So it's a little slow to come out of standby, but somehow it seems to cache the IR commands so works perfectly every time, ie power on, input Apple TV, commands issued, takes 10 seconds to complete, but works every time.

I was playing with Aura 2D v Dolby Upmix modes, Dolby Upmix has a wider soundstage but I don't like the surround channels and lots of sub even though my fronts are full range.

The voicings are also a mystery, I couldn't hear much difference.

861v6, Oppo83 (3xSpdif Mod), Wiim Ultra running Squeezelite, Tivo Edge, Apple TV v4 with Key Digtial Audio Extractor, Von Schweikert fronts and center, Triad in ceiling sides and rears, Aerial SW12, Orchard Audio Starkrimson 3 channel and Sunfire Cinema Grand amps
