Another win for shield users Apple TV is now available on the the shield play store. It plays in full 4k with Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos so effectively same output as Apple TV. It is now un-disputablly the best AV streamer on the market

I received my PI2 streamer yesterday. It is a DIY order (you assemble the case and connect PI2 to a Raspberry PI by clipping it onto the GPIO pins) It took me less than 30 mins. The PI2 is a digital streamer that sits on top of a Rasberry PI - It uses the I2S protocol to take the stream from a...

Anyone know where to order a rasberry pi4? Everyone is out of stock at the moment?

anyone have access to qobuz - I am keen to try it for two reasons. see what discography is like compared to tidal Also to get access to above CD quality on streaming - I like MQA and think it is great but would like to consider Dacs that don't offer it (See Denafrips :) ) Anyone here a...

I am trying to use my AVR to handle my stereo bass management. I have dac that I am running directly into my power amp (and swapping L&R pre-out with AVR). I wanted to use my sub as well but DAC has no sub management and sub out. So my idea was to use XLR outs to my power amp from DAC and then...

Does anybody know what the 32/44,1 figure is in the bottom right corner? Why is it different to the 16/44,1 k. The bottom left? Also I changed from WASAPI to ASIO and that figure went from 24 to 32 and audionirvana now sees my dac as dsd compatible. Sound quality seems better which I am...

I would share my experience of the last 24 hours of having an SMSL M500. First some background. I got into home cinema first but have started gravitating toward stereo more and more.  I did try a Cambridge audio DAC magic plus a while ago but could not tell a difference from my AVR Dac so I...

Hi all, I really wanted to get a mqa capable dac to test out.i have been toying with the idea of an external dac for a while and thie below one ticked what I wanted and I think it looks cool 😁. It has a headphone amp built in so after my one more quad driver experience I really want to get...

I have been using a nvidea shield for a while now. I recently moved my avr away from TV to accommodate a separate power amp. The shield and amp are now 7.5 meters away from TV so I bought a new hdmi2.0 complaint cable but the picture now flicks on and off (very briefly) especially when starting...

Just got my 1 more quad driver headphones from Amazon deal includes a free headphone amplifier and cable extension. My "audio chain" is now similair to a hifi one [emoji16]. Source (cellphone with tidal) connected to external dac, run through seperate amp into 4 driver headphones Packaging...

Not sure when it happened but Tidal MQA is now available on their phone App at least on Android. Question is what happens when this is cast on something like chrome cast is it still 24/96? Any other suggestion for getting MQA to AVR besides laptop? Denon Heos doesn't seem to support the MQA yet...

I am not sure which section to share but this was reminded on a FB home audio group. All I can say is wow. I got  the blue ray which has options for Atmos or steroe I listened in 2.0 and was blown away. This might be the closest to crossing the divide between surround sound and home audio as...

I couldn't sleep last night so I did what any normal person would do, I started reading audio articles to find a way to improve my sound. This is where I came across decoupling or isolating the speaker. I was already going to build plinths for my speakers from a 30mm granite slab i have as they...

Hi, I am about to hand in my resignation, My leave for the end of March has already been approved. can my company cancel my leave if i resign now?

Does anyone know how to bitstream Atmos from Jriver to AVR so that the AVR lights up with Atmos. I thought i was bit streaming movies but i can never get Atmos on my AVR and then recently i tried another program, selected bit stream and hey presto Atmos is there. I just need help on what to...

Does anyone know what this is and whether it actually makes a difference? I cant decide between a Denon X3400H and the older X4300H. I wont be able to use the extra channels (WAF) but don't mind paying extra for better sound quality especially for Stereo? Any opinions are welcome

Anyone with tidal on their android phone. Are you still able to cast to AirPlay devices with your android phone? I really want to switch from iPhone to Samsung but have denon avr and don't want to lose AirPlay funtionlaity

Hi All, Being an early adopter i have just downloaded Tidal onto my desktop PC and  Iphone. I have a Denon x2200 receiver which has airplay functionality. What I wanted to know is if I cast or stream Tidal Hifi (lossless) from my phone to my receiver will that affect the audio quality at all...

I just picked up a pair on takealot for R360. First impression is... why was I wasting my time before. I phone earphones create sound not music. I had the AKG Y23 before which to be honest were nearly worse than the I phone earphones. These were so cheap I figured I had nothing to lose. My...

Does anybody know how to get Plex to stop trans coding the audio on movie files to my chromecast. I know Chromecast doesnt support Atmos but DTS and Dolby Digital is showing up as PCM on my AVR while the same movies streamed through netflix into the same chrome cast show up with the correct...
