Who needs manuals anyway? :laugh: And if you need a manual - everything can be found on PDF on every manufacturer site.

Hey guys, got another question here.
Um I'm planning on buying a hi fi, CD player to hook up to my Z-5500. And the CD players I've been looking at have 192Khz 24-bit audio output. Will the Z-5500 be able to handle something like that? I know they can output 96Khz 24-bit audio, so I don't know what happens if they receive something higher, can it downsample?

fill out your system specs first (its something of a rule around here) and then yeah give us a pic - if you check the first post of this thread there are a list of details we'd like you to give, about your speakers.
 
any where ever runned Rightmark Audio analyser?
 
Link?
 
I hear alot of people talk about upgrading the speaker wires to the Z-5500. Some people didn't even try the included ones. Other than cable length is there any reason for doing this?

none that i can think of. The included ones are quite decent quality.
 
People just see the wires that come with it and go "Oh, those look a lot worse than the $100 roll of monster cables at Circuit City...I better upgrade!"

the only wire i'd upgrade, is the coax one i use. cause its 5 years old and used to connect my VCR to my TV :D

sounds just fine tho... digital doesnt change much based on cable type.
 
I just got a new one with my Auzen. I think it's kinda proprietary. It comes with adapters (because the sound card has Coax and Optical in one) so I hope it's good quality lmao.
 
I got me dis new fangled Z5500 doo dad electro thingy ma bob. Now, I can crank ma country tunes and shows dem city folk whose boss.


:cool:

There is very little need to upgrade the wire, if your area doesnt have that much interference, no worries, my speaker wires run right next to my UPS and main power center, and it can cause feedback. So I upgraded all the wire to monster.

I would have done it anyways, I guess I just like Monster alot. Oh and for people that worry about price with Monster Cable, go to WALMART! Walmart had 50 foot rolls for 20 bucks last time I was there. It is 16Gauge shielded speaker wire. Thats pretty darn good stuff for 2.5 feet per dollar!

But if you do not experience any issues now, it will not sound any better, or get any louder with better speaker wire.

I have a question now, I have a problem with a static/scratchy noise.

This is from the Digital COAX from my 2nd Computer to my Logitech, when it happens it totally random, but if Im playing music for a few hours(sometimes minutes) the audio gets drowned out by static. I have found a way to fix it, if I disable the COAX out through the sound options, enable headphones, then re-enable COAX the static goes away and it works fine.

Oh and if this matters, I have a ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA motherboard - it deserves caps because it rocks that hard. Had it since the day it was released, and couldnt be happier!

The only reason I can think this is happening is if you are playing music really loudly and the mosfets in the amp are getting too hot.

you say that you disable and re-enable the co-ax... and it gets better... perhaps the time it takes to do this just cools it down ernough to play fine.

Ive had similar situations playing really loud music at parties with large amps and similar things happening... and the only solution is more cooling.
