https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/forum/140-nuprime-sponsored/ Haven’t had a chance to read much of this and I don’t know much about AoIP. That said, this looks very intriguing

Yes. Agree. AoIP is very much all or nothing. The H16-A seems much more reasonably priced than the Arvus and it’s from a much more established company. Hopefully we will see more like it that allow open architecture regarding the methods for DSP and equipment, DAC etc

I used a dedicate PC to run a convolution filter using a miniDSP toslink to usb streamer as an input and output to an RME DAC. Worked flawlessly, and sounded fantastic. Problem was it was limited to 2 channel low res inputs and for movies many stereo tracks are missing the LFE. A PC can run a...

I may be wrong, but prior to the H16-A and the Arvus it was very difficult to get HD multichannel decoded audio out from HDMI to a PC for DSP processing and then to a state of the art DAC. VanityPro makes an HDMI extractor that has USB out, but it doesn't do any decoding. The main use of...

This would depend on what you have now, and how far you want to take this. If you have speakers that do AoIP and a TV switching all inputs and with eARC, then you may not need much else. In my case I would want to have a computer running a convolver and Mitch Barnett measuring the room and...

I’m not expecting this device will delay the video. In my case I first tried using a simple two channel set of for video, using the toslink out from my Samsung TV. That fed a minidsp box that was connected via USB on a PC, and the PC had a convolution filter. The Samsung TVs do have an...

I know what you know … read the information provided by the company and check in on what Chris reports once he receives the product

The room is very important. There are some less extreme solutions than those proposed that can help, along with a proper convolution filter. All of these will have orders of magnitude bigger impact than variations between well designed electronics.

The product hasn’t been released yet. Chris at https://audiophilestyle.com/ should be doing a write up on how it can be used in a multichannel setup.

Agree, but devices like the Nuprime H16-A could change this as it allows for full HD multichannel. Coupled with a computer running convolution and a proper multichannel DAC, performance could easily match or exceed even the best processors.

John, I’m honored to have you read and reply to my posts. I’m a huge fan of your AHB2s and currently have 4. It’s the best amplifier I’ve owned and it cost 15x less than the Constellation Monos it replaced. It would be great if you offered a multichannel DAC. Multichannel seems to me the...

The big news is HDMI source that includes Dolby Atmos decoding. Other than Arvus, that’s multiples more expensive and so far mostly vapor wear, I don’t know of any other.

https://nuprime-x.com/product/h16/ The Nuprime H16-A has the potential to be a real game changer. Couple this to a computer running a state of the art convulsion filter and a multichannel DAC and you could exceed the performance of most any of the $15,000 plus processors for a fraction of the...

The top pre pros are still not quite as resolving as even modest DACs, although some here may argue that we cannot hear the difference. What we surely can hear is the difference of a sophisticated 50k+ tap convolution filter that can run on a PC, Mac or NUC versus the DSP in most if not all pre...

I cannot say enough good things about how amazing Mitch's convolution filters sound running two channel on Roon with 60,000+ taps. For two channel music this has been a game changer for my system. Most recently I've used three DACs, a Berkeley Reference 2, and Meitner MA3 and an RME. They are...

I don't have much experience dealing with audio processing latency. The latency in the HL convolver will vary depending on the type of filter used, but one can be designed that has relatively low latency. In the past Mitch sent me two sets of filters for the convolver, one low latency for video...

Not to take away anything from John's brilliance and how far ahead of his time he was, but that look is a tough sell for those of us that are married! I ended up replacing the VIs with TAD M1s. They were fantastic speakers, but the cabinets in most of the M1s failed and they were recalled by...

I'm also looking at this. The Blustream seems the most mature product yet that can decode Dolby and Atmos. 8 channels is all I need. I'm thinking of the Blustream connected to a MacMini via Dante, run Mitch Barnett's HL convolver on the Mac, and output via USB to an Okto Pro 8. For two...

With active multi amping and DSP, you can dial in the step and impulse response and time align the drivers without such a complicated enclosure as John used. You can also use steeper slopes to minimize the overloading of the drivers. Of course there isn’t much DSP will do to manage dispersion...

Kal, do you think an SW42DA connected to a MacMini running a Mitch Barnett convolution connected to an Okto Pro 8 channel DAC, with volume control done by the Okto work? Source would be a TV via eARC movies and an Nvidea Shield via HMDI for immersive music. For two channel music the SW42DA...
