Do you use CC for music?

[Good4it]

2.1 or 5.1 or 4.1?

 

[one more time]

You wanna clarify that question? Most music is recorded in 2.0

 

[lovinthehd]

How would you use the cc in 2.1 or 4.1 speaker setups? Or you have some sources in mind that are 2.1 or 4.1?

Assuming the listening system is capable, I listen to music with the number of channels (+.2) that it is recorded in. The exception is mono which I listen to in 2-channel.

So SACD and DVD-A are in 5-channel, CD is in 2-channel, is there a 7 or 11-channel BD-A?!? I need to get that if so.

I prefer to listen to music in stereo 2 CH only. It just sounds better that way to me. Others may like to use their CC. We all have different tastes.


Cheers,

Phil

Yes there are 7.1.4 Atmos Blu-ray Audio discs out now. I know INXS Kick was re-released in that format in 2018. Not sure if many others are out yet.

What I really want to know is does my AVR add a center channel from the L+R channel?

When streaming music how do you know what format it was recorded in? I’m assuming since it’s stereo there only 2 original tracks. Are there some that have more? If it’s over BT is it always 2 channel (stereo)?

My only degree is from my wife ( the THIRD) and LE.

Not aware of any streaming service that offers multi-ch, just 2ch. Not heard of multi-ch bluetooth either. If you have a center and use an upmixer (like various Dolby/DTS sound modes for example) the avr will matrix/create a "center" channel.

Based on a couple conversations I had, most streaming isn't going to be multi-channel, even if the original disc, say, was encoded for 5.1.
Have never bothered confirming, as it hasn't mattered so much to me thus far. *shrugs

Will have to play around with that. Is that the only one you're aware of?

I go back and forth between , "Straight" "Dolby Surround", and "Pure Direct" on my Yamaha 3060. Dolby Surround uses the center and my Ascend acoustics horizon is absolutely fantastic, so it gets a lot use for music.

At the moment; but I may do some hunting.

My source for music is 2Ch.

But I use 5.1.4 for music - NeuralX or DSU on my Yamaha CX-A5100.

I think it sounds better than any 5.1CH SACD or DVDA I have ever owned.
