I think it will become a mandate on new hardware going forward. I'm gonna write it up and we will revisit this in a year to see if I was right or just churning the rumormill:)

It makes no sense why you would want to use a non-native upmixer on a 3D surround format. However, I had another source confirm that Dolby will be restricting even a DD signal from being used with a non-native upmixer.

Was really a joke just to get people to read/comment ;) Unless you submerge the sub in water, it's not gonna disappear ;)

Star Trek fans, today just may be a day to rejoice as one of your favorite techs just got one step closer to becoming a reality. Scientists have been working with a new material that when submerged in water allows soundwaves to pass around it without alteration. This real-life cloaking device...

I did my best to listen between all the "Yes" "Yes", etc to figure out what they were saying. It sounds like going forward you can't use a 3D Upmixer (Auro 3D, DTS:X, DSU) with non-native 3D formats (Auro 3D, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X) but you can use them on non-native regular formats (Dolby TrueHD...

Damn, I wish someone from Denon would come to my place and do a thorough walk around like this. So it appears their 900 watt rating on the back is based on 2CH driven at full power with the others at 1/8th power: [[150 + 150 + 11*(18.75) ] + 50 (processing estimate) ] / 0.6 = 927 watts pretty...

LOL No. Most current generation products allow you to use different upmixers for non native mult-ch audio streams. In most cases, you will use DSU anyways since most UHD movies are in Atmos or TrueHD.
