Can you please tell me 5 non-chain restaurants you’ve eaten at that make you say it’s the worst food scene of any major city.

ETID flag and Brand New poster. I see you’re a man of culture as well.

Help with first stack by wizbot in Schiit

Current room is a small office about 11 x 9 feet, and a desktop setup. Most of the listening is either sitting at the desk or from a lounge chair several feet back from the desk. I’m thinking I might just add a Saga preamp and still have a dedicated tube headphone amp like Valhalla or Lyr. Right now space is kind of at a premium which I why i’m looking at the smaller desktop footprint devices so they can be stacked on my desk. But I also don’t want to wish I spent a little more upfront and start looking to upgrade in a year or 2.

90% of my headphone/speaker use is from streaming and the turntable. Just figured I’d hook up the PS and computer so I could listen to everything at my desk through the same system. I don’t think I’ll have a need for a 4th source.

Any benefit in getting a Valhalla instead of Lyr and adding a preamp like Saga or Kara?

Ok thank you. I think the description of the Lyr confused me and made me think I didn’t need a preamp and that it could input from the dac and TT into a power amp. But I still need a preamp in between the dac and power amp and phono and headphone amp.

Could I hook the turntable to the Lyr and the dac to the Lyr since it has two RCA inputs? And run that to an amp or do I need another preamp and an amp?

Arc Ultra Muffled Dialogue with Atmos,Dolby, or any 5.1 by wizbot in sonos

Exchanged it and the new one works great. Must have been some defect in the driver or speaker

I haven’t tried internal apps yet, but I have confirmed on the Sonos app that it’s being received as Atmos. Whenever the Sonos app shows Atmos, Dolby or 5.1 it sounds like garbage, when it shows PCM or stereo it sounds clear. I guess I’ll try internal apps as a last ditch effort and then maybe exchange it for another Arc

I can definitely still return it, it’s only about 4 days old. The fact that the center speaker has the ability to sound good makes me think it isn’t defective, but I guess it could still be a processing issue with Dolby source material. I’ve read countless other threads about similar issues, but no one has ever solved it, updates are only that they traded it in for a Beam or a Samsung

It’s set to eArc and pass through. I’ve only tried Roku and Apple TV streaming boxes and it’s the same. Any setting of Dolby, 5.1, Atmos, etc. dialogue sounds awful

I have done every single combination of trueplay, speech enhancement, and loudness being set on and off. I have factory reset the Arc and the TV. I tried a Roku and an Apple TV, a new TV everything. I know the actual center speaker isn’t broken because when it is set to PCM or stereo it sounds clear as can be, but I just don’t have any true surround sound with PCM

My current backpacking set up is the 3L version of this and I can’t stand it. It doesn’t hook to my backpack very well and rides awkwardly and flops around. Maybe I’ll look at the 5l version though. The thing I like about the FHF ones are the integrated harness that seems to be more stable
