    Samsung Q80 65 vs LG OLED B9 65

    Not sure which TV you have and which One Connect Box.  But the One Connect Box on the Q80R has 4 HDMI ports and HDMI 3 is an ARC port.  I have a Denon AVR (AVRX4500H I think is the model),  and my HDMI cable goes from the HDMI ARC Video out port on the Denon to this HDMI 3 ARC on the One connect...

    Samsung Q80 65 vs LG OLED B9 65

    As a Q80R 65 owner, could not be happier.  Watch TV in bright room, and darker room.  The key is the brightness,  and to me an important factor that Samsung local support is top notch.  Not sure about LG support though in South africa. Had an issue with ARC channel (I use an AVR for Sound and...

    Audio via optical from Samsung Q80R TV to Integra AVR

    As I stated above the key is connecting via the HDMI ports with ARC  for apps on the TV to pass sound to your connected AVR via HDMI. "The AVR connection to the One Connect Box in my case is from the HDMI/ARC output port on the AVR to the ARC HDMI port on the One Connect. (its HDMI port 3 on...

    Audio via optical from Samsung Q80R TV to Integra AVR

    I have a Q80R and everything including DSTV is connected to the AVR (Denon) via HDMI and then I have an HDMI from the AVR to the TV via the Samsung One Connect Box that is included with the Q80R.  The AVR connection to the One Connect Box in my case is from the HDMI/ARC output port on the AVR to...

    Music: Owning Vs Renting/Streaming

    :) :) The streaming equivalent to that, sitting with Tidal on a Saturday afternoon with a list of best albums or recommended albums of the week, year, month, decade etc published by the music magazine, or music critic or online site(s) that ring your bell and working your way through them...

    Music: Owning Vs Renting/Streaming

    What we are saying is the benefit of the amount of music you can discover and enjoy each month streaming vs the monthly price of a subscription, and compared to the cost if you had to purchase all that music outright, streaming is a great value proposition, and if the cost is putting up with an...

    Music: Owning Vs Renting/Streaming

    So I am connected by VPN for work to Dubai no speed issues, I am connected by VPN to a client with a server in London no speed issues, and I tested my VPN link to a client in Paris, also no issues. Maybe some Service providers have alternative channels who knows.  Seacom may have issues but I am...

    I work from home have a 50/50 mbps fibre line, work 20 out of 24 hours on that line stream Tidal, stream Netflix, better half even streams DSTV Now and also works from home, her work colleagues and her doing hangout and Skype meetings as well many times, many days. All these at the same time. ...

    Music: Owning Vs Renting/Streaming

    With Roon and Audirvana (there may be others as well, I think Roon is the most seamless though) you can have the best of both worlds, streaming via Tidal (or Qobuz, or...) and your local library all combined as the same library at your fingertips

    Help with Streaming

    This as per Jason Willemse: "On my current configuration, I have never looked back. It involves a small little PC (NUC) as is yours, which is loaded with the Linux based R.O.C.K (Roon Optmized Core Kit) free software, and becomes the server for everything else. There is no screen, just the ROON...

    Re: What was the most memorable product you listened to during 2019?

    I will go with Tidal HiFi as well.  It's my second year with it, but for me this year it has come into it's own, and I dont give a crap about this MQA lossy or lossless argument either, just sounds great.

    You learn something every day!

    Loggins and Messina from the 70's.  Always thought Kenny Loggins was the driving force the guy who formed the duo, the main man, but it actually was Jim Messina. Jim Messina played for Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young and was part of Poco as well, never knew that until today.  Jim Messina met...

    The death of Blu Ray in South Africa?

    Instead of ranting a question if I may?  Re 4K vs 1080p BluRay. Assume the bulk of your media is 1080p BluRay, if you upgrade to a 4k (from a 1080p) TV would your picture be as good as that on your legacy 1080p screen when playing 1080p media, or improved by the upscaling to 4K (My Denon AVR...

    The death of Blu Ray in South Africa?

    You earned it, but my rant , now diminished still stands as its quite a lot of leg work to find what you want in the region you need.

    The death of Blu Ray in South Africa?

    But if you like concerts on Blu ray disk as I do and the OP seems to as well, many are not region free, many cannot be played under our RSA region, and absolutely none of those as far as I can see are released in 4K.  So to play them you have to perform certain "moves" that in certain peoples...

    Dali Lektor 8 vs Bower 684

    I was just pointing out to the OP that he is in my humble opinion comparing the Dali to what I believe is the weaker of the options in the 6 series range having auditioned three of them in both HT and Stereo environments.  But I did state he takes all he reads on board and trusts his ears.  And...
