You don´t loose anything notifying Nvidia about the issue. They might add a fix on their updates.

Aerogel and airtight seal plus a wall of fibrous plaster. Expensive, yes, but impressive. Voodooless commented on vacuum pannels, those are an incredible option too, equally expensive. With room to spare on the walls, rock wool or fiberglass would do the trick.

Passivhaus standard for building gets you absolutely insane results for insulation and energy use. It may be expensive, but considering the climbing price of energy, better now than in the future. Plus, with the thermal insulation, you typically get noise reduction. Some of the best sound...

As someone who has his PC plugged to an older Marantz AVR, and plays videogames in it, I´ll gladly add that Freesync on the AV20 is a quite notable feature.

Does electricity coming from nuclear reactors add extra distortion to music? Chances are my Godflesh records will get better! Does hydroelectric power get the sound flowing better? Try some Jean Michel Jarre! This article is based on "I heard this". Sorry, that can be easily countered by "I...

I´m not arguing for getting better results with a careful EQ of any device, my point is that the capacity to run Dirac is a premium that other companies do not have. Is it worth it? Well, that is up to the end user.

That was my hope and it makes a lot of sense. Short-range wifi should have way more than enough bandwidth to send sound, so adjusting delay is something well-implemented already in a lot of devices. Beyond those, plate amps like Hypex could add the wifi module with relative ease. The idea of...

Now they can relly justify it over a WiiM. Not that the WiiM is a bad device, not at all, but in this one, you get "high end" eq.

8 channels in the age of Atmos is still quite low. Hopefully they´ll push it to 15-16 (to include subwoofers, that is).

The Kii´s have a nice knob in their hub. That said, we have, again ,the issue of multichannel that your Marantz currently acomplishes.

Surronds are not that terrible, where it gets really tricky is for height speakers. For surrounds, there is always the option to hide the cables behind bookshelves (as you´d also do with passives). We have a pair of LS50 WII as daily drivers in our small living room. They are trully all terrain...

One of my fave "local" (they are Galician, even if I´m not) bands has released their new work. Worth to be listened to:

Aesthetics wise, a set matching Sarannas for multichannel is perhaps among the best options in the market. Chances are that something of that level can compete with mixing studios that have traditionally used Genelec, and since the SBS have, in fact, a presence in studios, probably the level is...

Emotiva hardly goes out of the American market. While I have seen some distributors over here, Marantz and Denon are a lot easier to get in Europe.

Blackwater Park and Orchid are absolutely amazing records. Their more recent stuff (from Heritage onwards) is completely forgeteable. Since I have a soft spot for very harsh Canadian Extreme Metal (Blasphemy, Panzerfaust, Conqueror, Death Worship...), for musicianship, few reach the levels of...
