Music first or sound first? I haven’t read all the threads here but I suspect more people voted for music, even if they aren’t being truthful | |
So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it Never heard of it | |
So sad about Netflix sound quality. No one can hear it I streamed a movie from Netflix and then the next day I was in my local library and saw that they had the Blu Ray.

Magnetar The surround channels are less important, mainly for ambience and movie effects like helicopters flying, so one could justify using a lesser chip in those channels, but it seems chintzy to do so, especially considering that this is not a budget pl... | |
Magnetar @arnold_h thanks for the input. Your point about the different chips for the surround domain intrigues me. Do they use a separate chip for each channel? Or one chip for two vs another for multichannel? | |
Am I right for this forum? I just saw this thread. OP, you definitely seem to know a lot about music, and probably a lot about how acoustic music sounds. I suspect defer to your judgement on acoustic instruments reproduction more than I would for the majority of posters h... |
