Oct 9, 2020 · Great tip! Enjoying 2-channel music surround using Auro-2D as compared to Dolby Audio. Did an A/B comparison between "Direct" mode and Auro-2D. Auro 2D was much truer to the PCM or FLAC signal compared to Dolby Audio. Thanks for drawn my attention. FYI: Using a Marantz AV7705 with Outlaw Audio Amps.

Dec 6, 2021 · Auro-3D processing seems equivalent to the best Atmos mixes There are several online blurbs about people's experience with Auro-3D. FI We watched a DTS Master Audio movie last night. This is is one of my favorite "native" mixes. For fun, I toggled back and forth between upmixers. They all sounded pretty good, but none better than Auro-3D.

Sep 24, 2022 · Auro 2D would still work with an upfiring Atmos layout but those speakers would be ignored. Weirdly enough, there are a few models from Denon and Marantz that will let you apply Auro3D to a layout with upfiring Atmos speakers.

Aug 30, 2021 · Auro 3D was first introduced on Denon/Marantz AVRs in 2014 and as others have noted, hasn't really taken hold in the USA. Until recently, Denon/Marantz was the only major brand AVR mfr that featured Auro 3D; however, the new 2021 Yamaha Aventage models (A6A and A8A) are scheduled to receive an Auro 3D firmware update at some point in the future.

Jul 1, 2007 · I was switching back and forth between Auro 2D and Auro 3D tonight and really couldn't tell a difference. Some tracks sounded awesome, but some were a little too boomy, so I feel like the reports of Auro adding bass are accurate. The tracks that sounded too boomy sounded better with DS or Neural X btw. So it continues...

Jun 12, 2018 · Indeed, Auro-3D is channel based in all configurations up to Auro 13.1 (the rest of Auro-3D configurations are: Auro 8.0 (no center, no LFE), Auro 9.1 and Auro 11.1. Auro-3D becomes object based only on larger configurations (called AuroMax) but it only makes sense if at least 20 individual amplified speakers (like AuroMax 22.1 or 26.1) are ...

Jan 14, 2015 · Auro also point out that whilst they can use object-based mixes in their system, the channel-based approach makes more sense. They are quick to point out that Atmos is essentially a channel-based system in the home and that Dolby appear to be moving their overhead speakers towards the sides in an effort to emulate Auro3D's height channels.

Oct 11, 2000 · The 2nd best option for upmixing available on the Marantz, is Auro 2D....NOT Auro 3D because 2D does not activate the height channels. Auro 2D works ok, but the steering of the centre channel is not as good as the old Dolby ProLogic IIx algorithm. Please AV Amplifier manufacturers...bring back Dolby ProLogic IIx.

Sep 1, 2022 · I purchased a Denon X6700H this summer and was interested to hear Auro 2D after reading rave reviews about it for music for quite a few years. I wondered before I even heard it if it was something as simple as increasing the bass levels, because generally speaking people like more bass. And...

Oct 12, 2007 · In a smaller room, it'll be less of an issue period. The type of speakers may effect things as well (how well they phantom image, off-axis response, etc.). Auro-3D 8.1 is really more of a dual-layer modern "Quad" format with a center channel thrown in at 9.1 (top surround and/or center height added at 10.1 & 11.1).
