I think 95% of the movies out there sounds significantly better in Auro 3D than their native Atmos/DTSX tracks. I didn't realize how much I was missing out with the standard Atmos tracks until I installed my a new receiver that has Auro 3D recently.

About every movie is like a new movie again. Mind blowing.

finally maverick is here

ehh this auta 3d is apa ni? got new system lai?

Auro3D been around for more than a decade already. Never gained enough traction, then went bankrupt. But its technology is still top of the class, especially its upmixing algorithm.

I've already had a full 7.1.4 setup for several years now but never had Auro3D Auromatic upmixing up until recently. Went back and rewatch several Atmos movies over the long weekend (13 Hours Soldiers of Benghazi, John Wick, Wonder Woman) and my jaw dropped to the floor just how much better those movies sounded. Even went and watch some old shitty horror flick like Silent Hill which was poorly mixed from day 1 and never got a remaster, Auromatic made it quite an enjoyable experience.

Auromatic has made my entire setup feel new again, can't wait to go revisit some movies that advertised to have Atmos but has only like 2 minutes worth of height and 3-dimentional sound effects (hint; MCU movies).

so it wasn't just me... I tot Atmos was over hyped, make u spend more speakers nia and upgrade amp, but not much of a diff
most movies I don't feel the 3D effect
then again my pariah speakers n placement may not be exactly Atmos approved

Yes it's a tough pill to swallow. I already swallowed it couple of years ago, especially during the PKP time. Forced to stay at home and watch countless movies everyday, I realized how much of a waste the height speakers were.

Spent a small fortune on buying the speakers, spent so much time calculating the exact angles to install them just for some "wooosh, sweee, tik tik tok toks" up in the ceiling. Lmao.

Wish I jumped on Auro3D sooner because now no more PKP cannot stay at home everyday.

ah ben, yea I paham what you went thru
I remember when after install wanna try so many movies with Atmos, I keep looking at the ceiling, nabeh how come no sound one?

ppl all review till damn Tok kong u can feel it over ur head n what not, I was like ehh my speaker so fast rosak ar

I tot I was just expecting too much, guess it was really just over hype then

let me look into this auro3d

Don't depend on your hearing, open the animated screen it'll "show" you, haha.

So you must have 4 height speakers right? 2 not enough?

Trinnov is my next target. That's the next level.


No, 2 was never enough. Minimum 4, optimum 6 - which is the max allowed by the mainstream pre-pros (Denon A1H, Anthem AVM90).

You want more than that, gotta go StormAudio or Trinnov.

wah.. the animated screen look Tok kong

but got such effect boh

You guys can watch this video here, he does some comparisons between Auro-matic upmixer vs Dolby Surround Upmixer vs DTS Neural X vs native Dolby Atmos:





Use headphones btw, because the clips are recorded in binaural.

Blade of the 47 Ronin (2022)

decent movie, highly watchable - samurais & ronins vs ninjas & shinobis.

a loose sequel to 47 Ronin 2013 (keanu reeves), lotsa katana play, martial arts, "john wick" actions.

even a bit of shinobi jutsu!

great colors, dtshdma audio, nice budapest scenaries.

most actors/actresses r much unknown, except for mark dacascos. 3/5.
