wow .... it is painfully obvious that you have never heard a properly setup Atmos system .... with the right source material 7.1.4 Atmos is the most incredible amazing surround experience that i have ever heard the Dolby Atmos demonstration disc is also the best recording that i have ever...

@ majorfubar what i posted is what itunes looked like when i stopped using it .... so it was always on a hiding to nothing as far as i am concerned as for the cover art bit you have to use AAC or mp3 for the art to embed and those are lossy codecs and while i realise that ALAC can also be used...

i was going to talk about the microserver as well .... it could serve as a NAS as well as a front end combined if you use it with an operating sstem installed - i have three gen7 microservers with Win 7 instlled then i have upgraded the amount of ram as well as added graphics cards in each...

the first one is "Darkone V4.0 by Tedgo" and the second one is called "Xch4nge by Brett" both can be found over at deviant art or you can do a google search for them - the second one also has a video on youtube that helps you to install it .... it starts off just as a simple rectangle but you...

1) Atmos has nothing to do with DTS-HD, (im stating this because of what you said in the post prior to the one i quoted) what you need is something that can bitstream Dolby TrueHD 2) as long as the CPU can play HD video its fine, since the CPU or even your graphics card will not be decoding...

i also have replaced my CD player with PC playback .... and at first i was using itunes but the issue with itunes is that you can only use mp3, AAC and WAV ie you cannot use FLAC and since im using a 50" TV as my PC monitor i had to decide between these interfaces ie THIS = itunes with WAV...

If you dont want to spend money on Jriver you can use Foobar2000 which is downloadable for free and if you use it with a skin it becomes perfectly usable .... i use Darkone v4.0 by tedgo from deviant art (google will help you find it pretty easily). If the forum allows me to post a link to...

why would you say you cannot run cables to your rears IMHO you can run cables in any room - just find some good trunking that you can mount on the walls and these will hide any cables - i have loads of this stuff running around all over the place and it hides my ethernet wires and also all the...

If you can't find a Universal windows Graphic equaliser then use Foobar 2000 since it comes with a 20 band equalizer built-in into the software and you can add a 32 band graphic equalizer component if you want more control as a plugin Foobar does look a lot better if you skin it though so if...

i reckon it can be done if you purchase an AVR that has pre-outs ..... you connect the PC as normal to the M51 then you connect the pre-outs on the M51 to the CD inputs on the AVR ...... then you connect the Rotel amplifier to the front preouts of the AVR - so basically you are just adding one...

as stated above AFD auto is to leave the audio settings exactly as thye were encoded without any change and PCM makes the source do the decoding and the AVR just plays that ..... but if you have it set to bitstream then the audio passes through to the AVR and the DAC in the AVR does the decoding...

thank you, and about those N54L microservers .... yes they are extremely versatile machines and i am glad you are enjoying yours as well

This is all to do with room acoustics, there are spots in your room which will result in a null (possibly becase of standing waves) whereas at a different spot in your room the same frequency could be at a peak which is what room treatment ie bass traps and diffusers etc are all about. What you...

Thank you, and yes sir 7.1 for now, but i intend to add some ceiling speakers at a later stage and go 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos, and obviously I will have to upgrade the AV reciever as well in order to that. I will get to all of that when more Atmos content is available. It works pretty decently well...
