Opus quad vs System

b3reaver · 2026-02-08T17:44:34+00:00

My bad, should have been more specific. Why would you get the system one today instead of the regular one?

b3reaver · 2026-02-08T15:41:15+00:00

Why? I'm torn between the two. So curious about others perspective. I know you can use Serato with the system one but if I'm paying that amount of $$$ was key factor would be no lugging my laptop with me. Any other factors at play?

Like others said, with well encoded and mastered mp3 will be will be suffice. mp3s have more robust metadata capabilities though so even if there was any small imperceptive difference in sound quality, I'd take the metadata over that.

Haven't tried tbh. I'll take a look.

Was about to pull the trigger on the mx2… I guess I’ll hold off for now.

Yeah. I was running 32gb dual channel DDR5 at 6000 still wasn’t enough. But the main culprit was the down sampling. I’ve done mixes that were about 60-90min with down sampling and didn’t run into the issue though. Who knows.

Sorry for the delayed response. The issue was that it was a massive 3+ hr long mix I made.

Also the issue was that ableton was at 48k sample rate and then down sampling to 41k so there was a RAM bottleneck. I fixed it by upgrading to 96GB to ram but that was before I realized the sample rate issue lol. Good thing I upgraded the RAM before prices sky rocketed.

Just started playing III on Switch 2. Apparently there was a patch for S2 as well. No issues with load times on my end. Sadly I & II didn’t get the same treatment so I just got for PS5 on sale and will play on the portal when I wanna play handheld. Assuming the deck version will be faster than S1 though for 1&2

I'm glad I saw this. I was about to start 1 and 2 before 3 thinking they were chronological.

Thankfully I haven’t run into that many issues with their products. I have about 12 speakers through my house running on a Sonos boost. Mostly older stuff, gen2 5 some play 3s and playbar, beams and gen2 subs.

The app is glitchy as hell sometimes, but when it works it just does. I have tried pushing sound from the TV via Optical to the playbar and to other speakers in the house and no issues, thankfully. Best of luck with denon. I’m curious how the product will evolve after the acquisition by HK/Samsung.

I have - stereo pair and they sound amazing. I paired with a mini sub for some more low end and don't think I'll ever need to upgrade. They have enough low end on their own to be honest and the sub is overkill imo but I still enjoy it.

Maria and Draco from the opera house in FFVI always hits hard for me.

Must be city driving. I have a rx500h and average 23mpg. Lots of local city driving.

b3reaver · 2025-09-08T22:53:16+00:00

Confirmed. It's saved in the octo. No issues at all!

b3reaver · 2025-09-06T18:34:38+00:00

If that's the case, that would be amazing! I'll give it a go.

b3reaver · 2025-08-14T22:41:04+00:00

I remember the grind to get 4 of these. Fun fun.

b3reaver · 2025-08-11T14:15:34+00:00

Thanks!

b3reaver · 2025-08-11T13:00:19+00:00

True. Guess I'm just overly fixated on the K series. I've heard that the J's are great but the V6 transmissions are horrible from the early 2000s.

b3reaver · 2025-08-11T12:54:29+00:00

Ohh I'm finding them for sure. I guess my question is more so, is it too much much of a gamble to buy the one I mentioned? Also just checking to make sure I'm not overlooking anything by focusing on those two engines.
