with totem Staff and Arro's smoked them Also - this is my settings: Speakers large, no sub, everything at 0 stereo pcx FX - Music is this optimum with squeezebox as the source?
Normally this would be easy. I'd just tell you to switch on the Direct button on both receivers and listen to some music played through the Arros, first with one, then the other.
However, the Squeezebox is heaps better when used as a transport and allowing the Arcam to decode the digital stream, which means you can't use the Direct button which switches off all DSP. This cleans up the sound by giving you just the two channels or 4 if you biamp and as little processing as possible.
Setup both AV receivers the same. Play whole tracks through the AVR, then swap to the If it's not obvious in the first swap, it should be obvious in the second. I did not have a patience to do it. I've put with Arro's and for HT. When I get Dreamcatcher 5. For not I have crappy speakers in HT so Arro's will benefit from new Most likely I will leave it like this because I listen music more then watch movies so will get better use.

Equipment advice to solve problems playing the new 5.1 releases
Arcam's headline claims that their new AVR is the "Best ever sounding receiver from Arcam," thereby implying that it sounds even better than Arcam's own widely praised AVR So one can be forgiven for casting a jaundiced eye upon manufacturer claims of superiority, in an industry where "new" and "improved, better, best" are so overused and abused. Besides, the AVR already offers excellent, indeed world-leading, surround receiver sonics, so it doesn't seem likely that Arcam or anyone could improve significantly upon the AVR's sonics. Thus, our reviewing task was clear. We've just completed all our testing, comparisons, and analyses. Our scientific, coldly objective, ruthlessly analytical judgement of the AVR's sonics, and its margin of sonic superiority over the AVR and other brands of surround processors , can be summed up in two words. Holy guacamole!!!

arcam avr350 with ps3 no sound via hdmi ?
Although I have had much experience and much pleasure restoring the super-heavy classics of the 's and 's no need to elaborate here , I have been hankering for some time now to get my hands onto one of the heavyweight classics of today. There is no shortage of contenders whose manufacturers claim in bawdy hype that their offerings are the last word in audio quality, and so I never pay any attention to them anyway. I do however respect Arcam even though some of their offerings are disappointing, in the form which they come off the production line , and so I was intrigued when a client asked me to do something for his Arcam AVR which has received rave reviews , disappointed because he did not feel that he was hearing the sound he thought he'd paid for. The first thing I did was connect it to my reference speakers restored vintage Bang and Olufsen Beovox S45's. I was very disappointed also, as I am well aware of the full, detailed sound that they are capable of delivering, when powered by a capable amplifier.
