Popular Post jrobbins50 Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 Sounds great, Chris! I don’t know what you could put together for the system that would have the potential to sound any better. As one point of comparison for DD+ lossy Atmos, I have an Apple TV4K which is HDMI connected to my Marantz AV-8802A processor. This plays Apple Music, of course. I’ve utilized the Audyssey Pro measurement kit to optimize DSP as best I can with the limited processing power in the pre/pro. In comparison, I have a 2017 MacBook running Apple Music which I have looped the digital output into the Lynx AES16e sound card in my Windows server. This enables me to use HQPlayer to upscale the 24/48 content to DSD128, apply Audiolense convolution filters and use the recommended HQP lossy settings before outputting to my Okto dac8pro. No question, the routing through HQP and my DAC smokes the Apple TV4K through the Marantz. Much more spacious (pun intended) sound from top to bottom, even though lossy. I would expect the difference may be less for you with the Trinnov as your processor, but the proof will be in the outcome once you get it all set up. Fun to follow along.

jrobbins50 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 @El Guapo, @mitchcoI’m using a UMIK-2 nowadays, which is definitely more reliable than my old UMIK-1. Any reason to think the Earthworks M30 would yield any different results using Audiolense XO? JCR Link to comment
jrobbins50 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks, @mitchco. I can do that test. So, it is unclear to me where an M30 gets plugged into, if not USB. Put another way, how does the microphone output signal make its way into the server with Audiolense running on it? I guess the things I have around are my Okto dac8pro and a couple of Lynx AES16e cards in my server. JCR Link to comment
jrobbins50 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Thanks, @El Guapo. 48V won’t come through any input source I have, so I will need to stick with my UMIK-2 with 5V USB power. :) JCR Link to comment
