Hey Gene,
I have a few questions...

I saw you recommend keeping Eco mode on Auto. What is the pros and cons and will it degrade sound quality or power/outputs?

Is it safe to use an Audioquest jitterbug in the 5v USB port on the rear.

Why does IMAX limit volume to 75 on 0-98 volume scale. I have not set a volume limit myself so is this something IMAX does intentionally?

When will the HDMI 2.1 hardware update be available in the UK.

I really appreciate your time in looking into this for me and understand if you do not have an answer for all the questions.

Kind regards
Soosh

I'll try the Audioquest question....why would you want to use anything from Audioquest would be my first question....and then point you to this analysis/review of that particular piece of fluff https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audioquest-jitterbug-usb-filter-review.10205/

Great article. Thank you! Why do you not like audioquest? Thinking of ne speaker cables I currently own the AQ rocket 11 cables and looking at QED genesis silver cable... any suggestions/ opinions?

If anyone has answers for my previous question that too would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Soosh

Because Audioquest is a bullshit cable company, selling overpriced woo, a pox on things audio IMO. Cabling isn't magic. Try this for a variety of articles on things speaker wire http://roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm

Not just cable, I know you don't care for ext DACs otherwise you would have noticed their way overpriced/over hyped Dragonfly USB DACs. I wonder what adjectives Amir is going to use in addition to citing the $12 dongle if he ever got one of those $399 flies to measure. People are buying though, so what can we say..

Oh I just lump that jitterbug with their dacs....fluff.
