I am looking for a setup for both music and home-cinema, but I am more specific about the quality in the music side (as long as the movie part is fine). The room is quite big (7m*4m with 3.5m high ceiling - or 25ft*15ft for our US friends), I will be seated ar. 3m (10 feet) from the speakers and...

Hi, I have been wanting to revise my current setup into something with the ability to have room correction. I have been considering the Eversolo DMP A6/A8 with a Purifi/Hypex amp. I’m now questioning if I would not be better off with something like the Cinema 70S as a processor into the same...

Hi everyone. The thread's subject is almost clickbaity as I expect responses of "there is no difference" as I have read on numerous posts here. However, I am asking more from a theoretical perspective. Most responses I have read are similar to the following: the DAC conversion in the external...

Hi, I have been following ASR for quite some time getting myself educated and looking beyond the audio foolery of the marketing departments. (Many thanks for that) For years now I have been using an AVR in the living room powering a 2ch speaker setup. We’re mainly watching TV and listen to...

Multiple HDMI 2.1, Hdcp 2.3, 4k/120hz, Auro3D. Dirac firmware update options. is it safe to say that this is the PERFECT time to buy an AVR for the long term? Seems nothing in the upcoming future will render 2023 AVRs obsolete any time soon. Or are there any particular technology/feature in...

Hi All, I am new to this forum and seek some experts help. I have 5 speakers that include: Two B&W 603 s2 (30-200 watts, 3-8ohms) two B&W 685 (25-100 watts, 4-8 ohms) HTM62 (30-120 watts, 4.3- 8 ohms) Can you please suggest proper AVR system for a room that is 20ft x 35ft? Going to have my...

Hi I just got a Marantz Cinema 50, feels like a nice unit. I’m a bit concerned though, I’m hearing noise from -7db (75 on scale mode). It doesn’t feel right to start hearing noise at this level from a « premium » product. Totaly audible at max level. I thought such a unit would be dead silent...

I currently own a pair of Genelec 8341 with a 7360A Subwoofer running GLM. Source is a Matrix Element X2 using ROON. As I will be moving to a new house, I have the opportunity to have a dedicated room. I love 2 channels (or 2.1) and listen to mostly classical music. But at the same time, I love...

While planning my surround sound setup I got stuck at the questions if I want to get add a center channel or not. For movies and native surround music like Dolby Atmos music a center channel makes absolutely sense because there is native content mixed to that channel. But most of my music still...

Currently I have a Yamaha RX-A2060 for home theater and a Primare stereo amp for music. Due to lack of space, I would like to replace both of them with a new Home Theater AVR. It's really hard to make the right choice. When I go to listen to an AVR, it is each time in different conditions (room...

After reading about the new Schiit Syn I asked myself again if surround sound processing for stereo content is worth it . The Schiit is using one of the most simple ways to 'upmix' to surround by just playing the difference between L and R on the rear speakers to create a surround ambience. Home...

I've been doing research to learn the in's and out's of picking a good setup. That being said, I'm reaching a point where I'm hitting a lot of questions that don't have straight forward answers and is leaving me in hellish indecision loops of trying to find the best bang-for-buck on my budget. I...

Received the Denon notification and was able to add it to my Denon.com Cart for purchase. Not sure if I want to wait on Test results, still need an AVR with it's capabilities, but already expect disappointment after the 3800 Review. Undecided :confused:

Hello all - Over the past few days I've consumed what seems to be an overload of data and find myself semi going in circles when it comes to an AVR. Primary use will be Home Theater with music being secondary. Planned devices connected: cable box, Apple TV, maybe 1 gaming console. Setup...

I’m in the process of setting up my first home theater system in my about 11’x15’ listening space. I plan to integrate the audio equipment I use and with be using the system for both critical listening and watching films. My music system presently consists of a Mac Mini --> Topping D10 -->...

Apologize if this is a dumb question, but most of what I can find online applies to multi-channel setups with surround processing and whatnot. I use my floorstanders in a 2-channel home theater type setup where we watch a lot of movies, stream television, and casually listen to music as well...

Thought I'd do a thread after the comments on the smsl dac that reminded me of a discussion after the minidsp flex. To be specific one on a chart about av interfaces, featuring both AVRs, dsp dacs and the likes of the Nad M33. I remember thinking: that's odd to place the minidsp flex on a chart...

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now and thought I'd post. I'm finally upgrading my existing system. I listen to streaming music (classic rock and jazz) at moderate sound levels and some movies. I've been listening to music as an "audiophile-lite" for almost 50 years. I worked as a young...

I am considering upgrading a friend's AVR. As an entry level AVR Denon AVR-X3700H seems to be a good choice. The unit has nine amplifiers but my friend's setup is 5.2, hence there will be two redundant channels of amplification. My friend's subwoofers are passive. They are currently run through...
