There seems to be no way to save a room to separate memory.

You can copy them to SD card, and from there to your pc.
Edit: oh no, sorry I was confused with PRIRs, rooms are another matter (I think)...

This is strange, it's a standard 6 channel flac. Measurement sequence should be L R C Sub SL SR repeating twice for -30deg and 30deg measurements.
Maybe WAV works better?

I just loaded both file formats.. FLAC and WAv... both work the same way on the USB input of the OPPO.... it sweeps three speakers only... L, R, C ???

Are there 3 x 6 sweeps on there or not?

no... its 3x5.... look center, look left and look right... with each sweeping L then R then C then L then R..

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

i think one of the last FW updates does some sort of reset by default. I also actively used that feature and presets 1-4 get reverted to factory state, it works as intended

This is confusing. It's 3x L R C Sub SL SR, you can even see this in the dropbox preview window.
I have an Oppo too, streaming from my Synology NAS works fine, I'll try playing on the USB port later...

Edit: USB works too (Oppo 203), I have no clue what's happening...can somebody else please try to play one of the files on their system?

I just re-ran the sweeps and look better notes this time... this is what the files sweep...

This looks very suspicious. Can you hear the announcements on all speakers?

I can not manage to play the file except downmixed to stereo. But it seems to contain 3 x 6 sweeps allright, except I could not hear the sub sweep, but a pause instead (maybe the lower part of the sub sweep was there but I couldn't hear it).
@Dixter: are you sure that is not what's happening in your case (for whatever reason): downmix to stereo? And maybe dolby prologic being applied afterwards? The latter could explain that you do get a sweep in the center, but the rear L and R sweeps are going to L and R front (I assume you mean fronts with L and R).

If @SobiC can hear the 3 x 6 sweeps correctly then I assume the file is ok but it is just a matter of how to play it back correctly.
(I have never had 5.1 channel flac or wav files before, I have to figure out first how to play them.)

Thanks! The LFE signal is 10dB below the other channels (-5.5dBFS - this is what the Realiser gave me at full volume)
I've converted the WAV to MP4 (HE-AAC), maybe this is more pleasing

I have a feeling its on my equipment that is causing the issue... got too many people in the house now wanting to watch shows... so I can't get to it right now... will let you all know how it goes... thanks for the files and the help here...

Hi Everyone,

I am new to head-fi, but have been monitoring this thread for awhile and have a question. I finished initial set up of my realiser last night, using the Atmos mix of Godzilla: King of Monsters as a test case. I noticed something curious. After I got the volume to an acceptable level (90 with volume limit turned off) I noticed my volume would fluctuate seemingly for every scene, going from 90 to 86 to 82 to 84. Am I missing something? Does not happen with PCM audio.

Try using JRiver.

I've just tried playing back the flac on my Cambridge CXUHD, which is essentially a re-branded Oppo 203. I'm playing back the file from a USB hard drive using the Oppo media control app, and I'm getting sound on all speakers, including the surrounds. For me, that's even the re-encoded Dolby or DTS (can't remember which) sound via coax, so it most certainly should work on HDMI.
