As I said above:

I've reported your post. That's not pro-audio stuff that will do what I need, that's pro-audio stuff which one could use to DIY a solution. As I already said, I'd prefer to buy a converter off the shelf if it's available, rather than DIYing something, with a computer or anything else.

I still don't really understand what you're asking. The desire for bitstream support is nothing to do with the desire for an ADC. If you look back at my post, you'll see I'm asking about two different things: (1) multi-channel analogue sources and (2) multi-channel digital sources, including...

I don't have a specific application in mind. I'm more concerned with having the ability to input multi-channel audio into an AVR whose only multi-channel inputs are HDMI, regardless of the source of the multi-channel audio.

Sure I suppose a whole AVR could be used as a multi-channel ADC with HDMI output but that's a bit excessive and not really what I'm after. I don't want an additional 20kg lump in my lounge, drinking electricity, just to act as an ADC. I'm looking for some specific (reasonably sized) gadget to...

LOL that's very presumptuous. If there's pro-audio stuff that will do what I need then please tell me what it is.

I don't need to convert bitstream to PCM. I don't really understand what you're asking.

Firstly, there's no way to determine whether a device whose internals one can't access uses a non-free binary blob. There may be adapters which don't even have an OS. Secondly, regardless, I'm happy to use an adapter whose internals can't be accessed.

I'd rather not use a Raspberry Pi because the bootloader requires a non-free binary blob. Also, for digital audio I'd like to have to ability to output bitstreams and not just PCM. The Rockchip RK3399 requires no binary blobs but it likewise only supports PCM over HDMI at present; the current...

Hi, Contemporary AVRs seem to have lost their multi-channel analogue inputs (e.g. Denons, Arcams, etc.) They still include S/PDIF inputs but S/PDIF is limited to 5.1 audio only due to bandwidth constraints. I'd like to be able to use 7.1 audio, or even higher channel counts, with modern AVRs...

I'm just curious about this. Why would you dispose of a receiver just because the manufacturer went belly up?

Hi all, I recently bought a Cyrus Pre aCA7.5 preamp on eBay. I have a DAC going into an integrated amp. In preparation for an impending switch from the integrated amp to a new power amp, I've taken to putting the integrated amp's volume to maximum and using the volume control on the DAC. I...

That's great, I was looking at sox just before you sent this, thanks :-)

Thanks.

I see, thanks.

Thanks. Seeing as you're doing J-Tests as well, can I ask what the source of the wave forms was for your test?

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask what you used as the source for these waves in your test?

What exactly does that graph show? Is each plot an FFT of a sample from an ADC fed by a DAC fed by the device under test? Also, what exactly do the graphs for your Jtest results show? Thanks.

Could you possibly explain how you do that? I tried searching the web for "how to do a Jtest" but found nothing useful.

Hello?
