Thanks DocG :-) I can see what you mean :-)

Thank you very much for the idea and I will definitely check it out. Not sure if the nanodigi will do this but I will go through the manual to find out. Cheers!

That would have been great but unfortunately the DSP settings I need to apply for the TV sound are detrimental for music. The miniDSP applies the same dsp settings to all inputs unfortunately. The Sonos Connect and Mini PC sound great without any dsp needed and this is why I do not feed them...

Complicated indeed :-( I am using the nanoDIGI 2x8 which essentially accepts the digital out from the TV. It outtputs digital coax which feeds my Rega Dac R

Following my posts last year (See thread: Audiophile amplifiers with tone controls... do they exist) and the helpful advice from you, I have been using a minidsp for TV duties alongside other sources: Sonos Connect and Min PC for Roon duties. Three sources in all. I acquired a miniDSP so that I...

Hello Friends, Any opinions and / or experiences on the Lyngdorf TDAI-2170? I have only recenly come across some reviews on it and it certainly reads as an impressive and clever bit of kit. Has anyone heard it / own it? If so what do you think of it? Cheers

Thank you David, I agree, no need for anyting above 5/6m. A 5m cable length is actually ideal in order to use a pair of stands and hide cables.

Exciting stuff about the KEFs :-). However, that 3m ethernet cable is short in my opinion. Does anyone know if longer (properly shielded) ethernet lengths can be used without any loss in SQ? If one uses stands with cable management then I image a 5m length would be needed. Just wondering if...

I have recently downsized my second system and looking to purchase an amplifier to drive a pair of Dynaudio emit M10 or Excite X14 (future upgrade). Will the new Brio be capable to drive these comfortably? My living room is about 300 sq ft, listening position about 9.8 ft away and I tend to...

Just an update to let you know I solved the problem :-) Followed your advice and obtained a minidsp (digital) unit which sits between my tv (optical) and the amplfier. Problem solved :-) Many thanks

to all for the great ideas and help. Overall conclusion appears to be that I need either an external EQ / Compressor like the Behringer or a PC / Mac / Stremer box running some kind of software EQ or even better a Room correction solution like DIRAC. The good news is I might end up keeping my...

Ah ok, I see now. Either way, the ATV4 setting resulted in quite a bad sound overall. Indeed the streaming option is preferable for me as a Iave a large database with purchased movies and series so a streaming box or a fully fledged HTPC / Macmini would be needed. Considering that an amp with...

David, my experience with Apple TV4's audio compression echoes yours. The 'reduce loud sounds' option in the Apple TV4 audio settings resulted in a very strange sound. Voices were a bit more clear but a lot of ambient information was lost. What was worse, some low voices were totally lost. When...

Thank you all for the great ideas and help. From all the above I can so far conclude that tone controls are likely not going to solve my problem assuming that I stick with a stereo setup for movies. I understand that I should either find a way to employ compression (e.g. via VLC or KODI) or find...

David, many thanks for great idea. I thing you are probably very right and that tone controls will not be enough to adress my problem. Maybe a full home theatre PC / Mac Mini can be used with PEQ installed? I know DIRAC can even be used with that solution. Is it perhaps a cleaner / neater...
