RE: Kodi Media Player Options with Full 3D & HD Audio - movie78 - 2016-01-30 And also the Android VR version. RE: Kodi Media Player Options with Full 3D & HD Audio - dukester - 2016-01-30 (2016-01-29, 23:26)hdmkv Wrote: Guys, if you haven't watched 'The Walk' in 3D yet, watch it! Seeing title screenshots above reminded me. Totally agree, this movie was so good in 3D it was hard for me to watch some parts as im not a big fan of heights but all i can say is its intense and you might get sweaty palms at points during the movie.

I have the feeling the old one will sound better. My 1970s NAD (sadly not functioning anymore) sounded wonderful. How about http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJFCN76?psc=1 or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01482COWW?psc=1 or something like that? No need to worry about any driver issues or whatever. RE: Kodi Media Player Options with Full 3D & HD Audio - hdmkv - 2016-01-30 Latter one looks promising... but, I hear ya. Some of the older AVR's are better on audio quality w/some newer ones more focused on frills.

If sound quality is that important to you then you wouldn't be looking for a way to get optical lossy audio in the first place. Spend a few extra weeks at the second job and you can have a new $1500 receiver that will sound "better". RE: Kodi Media Player Options with Full 3D & HD Audio - nickr - 2016-01-30 And then read the reviews and tests that say the average person can't tell the difference...

[/quote] That second one does sound good. Had a good look at reviews -- do you think this would sit between pi and tv to send off the 5.1 audio to decoder ... or connect straight to tv and then put this device between tv and decoder? Seems to be a suggestion in one of the reviews at least that by using a hdmi arc port out from the tv that anything connected to the tv can effectively have the 5.1 passed through, when normally the tv blocks it for its own optical out...

In theory either should work, but passthrough on ARC channel may or may not work (depends on TV). Connecting between Pi and TV should be fine, but no harm in trying it both ways. RE: Kodi Media Player Options with Full 3D & HD Audio - noggin - 2016-01-30 ARC may only carry DD and not DTS in some implementation ISTR?

Thanks RE: Kodi Media Player Options with Full 3D & HD Audio - Dave the Minion - 2016-02-01 Why did you quote the massive OP to ask a 1 line question?

If you want to spend $1500, it would be better to build a proper PC as HTPC. That will be able to play everything, and it will have SPDIF. Absolutely not necessary to buy a new receiver. There are no real benefits. You won't hear the difference between DTS or AC3 and whatever uncompressed format you'd be able to use, unless you have a hearing defect that lets you hear compression artifacts. Normal people though, even audiophiles with high end systems? Nope.

Or, disable & press 'Menu' button during playback to enable/select the sub track you want. What I meant by HiMedia not supporting forced subs is that with something like 'Avatar', the disc doesn't have a separate PGS track for just the Na'vi parts. It's embedded & marked as forced within the full English subs. HiMedia ignores this flag & will display the full English subs throughout the movie, not just the Na'vi parts.

Zidoo x6 is a piece of junk, the 23.976 "skipping" is too much to handle. Love my PCH A400 but it's got it's problems as well.

The question has nothing to do with 3D players with full HD audio. Quite the opposite in fact. |
