    Can you play mp4 or blu-ray files? Probably not on Marantz.

    Connect it to switch, router, PC, laptop, RPi and check connection status. I wouldn't expect anything other than 100Mbit. Audio doesn't...

    It could be about 5W per channel. Probably half of that, it is in 4 Ohm mode or eco auto with low volume.

    IMO it is source like Blu-ray or TV box, which turn TV on with CEC command. Denon AVR is not helpful.

    I have tested curves for different reference level. I have used 85dB, 80dB and 75dB. It turned out, that curves are quite similar. Not...

    Can't you set variable output level on TV? Should be possible, if TV outputs PCM over optical. Not the best solution, but usable.

    In most cases 8 Ohm and Eco - Auto should give you both: high power when needed and low heating (longer MTBF) when playing quietly.

    Tidal on GTV plays Atmos gapless. Or I can't hear any gaps on Eric Clapton live. Tidal on Android is using pass-through, I guess that...

    I would gladly test, but I don't own Apple TV and I can't see any alternative.

    I have tried Tidal, because I was interested in Atmos. The only way I can play multichannel from Tidal is to use Tidal app on Google TV...

    Pioneer has 9 bands EQ. This can be used for loudness, but I don't know how precise are EQ settings. Assuming that we set Dirac for flat...

    Yes, that's the idea. I don't know if Harman slope should change with volume, I think we can experiment a bit.

    I have replaced my Yamaha AVR with Pioneer. While Yamaha does its room correction automatically, Dirac Live expect users to provide...

    popej replied to the thread Harman Curve for the Low End.
    Problem is, that my hearing adapts to curve and I can use many variants. That is why I look for some advice how to design a target...
