“It is 2021, and the Acoustic Solutions DS 633 sounds great”

written by BridgerOgden12 on 26/05/2021

Acoustic Solutions DS 633 - a classic subwoofer/amp delivering incredible 5.1. home theatre sound.

Got this back in 2003, and kept it in the living room connected mainly to the CD player and using the optical input with a Chromecast audio device, which enables uncompressed music playback in high resolution (pretty rare and costs a packet these days to find a Chromecast audio dongle, get one if you can, brilliant audio).

I never used satellite speakers that came with them, but instead, use tallboy speakers in a 5.1 configuration. These speakers have excellent headroom, no hissing, no buzzing, just clean sound. The subwoofer-amp has no hiss either (ensure that power supply is not shared with other devices on the wall outlet).

The onboard decoders in the DS 633 are simply excellent, even compared to modern AV Receivers, they really are sensational in use, surpassing high brand products costing thousands of pounds.

The decoders really sparkle and decode Dolby Digital AC3, DTS surround sound and Dolby Pro Logic sound (and stereo) with superb results.

Watching a movie in 5.1 is simply fantastic, the depth, the clarity, and precision of the sound being able to pinpoint its movement, the exacting detail and vibrancy produced have got to be heard to be believed.

Playing games in 5.1 through via the optical cable really delivers an immersive experience, playing Gears of War was simply amazing.

Listening to high-resolution music that is uncompressed is detailed and sharp, with nuances of the orchestral movement showing contrasts and depth and clear separation of instruments.

If you find one of these on eBay or in flea markets, grab this incredible sounding system, you will not be disappointed. This item is priceless. Seek one out if you can and experience the pure sound like never before.
