I am in love with the XMC-1, hopefully I will be purchasing one to drive my Denon 5803a through M-direct 7 channel analog. I have a OPPO UDP-203 for a source; question should I be concerned about DiRac down sampling, and next question I notice that BasX Pre/pro support HDR-10 which my Samsung 65ks9500 supports, does the XMC-1 support HDR-10.
Thanks

Thanks Not currently. It supports protected 4k with it's HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 but lacks HDMI 2.0a for HDR-10. There is an upgrade board in the works that should be here hopefully 2nd qtr this year. |

Isn't it comforting to know that every little change (or enhancement) in technology doesn't have to automatically result with the disposal of a processor that you're otherwise perfectly happy with...  As to Dirac's 48K sampling frequency, I don't find any issue with movie soundtracks or standard "redbook" 2 channel audio. For "hi-rez" 2 channel audio (music) where downsampling isn't necessarily ideal, or where the source material is noticeably degraded, I just use an input with a manual speaker set up (Speaker Preset 1). Or, you can simply switch the mode to "Direct" which bypasses Dirac, but maintains bass management. |
