    I've owned speakers by.....

    Not in chronological order. Logitech Micca Blue Sky eXoII Geithain RL 906 Quad ESL 57 JBL LSR 305P Edifier R1280T I use a stereo set of RL 906 to work on (tv and media music). The ESL 57 (also stereo) for listening pleasure. And I am currently adding 7.1.4 Atmos to my studio with three LSR 305...

    Can VST plugins like Penteo 16 or Halo Upmix + jRiver replace AVR-hardware?

    @VoidX have you made progress on the additional features for Cavern? Can it upmix in real-time now? And have you managed to add time-domain corrections for Quick EQ? My hardware for an Atmos setup on PC should soon arrive. Looking forward to test Cavern and QuickEQ.

    Audyssey XT32 vs Dirac Live

    Dirac Live is 30% off until Sunday with code BLACK2022. Thinking about buying it in addition to the Audyssey of my x3700h. Would it be a step up over Audyssey without the Multeq-X?

    How to experience 7.2.4 on Windows?

    @VoidX can you say something about the upmixing process in Cavern as compared to the upmixers in av receivers? Will it be comparable qualitywise, or can avrs upmixers do things that Cavern can't? I could get a good deal on a Denon x3700h, and I am contemplating whether I really need it or...

    Audio Interface for Dolby Atmos under 1000$

    Well, I'll use this setup mostly to produce music in Cubase. So I'll route a 7.1.4 configuration in my DAW (Cubase) through the soundcard and ADA8200 to the speakers. As for Atmos playback, there is this on Windows: http://cavern.sbence.hu/cavern/ Cavern makes it possible, apparently, to play...

    Four channel audio interface with ADAT under 300$

    Hi everyone, for a 7.1.4 Atmos setup I need an Audio Interface with at least 4 line outs, and an Adat out. The budget is 300£ maximum. I'll connect a Behringer ADA8200 to it via ADAT to get the other 8 output channels needed. The options that are available to me at the moment are: Behringer...

    Edifier MR4 Review (Budget Monitor)

    building a 7.1.4 system. I have three LSR 305 for L C R channels. For the satellites, I need something a lot smaller than that. My choice is between the Edifier Mr4 and 1280. In my country, the MR4 cost 130$ for the pair. The 1280 are only 81$ per pair. Given that I need four pairs for my Atmos...

    Affordable Atmos 7.1.4 setup from Windows 11 pc

    Hi everyone, Currently I am playing with the idea of extending my monitoring setup. I have two specific usecases: I produce tv/media music with samples in Cubase. And I use the same system to watch movies and tv. I'd appreciate some help for choosing good hardware, and to check whether my idea...

    How to experience 7.2.4 on Windows?

    Great. It's the only task I would have needed an AVR for. Upmixing a stereo signal to Atmos 7.1.4. Currently I am upmixing to 5.1.2 with a Sony STR-DH790. Especially the Neural:X upmixer works well in my setup. Going to 7.1.4 now and hoping to get rid of the avr. Cavern looks great for that. But...

    How to experience 7.2.4 on Windows?

    Cavern looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your work @VoidX! A very basic question: with Cavern, is it possible to upmix stereo sound to Atmos in realtime, like an AVR does? My goal would be to connect a Focusrite 18i20 to my pc, and add a Behringer ADA8200 through ADAT. The line outs of these...

    Audio Interface for Dolby Atmos under 1000$

    Good to know. Thank you @Blumlein 88. It looks like an Atmos 7.1.4 setup is indeed possible on a smaller budget. I'll have to decide on an interface (18i20 plus a stereo spdif dac? 4 channel interface plus ADA8200?). It's a nice bonus that these boxes can also serve for recording further down...

    Audio Interface for Dolby Atmos under 1000$

    Thank you for all the help. I appreciate it! I think my best option is to keep my RME for my stereo setup. I have a set of Geithain RL 906 as my main speakers for working, and Quad ESL 57s. I switch between the two with a Palmer Monicon L monitor controller. I want to keep this stereo setup...

    Audio Interface for Dolby Atmos under 1000$

    This part I don't understand. Lets say I buy an Audient ID44. It has 20 inputs and 24 outputs. This will be my audio interface and is connected to my windows machine. To the Audient, I connect a Focusrite 18i20 in standalone mode. The Focusrite is not connected to my pc. If I understand the...

    Audio Interface for Dolby Atmos under 1000$

    Active monitors is right. I'm not sure about the Motu 24 AO. Is that really the only option with 12 outputs at that price point? I am reluctant about the 24 AO because eventually I will need inputs as well. And there are some not very encouraging posts/measurements here about noise issues with...

    Audio Interface for Dolby Atmos under 1000$

    Hi everyone, Checking to expand my setup to a Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 configuration, and I need an interface for this. An avr will not do the job, since I will be use the setup to create music with Cubase 12. Is there an audio interface that measures well, costs less than 1000$, and has 12 outputs to...

    Dirac not available any more?

    Here is an official statement by the company about the standalone version: https://m.facebook.com/DiracResearch/photos/a.611847825532517/2098832546834030/?type=3&__tn__=-R Seven months old alreday, though. And I didn't find any update after that.
