    Audiopraise VanityPro Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    That doesn't make sense with what I've just said. If you think the testing is bad, I'd encourage you to be specific or reach out to those conducting the test. Did you read the write-up that has details of the test? Please disregard anything I've said and make your own conclusions after...

    Audiopraise VanityPro Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    There's a write-up you can read for more details. The conclusion was that once volume was adjusted, testers couldn't tell the difference in audio between any of them.

    Audiopraise VanityPro Review (HDMI Audio Extractor)

    Blu-ray vs streaming is transparent audio wise as long as you volume match. A blind test was done and demonstrated this. https://www.thescreeningroomav.com/single-post/results-of-the-kaleidescape-vs-streaming-fall-mini-event

    Kali Audio IN-8v2 (Second Wave) 3-Way Studio Monitor Review

    Are you absolutely certain it is the version 2 and not the version one? I swear they are as quiet as my genelecs now... Version one was way too hissy, but now the version is great. I posted a YouTube video about the crazy hiss on the first version that I really didn't like, but they fixed that...

    Which are the best bluetooth IEMs?

    The Technics are interesting with the three point multi pairing thing, but they are so expensive. I'd need them to cancel noise at least as good as the Airpods.

    JBL SDP-55 Audio/Video Processor Review

    Before you buy a unit to use with Dante, you may wish to speak with Harman luxury support. Starting in April 2022, there has been an issue that is still not fixed to my knowledge, which causes some pops and crackles and issues with Dante. IMS0024523 That is Harman's internal tracking number...

    Which are the best bluetooth IEMs?

    If anyone had an iPhone I would specifically NOT recommend the airpods pro. If you have an Android phone though, you can correct the frequency response and enjoy some of the best noise cancellation, battery life, and form factor in one package. Use the app called Wavelet. If you own an...

    New Product: Arvus H2-4D Atmos Renderer, Simultaneous 16 channel AES/Balanced Analog/Dante Output

    Is one thing that transports bit perfect audio better than another thing that transports bit perfect audio? You'd have to be more specific. The Arvus supports Dante, Which is the most flexible and future-proof connectivity option in the history of the universe, so that might be something to...

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    Try the Gameboy switch apps with their mono midi sounds. Causes issues. On the shield it's watching Shogun or Invincible.... Or really anything. I'm using 8k cables. Hopefully there is something stable with Dirac ART soon as Storm Audio prices and up are past what I'm willing to put up with...

    Active Room Treatment (ART) by Dirac

    I had a JBL SDP 55 with the 58 upgrades and all services performed on it. Dante is the digital output system, and it's broken on the JBL units: there are pops from the unit when you have Avio adaptors plugged in to get digital output. Tested with multiple dongles, multiple network switches...

    Anthem AVM90 AV Processor Review

    Wow, we are getting higher and higher priced avrs that still have 75% of the issues of past ones. If only someone could get Dante and eARC and no muting issues so that there would be an actually future proof processor where you could add dongles for any sort of connector needed in the future...

    Kali Audio LP-UNF

    There was music in the background at the release party, but a solid closed door dampened a lot of it, and an echoey room to simulate less than ideal conditions. (No treatment.) Better than the UNF with coaxial drivers, not quite as even sounding as the larger LP models, though surprisingly good...

    Kali Audio SM-5 (C) monitor

    SPL and price wise. 117dB vs 110dB, and significantly cheaper. Sorry, didn't clarify that was following up from the prior paragraph on loudness. Curious to see measurements though to see which is more accurate.

    Kali Audio SM-5 (C) monitor

    I'd add that they seem to play louder than the 8331 so I'll be curious to see what the measurements show, as the active versions would likely have been my choice for my 5.1 system had they existed prior to me building it out with Genelec coaxial monitors. Vs an 8341, the Kali SM5 seems like it...

    Powered 2.1 consumer Desktop PC speakers with no audible idle hiss 2023

    The IN5 will save you half an inch of width on each monitor. Not much and it's 5" but at some point you're going to need a 2.1 system with a subwoofer and a way to integrate it with a MiniDSP or a studio sub that can handle the crossover and such. Prices go up quick for that kind of thing. Or...

    WiSa technology and its future developments.

    Some of those are pretty good. I'm thinking more along the lines of the crap they lost on Facebook. Platin and Klipsch a other low end options. Just give us $100 dongles for any active speaker or an amp input.

    WiSa technology and its future developments.

    Because actual high end speakers don't have WiSa built in from what I've seen, and dongles would allow any speaker up to a hundred trillion dollars to work with Wisa. Relative to that, it's all cheap trash. Curious though if somehow they make more money not selling dongles, because it seems...

    WiSa technology and its future developments.

    Thanks for finding these, I have been looking for something like this for my Genelec monitors, although at this point I have already moved on. Every single time I see ads from WISA, I comment on them on Facebook asking for dongles. Unfortunately they seem horribly focused on ultra low end...

    ATC speakers / Monitors

    Could it be that they are straight up boosted in the mids? Do you recall the model? Based on this from ASR for one of their bookshelves, it could be a simple case of boosted mids if their purposeful engineering issues bleed into their larger models.

    ATC speakers / Monitors

    I think any half decent speaker, even those as wonky as ATC, can sound good in a fully treated room with compensation for their frequency response anomalies... But in that case you're hearing a great room helping out an okay/average speaker. Curious what measurements would show with an ATC...
