QUOTE(Moogle Stiltzkin @ May 14 2008, 09:31 AM) My Home Theater setup ( No Pics included .... YET. May have pics next week ) What is the point of listing all your stuff when there's no pic? The main purpose of the thread is PICS, we do not need the list of the item you own. HDTV: Sharp Aquos 42'' A63M 1080p LCD monitor with a 1920x1600 Native resolution. AV Receiver/Amplifier: Yamaha RX-V663 Networking Device: Aztech 200mbps HL109E Homeplug. This is a ethernet over power line to connect my media streamer to my pc upstairs without having to use a long ugly ethernet cable all the way to the stairs. Source Device 1: Popcorn Hour Media Extender ( It supports many formats such as MKV, H264, AVI, XVID, Mpeg2, Mpeg 4. I can pass through DTS to my receiver to decode to get DTS support  And FLAC seems to work after letting my receiver handle audio processes )Source Device 2: PS3 ( For Blue Ray games, or to watch Blue Ray movies. However i most likely will not be buying blueray movies as i can download for free online and stream over my popcorn. This is why i will not be using a DVD player for my home theater as all my media are digital format  )Source Device 3: Astro ( Just to watch CNN only  until they hop on the 720p bandwagon )Front Left/Right speakers = MA BR5 Center speakers: BR-LCR Surround speakers: UNDECIDED whether it will be BR-FX OR BR1 Sub woofer: Using my old Creative Gigaworks S750 instead of the BRW-10 because not enough money to buy it   I suggest come back when you have pics. |

QUOTE(Moogle Stiltzkin @ May 14 2008, 10:03 AM) I agree that using the PS3 to play an original Blue Ray movie disc to get MA DTS, HD DTS would be the very best solution. moogle,so tat u know, even if u found the exact rip of bluray with dolby trueHD or even dts hd ma, ur popcorn hour stil cantbitstream it, u will be stuck with legacy DD or DTS onlyIt is possible to download such things online however i think such things would be 10 gig + or something I am currently downloading 4 gig 720 p or 8 gig 1080p blueray rips I will check online and see if i can find any HD DTS or MA DTS videos to download.But for Music i think popcorn can stream via HDMI to the Receiver so the quality should be fine right ? The FLAC are lossless encoded with EAC  |

Uh oh.... I can see Moogle suddenly thinking "What have I got myself into?" Upgrading his speakers suddenly set off a whole chain reaction to upgrade his other weak links.
Then after he buys his BD player, then start incurring heavy expenditure adding to his BD collection....  This post has been edited by Audio Nirvana: May 14 2008, 10:41 AM |

QUOTE(jlim78 @ May 9 2008, 12:06 PM) A big empty frame will look awkward in the living room when the light goes on .. any ideas? anyone? 1. Fix a screen, install curtain trail at the ceiling few inches from the fixed screen. When not using the projector/screen, you can pull the curtain to hide and protect the screen from dust at the same time  there are many nice looking curtains out there that will add flavour to your living room or secondly, a motorized screen (last choice as rolling up the screen will cause - alun -  ) |

QUOTE(rx330 @ May 14 2008, 10:33 AM) moogle,so tat u know, even if u found the exact rip of bluray with dolby trueHD or even dts hd ma, ur popcorn hour stil cantbitstream it, u will be stuck with legacy DD or DTS only Aiyah can lah.Flac is playable from popcorn streaming no problem there. Flac is lossless so should be comparable to an actual disc As for HD DTS and MA DTS yes so far no pass through yet .... I am fine with DTS, AC3 or AAC. And hopefully soon OGM. I did my research before i bought. I could use PS3 to stream a media with HD MA, HD DTS as PS3 can decode them My system quite flexible if you are bothered to take the time to set it up.The reason why it's called budget system is because my media is free  cauz thats what i can afford. When BD prices drop to MORE REASONABLE PRICES then can buy loh Until then 720p 1080p bluray rips for the win  Anyway i got a suggestion, Mega you bring your bluray discs and we can watch together on my new pesant home theatre system win win !This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: May 14 2008, 01:14 PM |
