We'd better be careful about the silliness. Not too long ago a little silliness resulted in 12 pages of pain (before the thread had to be forcibly closed, that is).

Shudder

That thread still makes my eye twitch... I'd actually forgotten how messy it got before the it was locked...

I may just keep my 1070!

I thought you said that tubes rule and people who don't use them are a solid state fool.

Sorry to bring this up, but the 1070, as are all of Outlaw's components, are very, very solid state.

Altec,

The tube system is for music, the HT system with the 1070 I use for surround. I am using the HT connected to my desktop using ASIO and I dig the sound.

The DAC will go in soon and then I go back to the Tube system with a quad set of 1969 Brown Plate Genelex Gold Monarch Kt88 tubes!


Tubes rule- Do not be a sold state fool!

Altec,

I am picking the Dac up in the afternoon to test. It is amost done , just a fews screws and then down the near road, some LED's and Diodes. I am hoping to have it fully up by next week.

More to come.

TUBES Rule! Solid state is a miserable state!

Some support for Digital Coaxial...

Over the weekend I went on a mission to eliminate the 'tick' that I was getting between Dolby Digital signal changes. It occurred at every change from program to commercial. It even happened between commercials. It has been most noticeable coming from any cable or Satellite receiver that I have had, connected to the 990 via Toslink.

I tried everything. Last thing I have done is changed from Toslink to Digital Coaxail, and I would say that it has removed greater than 50% of the occurrence. My DVD and Xbox will remain Toslink.

Coaxial is better, trust me. I am using the Stereovox XV2 between my DVD player and my new DAC and I so pleased! Music rules!!!!!!!

maybe try a different optical input on the 990 or it seems it's not the 990 at all but your Satellite receiver.

Plug another source into the same Toslink port you have your Satellite/Cable box hooked into and see if the problem occurs on that source. If it does, it is the 990, if it doesn't it is your satellite/cable box. I have noticed that HD programming is more finicky with my system than the non-HD versions. Sometimes I have problems with the HD program and I switch to the non-HD version on my satellite that problem goes away. I usually notice it when watching the NFL in HD. The issue only last a few seconds then I can switch back to HD.
