That’s interesting. I’d like to hear that.

I have to confess that I’ve never got on with DTS-X, what it does with the front 3 speakers just does not suit me in my room, with my kit. With this thread I’ve tried it again but still not keen.

Auro 2/3D is more appealing and I quite like it, there is a significant volume change when you toggle between Auro and other DSPs, properly 3dB. There is a bass uplift too, reminds me of the ‘loundness’ option on some amps of the past. So that can be quite pleasing at moderate levels but overall I’ve found I’ve had to adjust my bass settings, in my case turning the subs down.

I imagine the Trinnov / Storm processors have many options to configure settings per DSP offered, like Meridian processors. That’s properly my one frustration of the Marantz I use as you just don’t have that same level of tweaking available.

After all this talk I might have to rig up my 568 and remind myself of Trifield!
