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

[Music1969]

Ask my editor via the Stereophile site. Not sure he will be amenable nor am I sure that I (and others) will be able to commit the time and effort.
I do respond to posts here, there (Stereophile) and almost everywhere as my inclinations permit.

Can you provide your Hapi to @John Atkinson to measure?

Not unless there is a published review and, at this moment, that is undetermined.

A very exquisite product, but also very expensive, losing its value. There are also Realiser A16 2U products of the same type.

FWIW, it is forthcoming.

Has anyone compared the decoded, analog audio signal coming out of the BALANCED ANALOG outputs on the Arvus H2-4D with the signal one gets from the balanced outs in a device such a Tonewinner AT-300?

 

[Volumetrik]

Is there any other news on this processor. It seems to be in stock on their website !

very nice Info here , thanks all
Quick question is do you agree the

Arvus – H2-4D is better than Meridian 271 ? Or what is your opinion?​

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 consider, that being said, nobody really uses it, And companies like JBL have portable implementations of it that could be considered broken if you are using that equipment with the Arvus.

Interface wise, The Meridian may have more consumer-friendly options since the Arvus is a professional tool.

If I recall correctly, the meridian 271 is pretty old though right? So it wouldn't support Dolby Atmos, so if by better you mean supporting modern standards, Then the one supporting modern standards is better.

However, unless you can hear a defect with the Meridian 271, chances are You're not going to notice a sound quality difference moving from one digital thing to another, especially for stereo.

Thanks for your reply, Sorry I’m new and my bad didn’t asked correctly!
I know this fact it’s better use digital processor for Meridian speakers but I found they are many times more expensive than good AVP so I would like to know is this good converter or if there is any other product can do same as h2-4d / 271 for connecting and decoding?

The Trinnov Altitude 32 has AES out for its multichannel with Atmos decoding.

The Storm ISP EVO with the AES/EBU or the AES67 output board might be the best option on the market at the moment.
Seems to have one of the best web interfaces and features (like Dirac ART) and is a lot cheaper than the Trinnov

Arvus H1-D​

Arvus H1-D​

Thank you Sir
I will check this

 

[Kamrooz]

wonder how expensive this little one is!!! With $3250 can buy a good Dac or AVR
So i understand this device work between Active speakers and analog processor and decode and transfer high quality audio and video !
