| What HT processor HDMI 2.1, and does that matter? Thank you as always. $100 is about as much as I would want to pay for a cable that is connecting a PS5 or a Fios box to my HT processor. I will be sure to get a 1.5 meter or 2 meter cable instead of a 1 meter. I might try that Neotech cable and ju... | |
| What HT processor HDMI 2.1, and does that matter? What HDMI cable would you recommend? Also, to maximize audio and video quality, do you recommend plugging sources into the HT processor and then running another HDMI cable to the tv, or running sources directly into the TV and using the ARC to the... | |
| What HT processor HDMI 2.1, and does that matter? That's interesting. You know much more about this than me. I'm curious, if the cables aren't actually different from 2.0 to 2.1, how come the picture keeps going out from the PS5 unless I'm using a 2.1 cable? I've read online that this happens fre... | |
| What HT processor HDMI 2.1, and does that matter? Thank you for the info. Seems like the ARC could be a reasonable option. The new Anthem AVM70 is out of my price range. Are there other HT processors out there that have HDMI 2.1 that I could get for under 2k or so (new or used)? | |
| how to set up good home theater sound (and picture) Interesting. So, the only way to get the HD audio formats is to buy a disc player? Is the PS5 a good enough player? I wonder if I should look at a different player than that. With Oppo gone, what do people buy now? | |
| how to set up good home theater sound (and picture) Thanks all for your suggestions! | |
| how to set up good home theater sound (and picture) I"m using a Theta Dreadnaught II for amplification. It's a combination 2-channel/HT system and I have a separate DAC and preamp for the 2-channel (with a HT bypass, all feeding into the Dreadnaught), with a Rel Storm-III sub. I did set up with Aud... | |
| how to set up good home theater sound (and picture) Also, does Audio Return Channel give a poor quality signal to the processor? I'm skeptical of running a high-fi audio system starting from a circuit within my television, but maybe that would be no worse than running a signal from the PS4 or Fios ... | |
| how to set up good home theater sound (and picture) Thanks all. I guess I was not clear on my question - what should I be using as the source? That is, what "box" should be connected to the Marantz to stream content and play discs? The PS4 and my FIOS cable box are not cutting it in terms of sound ... | |
| What sound formats do I need? Thank you. I'm thinking I don't need Atmos, because I don't have overhead speakers, right? Which sounds formats are relevant for the 5.1 setup I do have? Thanks. | |
| Which surround sound processor $1k used Interesting idea, I've never had a Yamaha product. How is the 5200 better than the 5100? On the Yamaha website, they list the 5200 for $2700 and the 5100 for $3k. They seem to have the same features. I'd be a little surprised to find either for 1k... | |
| Which surround sound processor $1k used Thanks for your response Auxinput. Seems like Marantz would be great for music but I'm wondering if "warm with rolled off highs" is right for movies. Should I go with a new model from something more mainstream like Yamaha or Denon? Anyone have any... | |
| Marantz vs. Emotiva I'v had it 2 and a half years at this point. Presumably not under warranty. At $500 brand new it was a steal, or so I thought. :) | |
| Marantz vs. Emotiva I have not asked for a replacement. Their service model does not seem great. It's mostly communication by email. I'm not too concerned with the "musicality" as I have separate components for music. I'm just wondering if the Marantz would be a step... | |
| marantz 8801 vs. nad T175HD Audyssey MultEQ XT-32(with Sub EQ) - I must admit I don't know what that is. What is that? I have a separate preamp with HT bypass for 2-channel, so I'm just looking for a processor to do HT. My room will need correction, but I don't know the te... |
