JBL Synthesis AVR and Processor with Dirac

[amirm]

There is an argument one can make to force Dolby to license the patents under FRAND terms thanks to interoperability rules.

I don't know that RAND licensing was part of format acceptance for Blu-ray formats. Regardless, the reason that won't work though is that you can't license the copy protection for BD formats for open source platforms. Without a BD format license, Dolby has no obligation to license you anything.

The proposal here is to get Atmos and include it in some bootleg implementation of BD/UHD format. That just won't work.

Some chance since we have some relationship with Harman (although much weaker outside of the speaker line).

What about putting a SDP 75 on the bench? It would be really interesting to see if the DAC section is better than other AVRs/processors...

What about sending one in for review?

I don't have one or I would.

Same here ;-)

Not sure I want to know...

Specs (Trinnov Altitude 32) look good:

ADC Resolution / Sampling Rate: 24 bits/96 kHz
DAC Resolution / Sampling Rate: 24 bits/192 kHz
A/D Signal-To-Noise Ratio: 119 dB (A-Weighted)
D/A Signal-To-Noise Ratio: 118 dB (A-Weighted)
Analog Input Impedance: 20 kOhms / 10 kOhms
Reference Level: +18dBu @ 0dBFS (Balanced)
Clock / Jitter:Jitter attenuation > 50 dB above 100Hz)
Power Supply: Independent for audio and processing
Saftey Components: AntiPop relays on each output

I think it uses pro audio interfaces so it will likely be good.

Starting at $17,000 and going up to over $30k, I would hope for some top shelf numbers.
I just got my SuperPowerBall ticket and keeping my fingers crossed.

@amirm
Do you know when the 24 ch version will be available? Couldn't find anything concrete yet, and even called Harman Germany... they don't know either.

Currently have the Arcam AV40 if people have any questions. It is the cheaper sister product to the SDP-55, same platform but without Dante and with a slightly lower grade DAC.

No Logic16 in this either, right?

 

[snickers]

Right, Logic16 will be only in the JBL's, unfortunately...

Is it’s digital out a duplication of an analog out -> can you connect an external DAC for e.g. Channel 1+ 2/mains?

Correct. There is the usual 16 Channel stereo type mode. It will have Auro and Dirac BM added same as the JBL but Dante, Logic 16 and slight better DAC are JBL exclusive.
