Doggie Howser 7 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I would always recommend holding off - if you can - till the new HDMI 2.1 chipsets get sorted. I am waiting for Anthem AVM70 - it will launch with HDMI 2.0 but will get a board upgrade to HDMI 2.1 when the dust has settled. The HDMI 2.1 models launched last year had a buggy chipset and very gimped. Denon/Marantz only has one input that is HDMI 2.1 40Gbps compliant and doesn't pass 4K120 from an Xbox Series X Link to post Share on other sites

AnsuzSIN 4 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 @ Audio. You really got everything wrong. When I play Onkyo with 5.1 - it is Dead Fish. No external amps - just the Onkyo with 5.1 (but active Sub). If I avoid 5.1 material, I can use my First System. I get 2 Channel Steam Crab there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AnsuzSIN 4 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 I have upgraded my EMM to DAC2X V2. It can decode 5.1 into 2 channel. If I am not looking forward to multi channel playback with a suitable AV Processor, it means I can stay put. Link to post Share on other sites
