Thank you for sharing your experience with this tool. Magic Beans creates the curve on its own. I am looking for a way to create my own curve to my own liking. I do not believe Magic Beans will allow me to create my own smooth curves. I happy to hear that you like this software. It is not for...

@Mr.Satyre No problem. Thank you for responding. I don't think I can fix this cables being parallel issue as my cables are already in the walls and they maybe running parallel. I noticed that with AVR switches itself between various modes this hum noise level changes. The easiest way for me to...

Thank you for your help. Your approach is based on using EQ in the end to make shapes. I am unfortunately not able to come up with smooth shapes. It takes a lot of trial and error and running multiple export, import and smoothing tries to get something decent. Have you checked the tool I...

@John Mulcahy Can I request that REW adds a new feature to create smooth house curves? After lot of searching on the internet I found Reddit post which takes you to https://databender1729.github.io/eq-target-curves/ tool that helps to create basic House Curve or Target Curve. In this same...

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...
