yr AVR is obsolete.

DTS and Dolby are digital audio but are not HD audio.
optical/coaxial output can only handle DTS/DD, not higher.

DTSHDMA, DDTrueHD are HD audio, need AVR with HD audio capability.
DTSX, DDAtmos are even higher grade HD audio - these need AVR with DTSX/DDAtmos capability.

You need media source, player and AVR all HD audio capable to give HD audio.
Or all DTSX/DDAtmos setup to give DTSX/DDAtmos audio.
For these, only possible with HDMI connections and cables.

in yr case, if the source and player are HD audio, but yr AVR is not, it will downgrade to core DTS/DD.


similarly for video, if source and player are 4k, but TV is not, it will downgrade to 1080p.
only with 4k tv can 2160p or 1440p be displayed.

hi thanks for the feedback.
ok i understand now. As a result, i still need to buy an avr with dts x and atmos support in order the play dts X and atmos. mostly probable will go with dts x because of current speakers placement. that is why DTS company still the best no matter what Dolby has done so far lol.

ok thank you very much for the advice.

cheers

I plan to get a new avr with dtsx, and the q5pro too.
But such files with dtsx are still rare.
So, hesitating, waiting.
Also, uhd4k videos also still rare for 4k tv.
Only netflix and youtube offer 4k videos.

So, for playback, still holding on to 1080p dtshdma, ddtruehd for now.

However, if need replacement right now, surely wise to get the newest capabilities.

ya i was thinkg a yamaha RX-V581 it support atmos and dts. and also Q5pro.
btw what is the diff between Q5pro and H8 2016 model? one with dts x support and other do not?
for music i have another setup so yamaha 581 is more the enough for movie.

ya dtsx source are very rare for now but i should be more next year.

cheers

that, and 10bit, 2160p 60hz.

Dolby vision, HDR and etc.

Hi, Nicety,

Having your Q5II since 2013, still running good . wish to find out what is the different between H8 & Q10 pro? Would like to get one for my 4k tv. and use for netflix, Kodi, cloud TV.. etc. What is your suggestion. TQ

Thank you for your support bro, Himedia boxes are proven over the time. This the reason we choose Himedia. I will strongly recommend to go for Q5 Pro and Q10 Pro since the hisilicon support more video audio codec and future proof.

H8 is using Rockchip chipset, compare with hisilicon, Hisilicon is better in video quality.

To choose between Q5 pro and Q10 pro, it is depend on your budget.

Sorry bro, this not Astro box. I think you have confused this box with those illegal Iptv services. Himedia is selling high end media player which is capable to stream latest audio and video codec and online streaming. We are not selling Illegal astro content to you.
