All I can share is that I have LG G4 83" connected to this same AVR using copper only cables (no hybrid fiber cables) and I am using Bitstream output. I do not have any of the issues you are facing so the problem is with the technology used in this cable. The cable company is going to point to...

All HDMI cables even from the last decade have 19 pins because that is how this connector was created. The older 19 pin HDMI cable meant for HDMI 1.3 did not use all 4 data cables. Even today, not all cables come with all 19 pins used. This is similar to the USB-C cable situation where you don't...

Thank you for sending this link. I do not see anywhere on this page any mention of eARC support. their regular HDMI cable without the 4 fiber optic wires does say it supports eARC; see Clearway HDMI Cable. Since this not 100% optical cable as it contains 7 copper cables and only 4 optical cables...

Most room correction software's are expensive unless you hit mass market levels. Cost of running development teams is high. On top of it supporting multiple hardware devices becomes extremely challenging and costly very quickly. This is where Dirac is struggling. Look at Microsoft Windows trying...

Do you have the exact link to the cable part number you are using? Have you contacted the manufacturer if this cable support eARC? A typical HDMI cable has lots of wires/connections inside it. When a cable does not use all the wires and connections, these types of issues happen. Long ago (before...

@Mr.Satyre Does your Integra have a slight hum in the subs during the quiet parts of the movie? Also this hum is a bit louder if Dirac calibration is started. Is this another one of the compromises the team has to make to ship out the product? There are few reports of this latest generation...

Thank you @Mr.Satyre for sharing this additional information. I held myself back waiting for Class-D forever mainly because of heat concerns but the reduced price was such an attractive bargain to let go for features it was delivering that I took a chance to see if heat is going to be a concern...

I upgraded from Pioneer Elite SC-37 to Pioneer VSX-LX805 (these are the US models since I am in USA). I can tell you that besides all the things that @Mr.Satyre has called out my real world experience of this upgrade. Few things that important I think to note in my setup are: My AVR goes into a...

Thank you for responding @Mr.Satyre and clarifying further. I am sorry to cause confusion. I was simply trying to emphasize the point you made because you said that PQFS is a unique feature only available in Pioneer and not available in other brands like Onkyo or Integra. I believe you have...

Thank you for responding @Mr.Satyre. You are a great source of information. Can you also guide me if there is anything one has to enable in order to take advantage of PQFS? There is a PQLS setting under HDMI which I turned ON and in the iOS apps, I always see that PQLS is OFF when checking...

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for sharing this additional information.

Thanks for sharing. You are happy means the way Dirac did your tuning turned out to be different and better is how I understood your message. I am a bit surprised to read about your results because I thought Dirac will always tune the same/ a very similar way. It seems it is a myth then. When I...

I am wondering how did the new AVR faired. Did it address your concerns and issues? Any update to share here?

@Mr.Satyre Are you talking about PQLS and PQFS is a typo? I was finally able to get a slightly used Pioneer LX805. I have enabled PQLS under HDMI sources but that is not showing PQLS is enabled when I play via ApplePlay which is played over the network. I am checking this information in the...
