From what I’ve heard, the HEOS chip on the Denon board can’t do multichannel anyway.
Remark:
For me personally, this is completely irrelevant, as my preferred music is not available as multichannel anyway and I have always found multichannel music in screenings to be unnatural.
Besides, you would have to equip all channels with the same speakers as the main channels and that would be almost unaffordable in my case.
I like watching movies with multichannel sound, but I certainly don’t listen to music with it.
Yep, heard of it. It’s a pity. Though, most AVRs should be able to handle this via HDMI.
Don’t quite get your point. In case you own e.g. 5.1 speakers for HT you can use these for multichannel music.
Qobuz e.g. added DSD into their download store, some months ago. MC SACDs can sound great. Sure, all not mainstream but enjoy it pretty much.
Unfortunately mine still only sees my Denon X3800H through AirPlay. Verified I have the latest firmware in my X3800H and on my Roon core. Called Denon tech support and the tech had no clue about Roon. Surprisingly Crutchfield wasn’t much better.
Power cycled the x3800H. Everything is wired Ethernet on the same network segment. Roon is running on a Linux server.
Interesting. My x4800h has just updated and I immediately tested it. Everything working well so far, except for the display… which is blank. Heos app knows what track is playing. So the Denon should too.
Multi-zone is as was expected, in the sense that it doesn’t show any (but Ican use the heos app or denon controller to output the same source to other zones)
