| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? @fuzztone you are correct, the majority of movies and shows streaming today are mixed in 5.1. The majority of immersive/surround MUSIC streaming however is on apple music and tidal and mixed in atmos. | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? My experience is it depends on the track, and yes, there can be too much of a good thing. | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? @ghdprentice , you find you groove, you know it could be "better" but there is always a risk it could be less enjoyable too. I found that once I got my room just right and upgraded my room correction software, my system was "good enough". Thanks t... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? @cd318, 5.1 surround sound has an advantage of adding the center channel. Stereo was originally 3 channel and as you know two channel depends on a phantom center. Having a center channel in place makes the system a bit less dependent on a phantom ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? If anyone has a contact with a manufacturer feel free to share this thread, maybe they can post? | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @lalitk +1 on gathering info from dealers. Maybe someone here will start a a new site, "Audio Measurement Review" so we can make it more convenient. Too much banning at ASR to make that site very useful for your other suggestion. | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @fleschler , generally a dealer will be more than happy to provide and compare measurements if you ask and help you make a decision in the context of what you are trying to achieve, the size of your budget, your room, etc, both online dealers and ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? You know the one "measurement" that consumers check frequently is online reviews. If a product is poorly engineered it gets one and two star reviews because it doesn’t perform, that is a metric that vendors pay attention to as well. The cable nazi... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Could it be because nobody uses a component in isolation but in a "system" with a group of components making the measurements of the system, taken in context of the room they are used more important? | |
| Blu-Spec vs. SACD, ? They are both very good but a good blue ray player is less money than a good SACD player and it can also play movies. I have a Sony Universal player that can play both. I think the preference between the two depends on the mix rather than the form... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? Interesting responses, and I agree, they are both capable of providing an engaging and immersive experience. Fortunately it isn’t necessary to eliminate either one of them. But they ARE different, stereo is channel based and atmos is object based.... | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? @w123ale , I like this "big picture" on dacs by Thomas, he talks about "good enough" vs chasing incremental improvements. Check out the "high end" of the old days vs. "affordable" today:.: | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? @chayro , I have an elaborate 9.2.7 immersive home theater AND a simplified two channel desktop system. The two channel system is simply a pair of Paradigm Shift A2 active speakers and a Paradigm PW Link streamer/preamp with ARC room correction. F... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? An announcement from Universal Music: “This is a completely new way to create and experience music, freeing artists to be more expressive and experimental with their recordings,” said Todd Pendleton, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice Presid... | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? @chayro , it seems the digital technology is evolving into more than two channels instead of simply "better" two channels. If you have space for more speakers you might really enjoy immersive audio. “This is a completely new way to create and exp... |
