So far, I've plugged in my HTPC to try out the HDMI input - sounds great off the AMD A10-5800K "Trinity" computer for both music and movies nicely detailed and dynamic. However, 3D movies have not taken the world by storm so I'm not betting on this to fuel sales :-).

One area I can see 4K could be beneficial to smaller screens is in synergy with passive 3D giving a full 1080P image per eye without the drawbacks of active 3D glasses (I've been using a 55" LG passive 3D TV now for 2 years so can attest to the resolution limitations). It's also unclear whether current Blu-Ray players can read these >2 layer disks even if they can be read, I suspect the players might need H.265/HEVC decoding which likely means brand new hardware. A new Blu-Ray standard needs to be formalized (see recent news about 100GB 3-layer BD).

Also, there's currently precious little media out (the Sony XBR TV I saw comes with a Sony PC loaded with some sample material). The 4K image improvements can clearly be demonstrated (go have a look at a 4K TV near you), but other than videophiles and those with >60" screens, it's going to be hard to justify the improvement for most TV sizes, at most viewing distances.
I wonder if the consumer digital video world will play out like audio - 1080P becomes like the "CD standard" and 4K takes the role of SACD/DVD-A/hi-res downloads. Speaking of the future, 4K video is on the horizon though its mainstream commercial appeal is far from clear. I suspect that as the technology continues to mature in the future, we will see stabilization of feature set and the need for upgrades will diminish for most end users if this has not already started. minute differences between digital filters, the home theater domain brings with it more features than most music lovers would likely care to know. Compared to the stereo audiophile world where we argue about the audibility of PCM vs. In any case, it looks like the newer 2013 generation has Audyssey MultEQ XT32 (note the extra "32" more and higher resolution room EQ control), built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, AirPlay, and 4K passthrough - cool but not essential for my purposes. This model has since been superseded by the TX-NR929 (I would have thought the TX-NR1010 would have filled this role based on model number but the NR1010 actually has 7 amplifier channels, rather, the TX-NR3010 is the higher end model with 9 channels).

It's "THX Select2 Plus" certified, capable of 9.2 surround, has 9 amplifier channels (potential for passive biamping the front speakers), all the usual digital sound decoding capabilities from Dolby and DTS along with 7.1 LPCM from HDMI up to 24/192, Audyssey MultEQ XT and the capabilities of HDMI 1.4 for video (3D, 4K upscaling). Now this specific model was released a couple years ago - it came out in mid-2011. I doubt I'd ever touch composite, S-Video, and component analogue inputs again! Fortuitously, a minty 1.5 year old ONKYO TX-NR1009 was available at an excellent price! The reviews ( here and here) were good and the features and build looked fantastic so I decided to plunk down some cash for this baby:Ī multitude of I/O ports and connectors.

Two options: either get a new surround processor like the Emotiva UMC-200 and use the external inputs of the Denon AVR-3802 for amplification purposes, or just upgrade the receiver to something (much) more modern since the AVR-3802 was bought at a time before adoption of HDMI (way back in 2002!).Īfter much humming and hawing, I decided to have a look at the used market locally. There is only one reasonable and relatively inexpensive way at this time - embrace the HDMI interface. Furthermore, I want to finally be able to play multichannel FLAC files created from DVD-A and SACD rips, of which I probably have about 100 albums archived away on my music server waiting for the day I can get a decent multichannel DAC (the recent USB exaSound e28 looks interesting). I refuse to be deprived of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio (MA) in the new home theater / sound room! These are of course the "new" (DTS-HD MA announced back in 2004, TrueHD in 2005) lossless surround formats available on Blu-rays. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend everyone! Sadly we don't have the same "Black Friday" deals you lucky Americans enjoy :-).
