Not snake oil stuff by any stretch, but tangible things I can't do with any gear under $20k. Using a setup like mine lets me do FIR filtering for tri-amping, lets me pick low order filters for crossing to multiple subs, etc. I have no need or desire to use consumer level gear with HDMI inputs as all of it inferior to what I have now unless I drop $20k+ on Datastat or Trinnov gear. Please no one tell me I can do this over HDMI. However, if JRiver were to work out an agreement with Dolby (and even DTS) to decode object oriented formats, I'd gladly pay JRiver $1k+. Sucks the software to get the decoder is $1300 retail, and I still can't decode DTS-X, but it is a start in the right direction, and a bargain compared to an AV processor I'd need to match my PC's level of performance (which are $15k and up). ![]() There are 16 channel audio cards that show up that way to JRiver (such as the excellent RME HDSPe: I have been using for sometime now). Heck, there is a picture of the Dolby Media Producer decoding Atmos over a TrueHD stream at the first site's link which is very appealing to me as I use AES digital outputs to feed three pro audio speaker processors. Can we really decode Atmos streams with software such as dolby's media producer suite? What are the chances this software decoder ever working with JRiver?
