Any idea how much CPU does Dirac ART on PC need? AM4 is down to pretty cheap. 5700X3D (8 cores, 16 threads, 100MB cache) is down to $193.

excellent as pizza oven

Thanks.

Is a single license for Mac AND PC, or either Mac or PC, assuming that I am only using one and not both at the time? I like to know if changing platform is a problem or requiring to pay again.

I did a bit of searches and perhaps have found a solution that works. A bit convoluted. PC audio pass-though using a HDMI port to EZCOO HDMI splitter/down scaller to 2 outputs [1] Denon (or other brand) AVR for atmos [2] Black Magic Micro converter HDMI to SDI to Black Magic SDI to Audio...

bump Just wondering if you guys solve this problem and has a working solution. Is it possible to use a PC to decode 7.1 base layer, while sending HDMI audio to an AVR to just decode height/top channels?

Good list. I just like to add that Topping and perhaps other 8-channels DACs do not have word clock in, and sync problems may exist if one uses 2 or more units at the same time.

Have you experienced any sync issue, as those Raspis running as i2s slaves are not sharing a master clock?

I am excited to see this too. Looking forward to see your progress.

mean wells has power supplies that can go above thousands of watts. Perhaps this RSP-1000-48 https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/RSP-1000/RSP-1000-SPEC.PDF However, 2 x 400-500w power supplies actually may be cheaper.

not entirely accurate. A PC software can decode full 9.x.6 atmos track, and play it over 16 speakers. https://professional.dolby.com/product/dolby-atmos-content-creation/dolby-atmos-renderer/ It works great for music. Does not work on moives though.

There is a thread here on ASR talking about convolver. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/a-comparison-of-convolution-engines.43290/post-1595453

Maybe use Audiolense and a convolver for active crossovers? REW or Direc Live (ART in 2024) for room correction?

I think an Arvus with AES3 instead of AES67 may interest many buyers.

I have always been a big fan of RME because of its bomb-proof reliability. But, I think I will do Merging/aes67 if I am going to build an system around an Arvus.

Those specs are even, at least on paper, better than the new RME 32 channel DAC with Dante https://www.rme-usa.com/m-32-pro-2-d.html

HDFury 8K VRROOM has HDMI 2.1. https://hdfury.com/product/8k-vrroom-40gbps/

Get a HDFury device for $500. Done

probably 5.0 is the minimum. 7.0 and 9.0 are better, I presume.
