I appreciate the assistance and direction I am receiving. However I have a few further questions.
1. Quad
I have bought a Sony SQD 2020 decoder. Will this assist in synthesizing quad from stereo or my old Pioneer QX 9900? Is it recommended that I feed my Pioneer Elite CD Player/Recoder to the Sony decoder 1st and then to my old Pioneer QX 9900 receiver and then to the 5.1 inputs on my Pioneer Elite receiver or skip the QX 9900 receiver?
With the above in mind, if you feel I still need something what do you recommed I get at this stage to assist in sythesizing quad from stereo ? I have no quad records as I only want to syntheize quad. Please recommend a quad pre amp i.e. Sansui QRX preamp or whatever if you feel I should get one.
2. DTS
(a) It was recommended that I get a Sony DVP - NS500V player with Built in DTS decoding.
My Pioneer Elite receiver is capable of playing back sources recorded in 96 kHz/24 bit. I am partial to Pioneer Elite at the moment for sound. I am saving my Canadian pennies to buy a Pioneer Elite DVD -Audio player in the future. I do not have any DVD player at the moment and from the get go since their introduction 2 years ago I was not going to buy just a DVD player. May I ask why the Sony was recommended ? Does it have features that I am not aware of?
(b) My justification sales pitch to my soul mate on my system was that I would record our own CD's and most CD's only have a couple of songs one likes. I record from FM particularly from live to air broadcasts from clubs ( most FM stations do it now with everything from 40's swing/big band , hip hop, club dance , 80's remixes, alternative remixes etc.)
I suspect DVD audio recorders will be very expensive for some time. I then assume the affordable way will be to make them on the computer.
Could someone convey/recommend what I should get for DTS recording?
i.e . Sound Card, Software. brand name quality CD and DVD burner to install etc.
Many thanks
Dennis
