With a push of a button it’s the 2.1 part of my 7.1.4 Atmos system I can use for both movies and music. Eversolo now streams my ripped 5.1 library replacing my oppo.
Now that's a good idea, I need to checkout the Eversolo.
Do NOT Blow Your Entire Budget on Two Channel Audio
Yes, two channel audio is here, and is not going away. However, object based audio is delightful, widely available on Tidal and Apple Music, and should be in the listening room of every music lover on the planet, not just "audiophiles. If you plan to be a music fan a year from now start building your object based audio system today. You will need:
1) A receiver/processor capable of Dolby Atmos.
2) A subscription to Tidal or Apple music.
3) A Firestick, ATV, or Nvidia Shield.
4) A minimum of 7 timber matched speakers and a subwoofer.
Once you experienced stereo would you ever go back to only mono? No, you would build a system capable of either mono or stereo. Now that object based audio has arrived do the same thing. Build a system capable of mono, stereo, AND object based audio. When Elton John heard Rocket Man in an object based format for the first time why did he demand to convert his entire catalog to Atmos? If you don’t know, then you need to go listen to Rocket Man in a good Atmos setup ASAP.
So, take your budget, DIVERSIFY, and get a good Atmos capable receiver or processor. Object based audio is NOT last decades surround sound or home theater. It is for MUSIC first, if you need a recommendation on how to allocate your budget feel free to post a question. Most importantly, you don’t NEED two systems, one for music and one for movies. A good object based audio system can play two channel music just fine. A two channel system on the other hand can’t play object based audio without a proper processor or receiver.

The is no receiver even close imo vs a good dedicated 2 channel integrated amp or separates. I have not auditioned a flagship receiver and use a processor. I have a good two channel preamp/DAC in my system and can pivot to a pure two channel system. I get your comment though and the prices reflect that. A good 2 ch integrated from Anthem is around $5K and their 7 channel receivers are around $3K, that extra $2K is buying you something :). |
@kota1 sad but Auro went under a few months back. Plenty of good Atmos out there in Blu-ray and streaming. And the Eversolo works great streaming my 60+ multi channel SACD/DVDA and few DTS CDs I ripped. I just plugged in a 1TB drive in back and use their software. Roon works too but seems to push the core to its limits. Even dorect connected some SACDs seem to push the limits. the CR-1 was one of my best investments. It really lets me get the most out of two systems that happen to share 2.1 speakers. And it’s a great sounding xover I will add for a two channel system. |
The quarrel between " 70 years old audiophile" as i am with my stereo and so called younger multichannel upmixer users is LUDICROUS...
Be it stereo or multichannel users , the only factor that matter NOW is : do you have the BACCH filters or not ? Because the only question that matter for 2 channel users and multichannels users is : Is your TIMBRE perception good in your system and how about spatial localisation ? Two channels or more , the only thing that will improve sound experience to the TOP is the Choueiri invention ....Then why quarrelling ? Psycho-acoustic is not a fad or a marketing ploy it is pure science...
Then stop arguing in completely outdate debate about 2 channels or more... I cannot paste the whole page here read why : https://www.theoretica.us/bacch-dsp/ I will not need more than my headphone if i bought BACCH filters ... HUGELY BETTER LOCALIZATION IN SPACE FOR STEREO USERS Those with multichannels will enjoy it more...BETTER TIMBRE EXPERIENCE FOR THEM WITH NO DEGRADATION ... There is no quarrel , only ignorance as usual ... 😁😊
