Hi. I purchased a cd which contained also binaural files to listen to. Honestly, according to MY opinion, the original sound was better than the binaural, although the latter was at 24 bits. Why did it seem worse to me?

Thanks and best,

Davide
 
Was your listening with speakers (what I do almost exclusively) or headphones? (Binaural tends to sound wonky through speakers, IMHO).
 
Binaural sounds only right if you listen to it with headphones.

Correct. But I understand that the new Denon AVRs such as the X4800H are expected to receive a FW update which will add a new sound decoding mode called 360 reality audio which will be able to decode 2.0 binaural content and play it using all 7.1.4 speakers.

That sounds exciting. Don't know how that is going to be an accurate reproduction of sound though.
