Marantz is sending me an SR8015 to test and I will be looking at all aspects of legit real world HDMI test scenarios via my APX585 and HDMI source devices.

Really? How many devices configured for 8CH will be forced to play 2CH while still mapped in an 8CH assignment, then have the receiver purposely set for 2CH and create a channel mapping issue? I've NEVER seen this happen since the beginnings of HDMI transmission for consumer gear.

The preamp out of that receiver was a bit weak as I noted. I Know Yamaha has made improvements on later models I've tested.

FROM ASR: "For reasons that are unknown at this point but is being investigated by Denon engineering, when feeding only two channels to AVR but in 8 channel configuration, and the AVR is configured as just Left and Right speakers, the noise level goes up substantially and there is potential for...

It's a limitation in their volume control circuitry from what I understand. Their higher end receivers will do above 2Vrms unclipped though. This is something I always check when reviewing receivers. I will keep pushing for more voltage when needed ;)

weird I couldn't link to the PDF without error so I changed it to their main announcement page.

A website called AudioScienceReview (ASR) published a test report a few weeks back stating the Denon AVR-X4700H receiver has design problems and measured poorly. The reality was ASR's test setup produced an improper testing scenario via HDMI leading to some non-ideal results and conclusions...

The best sounding metal domes I've ever heard are Beryllium. RBH and Revel use them in their top models and they really do have incredibly smooth and detailed highs. Unlike most metal domes, they don't exhibit oil can resonances and their break up modes are at least a 1/2 octave above the limits...

Joe Atkins is taking control of legendary speaker company Bowers and Wilkins back from silicon valley startup EVA Automation. For audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike, the change in ownership is likely a good thing, as Atkins’s team will bring back brand stability after cauterizing the...

We just did an incredibly informational Virtual Press Event for Denon on the Audioholics YouTube channel to discuss their new 2020 X-Series AV Receiver line up. In it, we learned their new products have 4 features no other AV receiver company currently has, including: 1. DTS:X Pro - to go...

Currently only Apple TV, FireStick Gen2 or newer, and NVidia support Atmos over Tidal. Even with that support, it's limited to DD+ over Atmos, not TrueHD.

That is very kind of you and no pressure to keep a membership if you don't feel it of benefit to you.

It's incalculable to my brain how anyone can operate like this in life.

Or it could be his dealers dumping cables on Ebay at below retail to attract people foolish enough to waste their money on snake oil.

Thanks man. I don't like bullies. I won't waste time engaging Ted on social media but I'd be happy to settle up with him face to face if the opportunity presents itself at a trade show (if we ever have those again after COVID-19). Legitimate companies don't fear our analysis or measurements...
