    (AQ Forest) Lightning to USB cable not working for me

    As with all iOS devices, there is no direct connection from Lightning to USB that supports digital audio. You must use Apple’s Lightning-to-USB adapter, which authorizes the iOS device to pass USB Audio. When using Carplay, the connection between phone and car is done on a software level that...

I have not had a single issue with FTTH (Vumatel and Mweb) since the start of loadshedding. 3G/LTE/5G however via MTN is an absolute disaster. The minute load shedding hits, there is zero data passing through my...

    Any (lawnmower) engine experts?

    Be careful of tilting the lawnmower on its side. My lawnmower tech told me that is the most common fault cause of mowers brought to him - mostly those with Chinese motors.

    New Apple TV 4k

    I use Infuse 7 Player. Infuse 7 - An Elegant Video Player It does decode Atmos as long as the ripped file has a Dolby Digital Plus (aka E-AC3) soundtrack containing the Atmos data. It does not do TrueHD Atmos decoding (which is lossless and used by blurays) due to whatever reason Tim has...

    Projector + Apple TV 4K HDR / WCG ponderings

    My projector, Optoma UHD55, has dual HDMI inputs. HDMI 1, which a standard input, and HDMI 2, which offers WCG (wide colour gamut). When using HDMI 1, the source signal will dictate the projector display mode i.e. if it is fed an HDR signal (i.e. Dolby Vision from Netflix) it will auto adjust...

    A/V receiver or Speaker Upgrade

    As a previous owner, I will not recommend the NAD T778 to anyone. It is plagued with issues, you never know what a new firmware upgrade will break and the local NAD support ... (let me just bite my tongue). It sounds great though when it works for stereo. For HT, compared to my current Denon...
