Need to get a couple co-workers by the house at lunch one day soon to check out the Rush R30 DVD... [Smile] )
How does the DD 5.1 track of R30 sound through the 990? This is kind of silly, but the terrible fatiguing sound I get from my Rotel 1066 on this DVD is the reason I'm looking to replace it. For movies it sounds great, but for music it's not so great.

I thought it was a great surround music mix. I can see how Geddy Lee's voice could make a system that tended toward harshness get fatiguing, but I never felt fatigue on this disc. It looks like I'll be taking at least two folks by the house to listen to it one day next week, and I'll let you know their reactions as well.

Rush R30 is a very poor recording/mix from the audio side,from Emerson TO Krell,nothin can help that.Of course as to sound thats just my opinion.Rush has had recording issues for some years,even studio.There is a site somewhere but I forget where that tested several later Rush cd's and the actual recording were clipping very badly.I am a big Rush fan,2112 remaster is outstanding on the 990.

Rush hasn't had a decent studio recording in 20 years.

Ok, what is a DAC? How many do I need, where can I get them, do they come in colors? (lol!!!) Why do I need it/them?

Yes, I am serious about all of the above with the exception of the colors thingie...lol.

DAC: A Digital to Audio Converter. Converts a digital bitstream to an analog signal. Can be a separate "box" that connects between a CD Transport or CD Player and a pre-amplifier.

Bugbitten, I think you mean Digital to Analog Converter, as your correct definition suggests. (I've made the same mistake more than once when talking about equipment.)
