BTW if PC is your source, just use USB. Flex HT and HTx do 8 channels over USB in. I use this for 5.1 FLAC from Roon.

Amazing, right? But note the limitations: only up to 8 channels so not the latest fancy Atmos stuff, and you need the PC or an AppleTV...

I wonder what it must be like to be as on the spectrum as you are. Devs literally confirming what I’ve been saying over and over in...

Lmao, go see a doc about your autism. I said three or four times in here that nobody cares about height channels and they wouldn’t be...

Maybe he's arguing regarding your fast/loose definition of the word "decode"??? Good golly. And none of this has anything to do with...

The fact remains that Atmos, just like DTS-X is a “container”, and KODI can decode that container into 7.1 lossless PCM without stepping...

Well, then everything I said still stands. My setup can either “pass” Atmos to my receiver or I can have it decode it in which case it...

Just looked on the KODI forums. It decodes Atmos and sends the lossless DD+ or TruHD stream out as 7.1PCM minus the Atmos “bits”, which...

Again, wrong. Pass thru passes Atmos, I can do that if I want, what I’m doing does not, it decodes the container and the AVR receives...

Have you even bothered to look into this or are you just spouting off? Maybe do a little research first. KODI absolutely does break...

The Flex HTx with Dolby/DTX decoding would be a killer product. That said, once you do that you add a bunch of other feature requests...

Yes it does decode Atmos/DTS-x, the object based channels just get “folded” into the 7.1 LPCM lossless stream. I literally use this...

Nah, this just isnt true. Yes, Dolby exercises strict control over their IP, but they also allow for BluRay players and TV’s and sound...

I think more people should consider using a PC + KODI. It does an exceptional job of decoding everything to LPCM, including 6ch AAC...

So, It is exactly the same.
