    Crackling/harshness in treble on new AVR

    Happens on all sources and all inputs. Tried multiple different HDMI inputs, AUX input, Optical from a smart TV and Bluetooth. I also thought it was the tweeter initially but yeah, it's happening on all speakers. I've taken the surrounds with me, I'll test tonight on my system to see if it...

    Crackling/harshness in treble on new AVR

    A friend of mine recently bought a surround system. It's a Pioneer VSX 532 with a Mission MX 3, surround package. I was helping him figure out why things sounded bad and there seems to be really bad crackling/tearing sounds at certain treble frequency's it's not noticible at extremely soft...

    Multi Room Sound

    Roon with Rasberri Pi endpoints running roon bridge is also an option: https://roonlabs.com/howroonworks.html

    My ideal stereo setup

    Fair point, but I can't think of a simpler setup for the same money that would give comparable results. I already listen via Roon and tidal so that's not too complicated. I also already use Dirac Live and having heard the difference it makes I don't really consider it optional. Given that I want...

    Those certainly are huge ass floor standers

    What floor standers do you have Scott?

    My ideal stereo setup

    Hey guys, At the moment I have a single setup that I use for HT and Stereo purposes. I was day dreaming the other day about my ideal stereo setup. This is purely hypothetical as I don't have the space where I currently live. These where the constraints I was working with: 1. Keep things simple...

    Dirac Live with atmos

    The 3300 has pre-outs it can only do 5.2.2 though. Don't really have space for 5.2.4 setup in my living room though. I'm out of the country for the next 3 weeks but might take you up on the offer when I'm back. Would love to hear a full 7.1.4 setup.

    Dirac Live with atmos

    Yeah that's the same conclusion I arrived at. At least until you can decode atmos in software. Think I'll end up getting the Denon AVR x3300w as it has Audisey XT32 with support for dual subs. I currently have an SVS NSD 12 and a Kef Sub so the dual sub EQ is very handy

    Building a stereo high end system around a subwoofer

    I use 2 subs + Kef Q5's for stereo listening. Manually set levels phase and timing using REW and then run Dirac Live using the subs+mains combined as 1 speaker. I'm very happy with the results.

    Dirac Live with atmos

    Hey guys, I was wondering if it would be possible to run a 5.1.2 atmos setup through JRiver and Dirac Live? I suspect not because Dirac needs PCM and as far as I know JRiver can't do the Atmos Processing. Reason I'm asking is that I already have Dirac Live and I'm upgrading to an atmos AVR...

    Roon

    I love Roon. Was using Audirvana before but makes a massive difference to have a decent app to control your music. Also great if you have multiple zones to play music to. Audirvana also doesn't play nicely with Dirac Live. Roon works perfectly

    Help with subwoofer repairs

    It's probably a capacitor that dried up. I had the same issue with Amy Kef sub, found a guide online and just replaced the offending capacitor myself. Works 100% now. Might be worth looking online if that is a common problem with your sub

    Tidal HiFi issue...

    I use Tidal Hifi/Master with Roon on a Mac and it's pretty good. Have issues from time to time but usually also have issues with web browsing at the same time. Problem is worse with MQA content but not much.

    Deals on Denon 2016 receivers now that the 2017 models have been announced?

    HDMI 2.1 Isn't super important to me. Will be a while before there is any 8K content or 120FPS 4K so I'm happy with HDMI 2.0. I'll chat to Judy, thanks guys!

    Deals on Denon 2016 receivers now that the 2017 models have been announced?

    Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading to an Atmos setup. Does anybody know of anywhere I would be able to get a deal on a AVR-X3300W when the AVR-X3400W's become available? Are there other receivers I should be considering? I'm look for: 1. At least 100W/ch 2. HDMI 2 and 4K HDR passthrough 3...
