| No surround sound in a PS5, LG OLED CX and Anthem MRX 720 setup Another thought: have you tried another source besides the PS?Maybe you can borrow a cheap Sony Blu Ray or DVD from some friend, or pick one up from a charity shop, and see if you can get MC. And has the PS played in MC with other equipment? | |
| No surround sound in a PS5, LG OLED CX and Anthem MRX 720 setup Just out of curiosity, did you try “number of channels” as 7.1? I’m wondering if the Anthem is defaulting to stereo because it’s trying to find a sixth and seventh channel. Have you tried asking Anthem? | |
| Processor question I have 2 Anthem AVRs and I have not found the ARC to be buggy at all. I also use Dirac in my 2 channel system and that had a few more obstacles to implement, but has been stable sine implementation. As you can see I am a believer in Room Correct... | |
| Processor question I haven’t heard either processor, but I sympathize with the OP when the usual suspects jump in to tell him that HT systems are terrible for music, he needs a different room, speakers,etc... Regarding the original question, is it possible for the ... | |
| The myth of "best" in audio needs to be addressed by all of us I think it’s a natural tendency to eye the grass elsewhere and perceive that it’s greener. There are days when I think this can’t get any better, and then the next day playing the same recording having a niggling bit of dissatisfaction. I also t... | |
| I must be old “I want to love my vinyl”So what will you trust-analog propagandists, or you lying ears?The problem is your preconceptions. It’s hard to purge these from our critical faculties. I also fell for the critics that prefers vinyl, but after a few yea... | |
| Sadly, the Anthem AVM 90 preamp is delayed till late 2021. I only have the Anthem AVR, but what is wrong with their current processor? I think the 520 AVR is very good in 2 channel | |

| What do I need to spend coming from an all-vinyl setup? It would also help to know what the vinyl front end is that will be the comparator | |

| Bryston BDP Tidal-connect and Qobuz-connect I have the BDP 3. I use Qobuz and I put albums in my favorites and then use that tab in Manic Moose | |
| Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay It gets better yet with Blu Ray vs DVD. Your point is taken, though that the convenience of streaming and the relatively good quality will satisfy most people | |
| Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay btw, your whole question about CDs..you didn't address the bandwidth issue in my previous post. At least with your own CDs you control whether or not compression is being added, etc. And no, CDs aren't streaming. A CDP extracts 1s and 0s from a... | |
| Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay I try to get as many discs from our library as possible. That can mean a wait of a few weeks which doesn't work for impulse buying. And there are other disc rental options such as Redbox, and the used lp stores here have video sections as well. ... | |
| Pontus, Brooklyn+ or Benchmark 3? Pros and Cons I had a Mytek Manhattan and loved it, but Myth is currently undergoing a major reorganization as they have divorced from the company that does their actual manufacturing, which would give me pause for a year or two until some accumulated feedbacks... |
