Try the Gameboy switch apps with their mono midi sounds. Causes issues. On the shield it's watching Shogun or Invincible.... Or really anything.
Interesting. I admittedly have not tried any of the classic games.
Will try my NVIDIA Shield as well out of curiosity. I am a big NVIDIA fan from the NV1 era, but the lack of ads on the app home Screen for AppleTV is worth the price of admission. I have toddlers and it’s annoying when the AndroidTV ads show horror films or things that wouldn’t be appropriate for kids. Even when advertising MA/R rated shows or movies on Apple, they seem to do a better job picking an innocuous poster.
+1. I love the sound and feature set of my HTP-1 but it does require the occasional reboot which none of my mainstream Av gear requires. From what I have read, StormAudio and Trinnov are reliable as well. If you don’t have issues when setting it up, the unit will perform as configured indefinitely. Trinnov did have some sort of issue with Klipsch speakers, maybe
@Buckeye Amps setup if I remember correctly.
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 for those kinds of products.
+100
@TimoJ is one of the rare alpha testers who is also publicly discussing HTP-1/ART. It sounds like there are just interface issues more than anything completely deal breaking.
I bought DLBC last November, wasn’t super happy and asked for a refund.
@Flak asked for my project file and at my request ran it through ART to see what would happen if/when ART is available for the HTP-1 and the results looked really promising.
Yet, even the Focal Astral 16 is lacking Dirac ART and all of the complaints going from Dirac 3.4 to the current version seem to be related to modifications to the software related to broader ART support.
Based upon the Focal Astral being slow to have ART and no other company offering ART, I bet the problem is something on Dirac’s end whether technical or commercial/financial (in terms of what they ask licensees to pay to offer ART).
It’s a real race to see who is “next” after StormAudio! I would also like to see how ART works with more ordinary rooms and speakers…
