upscaling

ooooo macam remux ar?

Not upscaling . My arcam avr550 not advance as others big brand AV receiver, need manually switch to dolby atmos. Until now, I still cannot accept my arcam receiver surround mode. Some sword fighting scene, When I turn on the dolby surround mode , Sword clashing sound like metal become wood. because Surround mode reduce treble of original sound but increase bass. I remember one scene of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Cruise’s Ethan Hunt throwing a ball against a wall . Original sound track is dolby truehd. When I try to turn on dolby surround mode, Sound of ball hit the wall will become less powerful. After that I become pure direct kaki, no more upmix sound.

i know bro.. just teasing.. nothing proud with it.. its like FullHD source upscale to 4k...
truehd / hdma still the better audio format even atmos also depends..

DDtrueHD is excellent, better than dtshdma, imo.

i really enjoy my music video concerts in DDtrueHD.


i have settled for a new denon AVR+onkyo atmos speakers.

let's see how it all comes out this weekend.


next... OLED TV + Zidoo?!

$$$$...

any DUNE media box fans here? what u think of these:

https://www.dune-hd.com/products/dune-hd-ma...#specifications
https://www.dune-hd.com/products/dune-hd-magic-4k


diff is one is 4+32gb, the other 2+16gb.

HDR10+ but no DV?

also... dune traditionally uses realtek like zidoo, acryan... now changing to amlogic S905X3?

current chip shortage forcing them to use whatever they can get?

no la... my AV room is tiny, not a stadium.... my speakers will blow la..!

was tossing between 4700 and 3700, decided to take the latter.

TV... will likely go Sony OLED, i like ATV... will wait if good promo comes, no rush.


one thing i suspect - the chip shortage now is causing havoc - some AVR manufacturers can't make enough.

apple cutting down production, not enough chips...

TrueHD vs HDMA is like Honda vs Toyota i think haha.. but dolby did a good job for their marketing of Atmos.. that pull them far away from DTS

great bro.. i m glad u didnt insist of onkyo avr.. onkyo is sad now.. their company was being taken over and their support team is slow. I got another Onkyo unit waiting for firmware update to fix the MQA issue. I dont think now is not a good timing for onkyo and its good to observe first what will happen next before decide to jump gun on Onkyo.. i heard they will drop audyssey and take in dirac

enjoy bro

ini poison gao gao

TrueHD comes out more wholesome to me, so i prefer it, at least for music videos.

Onkyo.... i have good experience with the 706, that's why i looked at the 740/840 first.

but i think there is a supply issue - there is no one selling these 2 online. there's one with a 740 but gone missing for a month!

i also have good experience with an entry level denon; i may yet be impressed with this 3700.

been reading the manual and watching some videos - all set to receive and hook it up!

most impt is how it will come out for phono/vinyls - i hope at least as good as the old onkyo.

finally avfan
zidoo zidoo zidoo

the time will come - new player must go with new TV!

ur entry level denon did u use it for ur phono? Denon macam less impressive when comes to music.. not sure abt Onkyo Receiver thou

i hv 2 sets.

the entry level denon has no phono input.

after trying the new can i tell u whether i m satisfied!

great bro.. waiting for ur review

Go for 4700, sure no regret.... can play auro 3D, even though i'm using 3700....I'm a bit regret didnt go for 4700 haha

heard auro 3d good for concert

haha, must always go for best one.... so can last 5 to 10 yrs...

should be zidoo neo x zidoo neo x zidoo neo x

do u have aura3d media? that is rare..

half way thru setup... pair of atmos not arrived yet.

the base set up done, preliminary audyssey done, tested a bit.

first impressions:

++ latest features 8k, 8k/4k upscaling, more audio "combination" selections, firmware update OTA.
-- vinyl audio not as bright/crispy as the onkyo as expected, gets warm (not hot).
will comment further when complete.

the main reason for not going for the 4700 is it's a tad too deep for the shelf with the legs not resting properly.
the 3700 is a few cm less deep, fits just nice like the onkyo 706.

something came out bizzare - all my files played good with himedia Q10pro; no audio for HD audio files with himedia Q30.
there wasn't such an issue when Q30 worked with onkyo 706.
gave me a scare, thought hdcp2.3 causing this!
swapped the 2 himedia's - Q10pro now works good with 3700, Q30 works good with X520.

zidoo.. ya, may be exploring sooner than i thought!

-- vinyl audio not as bright/crispy as the onkyo as expected, gets warm (not hot).

which audio mode u r using? try stereo/pure and see and go in tweak the 2 channel listening setting if u havent
Audyssey tends to tame highs for movies.. if u r using movies mode like PL II those mode normally will kill the high unless u do audyssey bypass
