Audia Flight One: For DVD, SACD, Stereo Playback

Plan A: Multichannel playback




Multichannel meida consists of Video type (DVD,PS3, etc) and Audio type (SACD).
Video type: the decoded signal from the AV decorder is sent to the XLR Input of the MultiAmp(B&K 200.7). Celius 202 and Noxa Major make the Front Left, Center and the Front Right, while three Titus 202 make the Back Left, Back Center and Back Right.

SACD：the signal decoded by Sony XA9000ES is directly sent to the A/V 5.1 Input of the Audia Flight One to be controlled of the volume. Then, the signal is feeding to the RCA Input of the MultiAmp (B&K 200.7). It drives three Celius 202, which make the three main channel. *The two back channels(Elac 210A) are driven by Audia Flight One. There seems a contradictory here in this setup, for the two back channels, which provide some surround sound, are better than the three main channels(Triangle Celius 202). In fact, Elac 210A in this system are used to play Stereo. The play of the Sournd Sound of SACD is by no means Elac 210A's main job.



Plan B:Stereo playback
For Stereo playback(the picture reversed), the Signal sent from Denon DCD-SA1 is fed into XLR input of Audia Flight One. There is an alternative to drive the Elac 210A in a bi-amp mode. The Audia Flight One can feed another Poweramp(Audia Flight 50) through the Front Left and Front Right in the A/V 5.1 Output.

*SACD surround sound connection: The Front Right in Stereo playback is actually the Back Left in SACD playback, Front Left in Stereo mode the Back Right in SACD playback. This is why the connection seems confusing in the Figure.2 where Sony XA9000ES is connecting with Audia Flight One.
