In my experience, I have not experienced any cracks or pops in any of the scenarios that you would have the headphone on your head. I have not listened during power-on because I use that point to have my headphones still and laying there in the storage position for the head tracker calibration...

I’ve made a high quality 7.1.2 room using my own LS50 with Rel S3 sub in my music room and faking the single speaker method of measurements. I’m quite enjoying the results and can’t say I’ve heard any theater room sound better. I can make the 7.1.2 into a 7.1.6 quite easily now that I know what...

It's too bad the HPEQ can't be applied to specific speakers while a different HPEQ applies to other speakers. I'd like to improve my Surrey room overheads I used with my direct measured 7 speakers but the only way for that to work is to keep the 7 speakers on my autoEQ profile while having the...

I think the impulse response must be shifted, that is the only way for async to work as it's impossible to have the timing right by hand. It would also be the only way to combine PRIR profiles together from different systems that have different system delays. It would also be the reason you...

yeah, so I don’t know how to save a room, thus am hesitant about doing a factory reset unless the behavior is confirmed.

Firmware 1.75 introduces a lot of new settings but many of them seem to be set strangely. It made my audio weird, like the apm89 bass settings defaulting to -12. And all the hdmi settings being video on port 1. I almost want to do a full reset hoping the actual defaults are better and not have...

Haha, you’ll actually want to do all the manual reading and tutorial watching before you receive the unit, so you can get going on day 1. Otherwise it’s a pretty long learning curve.

Mine works fine with the usb-c based hdmi converter officially from Apple with my iPad Pro 2018 version. Is yours an official apple converter? Before you blame the a16, try and route it direct to tv to make sure your converter isn’t just defective, or the hdmi cable you’re using. It’s hdmi...

I haven’t tried that one specifically but can tell you the hdmi adapter for the iPad works. I’ve used it to listen to tidal without having to power on the tv so I can enjoy music with virtual stereo speakers.

Photos of the insides and the shell please! By the way, are you sure it’s plastic and not metal?

I wonder if this was only reporting the latency through the SVS processing. Since through PCM input I am not detecting noticeable latency. It could be the Dolby Atmos decoder is adding additional latency that wasn’t known at the time this table was created.

So I finally was able to see the audio delay you all are talking about. The Xbox one can switch output between Atmos bitstream and pcm 7.1 output. With that I can play YouTube audio sync test patterns. With pcm it is perfectly synced as far as I can tell. With Atmos it is slightly behind. Not...

I've got another idea on this whole solo button vs preset discussion. How about the numeric keys normally act as preset selection. However, once one of the other "solo" buttons are pressed and it's in "solo" mode, then the numeric buttons become the overhead speaker buttons. Once the "all"...

I ran into an interesting situation today. I decided to try my cobalt to play through my stereo system using a macbook pro. Tidal detected the dragonfly and automatically set it up to "exclusive mode", "locked volume", and not "pass through" mqa so it could do software unfolding and send it to...

I am running firmware 160 now but still see the same bug with the unit going completely off (no lights, no remote response, no button response) if turned off for a while. Unplug-replug is the only way to recover. So I guess this is not the "stall" bug they fixed in 160. I haven't seen anyone...

Sweet! Based on the known issue text change from version to version, hopefully that takes care of the excessive stream lock time, it's been annoying listening to music with the A16 because of that delay.

Have any of you seen this bug? Normally when using A16, the power light is green, when the unit is powered off, the light is orange. However, sometimes when I power off A16 for the night. Next time I look at it the power light is off. The remote cannot turn it on. The buttons cannot turn it...

What I do is use the menu->preset-A page to switch to the preset I want and "apply" at that point. Normally I use this mode to change presets rather than the PA menu.

Haha, only pretty sure. The first day I got it I wanted to try using an outboard dac for ultimate quality. I know at the end I was trying to listen to music through the outboard DAC with the realiser, trying to max out the digital volume to listen to it, but it introduced distortion and...

The Galaxy S9 is usb-c so both the dragon tail and that adapter it came with are going to do the same thing. But the dragon tail is flexible so probably a better choice so you don’t snap the connector off by accident which is possible using the hard adapter it comes with.

I'm pretty sure I made an HPEQ measurement using SPDIF out to my dac -> headphone amp before, so it works. You'd have to set the volume level appropriately to avoid clipping and get into the greens. I think though the manual mentions using the gain switch to get it to the right level when...

But what does this setting actually do in the realiser? Does it actually do nothing or does it do something? It would still be good to know what changes happen if it’s set.

This buzz, I wanted to discuss a bit to help try to piece together a full picture. -When the buzz happens, is it virtualized like the buzzing is coming from virtual speakers? If so, it could be the dolby decoder having some bug that starts sending some junk data to the virtual speaker input...

Mine is like that. It started off tight and with multiple unplug and plugs of usb and headphone jack, the whole case is a little loose and sounds like rattling. But I think the circuit board and headphone jack are with the bottom panel as one piece, and the other shell parts are separate...

The realiser does do the center correctly if you are using a 4.0 speaker setup with a 5.1 signal. I haven't tested whether the LFE mixes to the front large speakers though since I don't have a way to easily test that. I thought the +10db LFE cannot be detected by an AVR and is there because a...
