I like Darko's videos. That video inspired me to try something similar for my HTC 10 phone and Amazon HD app. I already have a decent DAC with my Onkyo AVR so I just wanted to go straight from my phone into my AVR using a "USB-C to HDMI" adapter. I assumed this would send a bit perfect signal...

Here is a test done (back in 2015) showing how bad Windows resampling is (this is Archimago's test): https://archimago.blogspot.com/2015/11/measurements-windows-10-audio-stack.html?showComment=1572039320949#c8108771379950127840 But recently the same test was performed by another person and his...

Correct. Whatever bitrate/samplerate my Windows Audio Control Panel is set for, the Amazon App will show the same bitrate/samplerate for Device Capability (that makes sense). But whatever samplerate my Windows Audio Control Panel is set for, my Onkyo AVR shows me that it is receiving that same...

I know the processing route with my Windows computer system. (Windows 10 computer to Onkyo AVR with an HDMI cable) The Amazon App shows: ... TRACK QUALITY 24/96. ... DEVICE CAPABILITY 24/196 (or whatever I have the Windows audio settings set for). ... CURRENTLY PLAYING AT 24/96. And my Onkyo AVR...

I've been using Amazon Music HD since Sep 19. I'm not sure yet if I'll stick with it or go back to using Deezer HD. Here are my disappointments with Amazon Music HD so far: 1) Huge data hog compared to all other streaming services (so far Amazon Music is using more than 6 times more data than...

A note on streaming service quality... A YouTuber, White Sea Studio, did a video comparing music streaming services YouTube, Apple, Spotify, and Tidal. For the comparison he plays the streaming music service track and the original track along side each other but one is inverted. Two tracks that...

Yes, I was hoping for a wall mountable form factor similar to the JBL L820 or the JBL Studio 210. Thanks for your input, especially noting surround music. Because my previous surround speakers didn't have great high output capabilities (limited frequency response and dynamic range) I never...

I never win anything, but here I am.

Thanks for your input (your first speaker shootout is how I ended up with Chane, thank you for that also). For the Atmos ceiling speakers it'll probably end up being whichever speaker box looks less intrusive.

Yes, I cross over at 80hz. I don't want the split gap woofer for lower freq output, I want the split gap woofer for higher SPL output with less distortion.

My wife let me hang four A1rx-cs on the walls for surround sound. It's so much better than the in-ceiling speakers that I have been using for years. Because the sound quality is so much better, I have been trying out surround sound music. Great!

And to Talley's last point about sending all bass to the front two main speakers... that is much better than having five full range speakers each with discrete bass. Although the best placement for the front main speakers is not usually the best placement for the sub drivers. That is why most...

MJP, Yes, I agree with your point. I was letting Talley know that a speaker having great bass output is a separate issue from bass management between multiple drivers.

Bass management is a separate issue from speaker specs/capabilities.

I think we got a bit off topic discussing what is phase, polarity, how it is corrected, and what causes it. The original point is that no matter what (distance, nulls, peaks, electrical signal), having multiple bass drivers leads to more out-of-phase frequencies. Just because you have 80hz...
