Only a matter of time..😉

Great info, thx! Does this mean the audio is correctly synced to the video as well?

I've seen this Arvus discussed before, don't remember if it was here or another forum. But..is this an existing product, or is it waporware..? Who has seen one? Who has used one..?? And when you read the "About"-section on the website...well..this guy is Leonardo DaVinci, Elon Musk, Trump, Albert Einstein all in one.. Yes, maybe that was mean of me and I take it all back when I see the product..🙂 So, is Arvus a company that will deliver..? Who has seen/used their previous products..?? @Kal Rubinson, I seem to recall U mentioned Arvus somewhere..? Have any info..??

Hmm..please blindtest this...😉

Right, you're only into music, forgot..🙂 But as for myself, I'm also big into music concerts, as well as movies. Content is available from various sources.. BTW, I predict: Within a year, U will have a high-end projector and a retractable screen to complete your system..😉

Of course, but for downloaded DD+ Atmos files it has a use though.

You mean Apple Music on a Mac? But this opens up possibilities on a PC, doesn't it..? I'll give it a test drive later..🙂

@El Guapo, @The Computer Audiophile You guys seen this? A supposedly working, free DD+ Atmos to PCM decoder..! http://cavern.sbence.hu/cavern/index.php

It actually is. Not for audio-only files, the play fine. But a mkv-container with both video and 8+ ch audio will not play and gives an error message. @El Guapomade a couple of Atmos decoded 12ch mkv's which I posted links to on JRivers forum. They do not play under Win, but work on Mac and Linux. Hendrik is aware of the problem, so it's likely a LAV-decoder issue. Didn't seem to put it on top of his list though.. Check these threads on Interact. Feel free to bump them to get Hendrik's attention. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,132607.0.html https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,132865.0.html

You're right of-course. It's only a problem with audio and video together in a MKV-container. Then 8+ ch won't work. I mixed things up. Again..😎

And it plays all 12 channels..? Have they solved the 8+ ch limitation..??

Fantastic, but only for Mac, right? No software atm for Win that can handle 8+ channels afaik...?? Jriver, wake up..😉

Great article Chris. Thank you! Looking forward to the next articles. Especially curious as to how Trinnov stands up against Audiolense. @mitchcoalready knows, of course..🙂..? You now have a system that seems done and ready (?), should be perfect for comparing the various DRC's out there..?

MSM Studios, big yes on that one! Make sure u get to hear Boney M in Atmos...😄 Also, bring a big usb-stick. Who knows, they might have some cool decoders we need..😉
