    Sonos beam 2 fussy over playing Atmos

    Hi. I have a Sonos Beam 2 connected via HDMI ARC to my Sony TV. Also connected by HDMI is a Sony 4K bluray player and Virgin Media TV360 box. I am struggling to get Atmos from the 4K player. If I watch Atmos content through the Disney+ app on the Virgin box, the Beam will output Atmos (at least...

    Question Amp upgrade dilemma (Marantz to Marantz...)

    Yes, the QAs I have are spot on for the space I have - they were sold by QA on the basis that you could place them anywhere. As they are close to a wall I have the foam bungs in place and an SW takes care of lower frequencies (there's also variable speaker response settings on the M-CR610 to...

    Question Amp upgrade dilemma (Marantz to Marantz...)

    It would be interesting hearing which stage is better - the one in the Marantz or the built in one on the Technics turntable, which has been excellent so far.

    Question Amp upgrade dilemma (Marantz to Marantz...)

    It's a great idea and I have considered using the M-CR610 as a CD & DAB source. Sadly the Dali's wouldn't fit the space - slightly too tall for the shelf they need to sit on I'm afraid! My QAs are 235mmH, 200mmD. The Dalis are about 20mm too tall.

    Question Amp upgrade dilemma (Marantz to Marantz...)

    Thanks hifi. I've wracked my brains reviewing the space but I'll struggle to to move anything around that would keep everyone else happy (it's a shared family space). And one of the downsides of vinyl is of course the amount of room it takes up! The 7000n looks like a very appealing...

    Question Amp upgrade dilemma (Marantz to Marantz...)

    I've been slowly tweaking my rather modest system over the past year or so to get the best out of it and I am reaching a junction where I want to make a decision. I currently own a Marantz M-CR610 CD Receiver which has been pretty good for the past 10 years as a one stop shop CD player...

    Sonos Beam Gen 1 still no DTS post-update?.

    FIXED! In the Bli Ray players audio settings I change the “BD Audio Mix” setting from On to Off and it is now outputting DTS5.1 to the Beam.

    Sonos Beam Gen 1 still no DTS post-update?.

    Hi I’m still can’t get my Gen 1 Sonos Beam to output DTS since the S2 app update to 13.4.1, which was meant to rectify the issue. According to the app screen the Beam still plays all my DTS blu rays as PCM Stereo despite the disc player’s audio setting being set to Auto rather than PCM. Any...
