I guess what I’m trying to say is that, given how stereo audio is typically recorded, mixed, and mastered, “stereo bass” doesn’t really...

So the effect is negligible at 2.25m (which is probably closer to typical listening distances), and not 1.5m? I’m not sure, just...

A1 says... "At roughly 1.5 meters from the head, you get about a 1 dB (≈10%) interaural level difference purely from distance...

In the context of the limits of human hearing, the answer is no. This is precisely what the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem explains.

The UMIK-1 depends on the external USB host clock, whereas the UMIK-2 uses an internal clock. So I’m not sure what Miniyouuuu means by...

What exactly do you mean by “increased timing precision”? Are you referring to a higher sample rate? The smaller capsule of the UMIK-1...

In what way would you use it? Which specific HDMI 2.1 feature do you need?

I’m not telling people, just you: buy a device that actually meets your requirements. Complaining about it here isn’t going to change...

If you're one of those people, then you should probably look at a StormAudio or Trinnov. Complaining here that the Tide16 doesn’t...

Obviously not on the inside of audio processor development...

My gaming days are behind me. With all the AV processing in a home theater system, the added latency wouldn’t make it ideal for gaming...

Yes but the firmware is evolving rapidly, so it’s difficult to make any definitive statements at this stage.

It’s not an excuse, it’s actually a real advantage in terms of how reliably and error-free the system operates. In practice, all movie...

About 30s. The design is quite modular, but whether there will be a hardware upgrade depends on many other factors. The current...
