Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: Maybe not

The Barco is not really off when it is "off". It is actually in "standby". (That is why you are able to turn it on again with the remote control.) To turn the Barco all the way off, you will need to plug it into a switched outlet strip.

If all you have is a DVD player, and no other video sources (VCR, satellite or cable box, etc.), then this procedure will work fine for playing music. But to have a better picture and sound when watching movies, then you will also need a DVD player that provides total isolation between the audio and video grounds. The only ones that I know of are made by Ayre (my company).

Unfortunately, our "universal" player does not have video capabilities. Our video-capable players are only compatible with DVD-V and CD, not SACD or DVD-A. So it becomes a matter of picking your poison. (Or else spending a bunch of money to get one of each, which is its own kind of poison.)

Keep the Barco for a while. It will be a while before there are any digital displays that will give you that good of a picture.
