betty boop Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 http://www.whathifi.com/news/yamaha-unveils-flagship-cx-a5100-surround-sound-processor for the yamaha fans a replacement for the 5000 unit, http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/aventage/cx-a5100_black_u/ one interesting aspect is the 64 bit processing on EQ which is quite a step forward than most other units on the market, however apparently still limited in bass eq with only being able to do with 4 bands 31 hz - 250hz. in anycase good to see yamaha keeping its flagship at the forefront 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemnoc Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Yes I just saw a preview on Audioholics. http://www.audioholics.com/av-preamp-processor-reviews/yamaha-aventage-cx-a5100-preamp-processor-preview I like this feature which solves the speaker placement setup issue for Atmos and DTS:X. Because Yamaha’s new flagship is the company’s first pre-pro to support both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio, it comes with a 3D, multipoint and angle measurement microphone to identify the distance and angle of each speaker and handle all the necessary adjustments automatically. cheers Edited September 11, 2015 by lemnoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemnoc Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 But you still need to report the speaker location to DTS:X otherwise it doesn't know how to map it cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
