    Apple TV Amos pass through

    In my experience EAC3 is supported via Plex on my AppleTV 4K, but TrueHD is either transcoded to AC3 or passed as DD+. Tried an NVidea Shield Pro, and finally managed to get Dolby Atmos / TrueHD playing in HDMI bypass to my receiver.

    Audio items for sale on Temu (temu.com/za)

    Just purchased a variety of small items from Temu, like a protective case for a Macbook Pro. I was suitably impressed. Delivery was faster than Amazon (less than 2 weeks) and the quality as good as anything at 4 times the price from local gadget shops. Unlike Amazon, they don't include import...

    Epson ls11000 testing

    Thank you for this. I also have the LS11000 and am extremely happy with it, but may consider trading up to a 12000 as the black projector will be a lot less noticeable in my room. PM me if you would like to discuss.

    How do you get the best of Apple Music on your HiFi ?

    Yes so I've checked. Despite this setting I mentioned... ... there is virtually no traffic to the Apple TV from the Internet, only between my iPhone and the Apple TV. What's worse, it seems that while this version of Apple TV can still connect to iTunes using my Apple ID, iCloud is no longer...

    How do you get the best of Apple Music on your HiFi ?

    Hi Raffs. I start playback from one of my devices, most convenient being my iPhone, then select the Apple TV as Airplay device. From what I understand, once the Apple TV is set to prefer playing music from iTunes, the lossless music is then sourced directly from Apple Music by the iTunes App on...

    How do you get the best of Apple Music on your HiFi ?

    I use an older Apple TV (3rd Gen) - the last model that still had an optical-out. It supports Apple Lossless via S/PDIF to my AR DAC7. Since disabling Dolby Atmos / spatial audio, I prefer its' sound to that of Tidal. I have streamed the same release/album with both, and even taking into account...

    The curse of the audiophile

    As a matter of interest, I recently compared Apple lossless vs Tidal playback using the same DAC, amp, speakers, etc. I was surprised to hear that the Apple version of a song did not sound nearly as impressive as the Tidal version. Analysing this, I hypothesised that Apple's lossless codec...

    MC Cartridge repair at VAS Audio USA

    They have sent me their standard service price list, and I am considering booking my cartridge in for a repair under option F @ £325 plus shipping. If you're considering the same, we could try to co-ordinate our bookings and perhaps save on shipping. (I am in DBN.)

    MC Cartridge repair at VAS Audio USA

    I previously had my XV1-S retipped by Expert Stylus ([email protected]) in the UK. All-in-all cost was around R7500, including shipping. Cartridge sounded better than before I thought. Unfortunately since then the Cantilever and suspension was accidentally damaged. Considering sending it...
