Now if the Oppos could do that.......
I fiddled around with it for a few weeks, but it always seemed like those "laser" photos you used to see everywhere in the '90s. Spectacular, to be sure, but just not very real looking, IMNSHO.I got a 103D after Oppo left. Got a decent price and didn't worry about the Darbee. Always been kind of a purist and don't want to alter the original signal. I never noticed much when I tried the demo anyway...
But after reading the 103D thread at AVS, I got a better understanding of Darbee. I tried it w/ adjusted expectations and now I love it. It's very subtle- have mine set on 40; recommendations are 35-45- but it really does add some apparent detail and especially adds a greater sense of depth.
It works best on better quality sources. And it is subtle, but once I understood what to look for, it became a great addition. You may want to re-evaluate it...
I also have a sony x800.
I never thought to do this. I stream apps thru the sony. Would it work streaming an app on the sony sending it to the 205 and have the 205 decode the 5.1 from the streams and send it out to the speakers?
I was never successful getting the 205 to decode surround from my sony tv over air broadcasts or streamed apps.
