I stick to LPCM from my Oppo, prevents any potential DTS MA bombs that are said to affect receivers that have the Texas Instruments processor. Also allows you to use Audyssey in lossless (not that I have it on now) and get the 192 in 6 channels. Only downside is you don't see those pretty DTS HD MA or Dolby TruHD symbols on the receiver frown

ClubNeon whats your profession, engineer or physics major? I love technically backed answers, and I too vote for to be US Secretary of audio mastering!

Seconded. I remember how bad some of the early CDs sounded until the recording folks realized that low pass filtering before sampling was a requirement, not just an interesting concept wink

Professionally, I'm an "IT Specialist", whatever that means. I was a double major, Mathematics and Computer Science, until I dropped out of college. But most importantly, I've been taking things apart and figuring out how they work since I was 3 years old.

That pull-its-string-and-it-talks Garfield didn't stand a chance. It was soon in pieces, with it's little record removed, and being played on my Snoopy turntable. I also took one of my mother's music boxes, placed it under the needle of said turntable, and had an amplified version of "Close to You."

Interesting. I'm also an "IT Specialist" and I used to take things apart, like those old telephones that hung on the wall that you had to crank in order to get the telephone on the other end to ring. I'd take the generators out and let other kids hold the leads while I gave it a crank. Ah, the good ole days.

But, no (very little) college for me. I got into computers through a trade school back in the late 70's. I dropped out of high school then went into the military.

I'm an IT "Systems Engineer" (whatever that title really means). Like you guys, I was disassembling and reassembling things from an early age. My dad really regretted giving me that screwdriver kid when I was five, let me tell you. smile

I graduated college with a degree in Anthropology. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

IT Network Engineer here (see above re: whatever that means). Also disassembling things like crazy. Not so much assembling. I've got a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology, with a minor in Egyptology.

Okay with that backround, what's a good primer for MS networks "for Dummies". WHS(Server 2003), RDP, and the "stuff in the backround". My network works fine, I can do all needed to keep it running and set it up..... but I would like to know more to increase speeds, troubleshoot, etc.

I've got a lot going on in my casa IT wise, and I'd like to know when it's network versus machine, etc

I don't want to learn it all, or go into the profession, just manage my home

I'm the wrong person to ask. I'm not so good at optimizing things--and I'm terrible at sitting down with books and studying them.

If you're really into that, I would start by getting a good foundation in how TCP/IP works. A really good foundation in that, because that's the root of it all. If you understand that, you can figure out where to start looking for troubleshooting. Optimization is a whole 'nother bag of worms.
