Hope, not think ;)

FWIW, Eric has deleted his youtube video and locked comments on the other 'I am not sueing' one. There was an account arguing vorciferously on his behalf before he pulled the pin. I am not saying it was a sock puppet, but... Hopefully we, and more importantly Erin and Amir, can go back to a...

OK, this is descending into farce now. Lashing out in the mentions!

New pinned comment and reply just dropped. He's not suing though :rolleyes:

Well, that is good news! Thanks for the review, Amir.

@amirm The linearity truncation is weird. I know it is obvious, but any of that Dolby volume leveling nonsense switched on in the settings by default? Could that explain it? Thanks for the review!

Huh, this is interesting info. I had assumed given USB was set to 5.1, and DD decoding was set to 'true', that shield would process the 5.1. I explicitly disabled passthru on all the formats on the shield (DD, DTS etc) when testing with the receiver, and that worked, so I had thought the shield...

The Shield 2019 pro has USB audio output - 2.0 up to 192/24, 5.1 up to 48/16. It also decodes DD and DD+ to pcm (and AC3 and AAC I think?). The issue is that the Okto is making ungodly noises on 5.1 (even though it is correctly being seen as 48/16). Tested with HDMI to make sure it wasn't the DD...

Yeah, I have written to Pawel for new firmware to see if it corrects my issue with 5.1 from NVIDIA shield not playing correctly. No reply yet. A firmware tool and support forum would be useful.

@cbrents73 On the MRX line, I note it says all the amps are 'fully assignable'. Does this mean if we only use them for FX channels, can we decouple the LCR channels from the amplification circuit entirely and avoid clipping when sending to separate power amps? Similar to Denon pre-amp mode on...

Hmmmm was a long time ago (97), but I remember walking into a room on steel walk way, and my mate spoke to me back to back and I could not hear sound. I will Google RF chamber, not sure what that is. I also remember seeing a coffin-like anechoic box on rollers on YouTube, perhaps you could fab...

@March Audio Curtin University used to have a pretty good anechoic chamber from recollection in the engineering department, perhaps you could see if you can get time in it?

I will pay you $800 for your magic electronic cloth!

Interestingly Magnat heavily spruik the fact they use Klippel in their design process. I owned a pair of Magnat bookshelves a few years ago, they were nice.

Hi All, Has anyone had any luck setting up the AES Okto -> PC -> USB Okto route? I was experimenting with connecting a Nvidia shield into the DAC via USB/AES interface, then using the PC for DSP. The Shield is 16bit 48khz through it's usb. From the manual; Which I indeed encountered until I...
