I don’t think you’re going to be sorry. Hobie posted over at AVS they’re looking to be beta testing ART firmware before the end of the month.

Did you try indicated, too?

From the manual

Have you tried any alternate setting on your “inputs” screen? If you toggle on advanced settings you can adjust “PCM Detect Sensitivity” which might be able to reduce the chance of this? From my understanding, it handles how long sound is muted for when the signal is received on the channel...

You also need to enable the advanced settings at the top of the screen before you see the VU meter options

Make sure you’ve got the most recent firmware loaded (1.10), then go to the custom web interface (youripaddress/custom) and you’ll see the loudness options.

Correct - just the peaks

Yes - the vu meters are per channel (It’s in the custom ui, not the factory ui)

I own and love my HTP-1, but I’m not sure you’re going to experience much, if any, upgrade moving from the SDP-55 to the HTP-1. You can just keep the JBL and convert to analog in the same way you planned to with the HTP-1. I believe what you’ll get compared to the JBL: Loudness compensation...

What benefits come from PEQ prior to Dirac? Being able to add PEQ after Dirac has definite benefits (ability to use BEQ and to add EQ to bass transducers) but am curious to learn what might be possible with “pre-EQ”. As an FYI - boot loops are gone on the HTP-1 with the most recent firmware...

DLBC is only for subwoofers - so no you do not need any additional license for your setup.

Yes - Dirac ART has been announced by Monoprice in the HTP-1 thread at avsforum. No reliability issues (And has a 5 year warranty). It’s available right now. “Loudness” on the HTP-1 is superior to DEQ IMO. You can modify it to your tastes and listening level.

I think you were being asked what bugs you think still exist in the HTP-1. There are basically no known major bugs in the HTP-1 so if you’re waiting for others to debug it for you, we already have :)

I didn’t. I ended up with 226bes up front and M106s for surrounds. I absolutely love them.

Is there going to be any audible difference between an NC502 and a Purifi? Or, if you need more power, is the NC502 going to be a better choice since the power advantage is more likely to be audible than the SINAD difference?
