Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction?
I believe Atmos has the same capability, but do not know if it has been embedded into any commercially available Albums.  Atmos has been embedded in albums now, but they are all released on bluray media.  Take the Dark Side of the Moon 50th ann... 
Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction?
For Atmos enjoyment you need an Atmos decoder. When it comes to Apple Music, then there is a lot of confusion around it. For one, using iPad or iPhone and Apple EarPods, you can listen to Atmos through Apple Spatial renderer - this will attempt to... 
THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ
Does damping factor of the amp have any effect on the ringing of the driver and hence the Q of the total system?  
Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it!
Their measurements seem to be done at 11,0dBu level, which corresponds to 989mW on a 8-ohm speaker. Although the graphs are very dynamic-looking, they will fit into a leeway of 0.2dBu, which corresponds to about 40mW on the 8-ohm speaker. Will th...

Impedance Matching Confusion
On this amp, there is nothing mysterious happening - those posts are simply wired in parallel. Hence the warning not to wire 2 4-ohm speakers to both posts, as you’d end up with a 2-ohm load. The full schematics : https://www.vintageshifi.com/re... 
eBay secretly over charged sellers
There is still one good thing about eBay - their Global Shipping Program. I have yet to find a similar reasonably priced, convenient to both seller and buyer, service to get bulky items shipped from US to Europe. I have successfully purchased an A... 
MQA actually tested
Also this guy Archimago has posted test results on his blog quite some time ago, already.Obviously his test method was to feed the analog output of the MQA DAC into a digital analysis tool. But the observations are quite similar.http://archimago.b...
