Awesome! I probably should have looked at the first page of the thread lol
It's interesting, Charlie at DM Motors/Sound tested the B&O in two different Audi's using 5.1 FLAC files. They both passed the 5-channel test but had a weird problem with the LFE subwoofer channel. You can see the review here.Have you determined whether it's just reading the FL/FR from the 5.1 FLAC or can you create a 5.1 FLAC with 10 seconds material in each channel one at a time and hear it circle around the car properly?
Great.2017 Audi A4 with Bang & Olufsen MMI system - plays FLAC files off of SD/USB. Supports 2.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1.
The Atmos mixes (ripped from BluRay) of PG's i/o, SW's THC, and PJ's DM all sound great in 7.1 from the driver's seat. The heights are treated as sides.
4.0 does not work correctly - seems like it treats the file as a 3.1. Easily worked around in Audacity by putting in a silent front center channel to make the file a 5.0.
Great.
I am not sure what all your abbreviations mean, PJ's and DM (Downmix).
Anyway I find interesting.
Your Audi plays 7.1?
I built a 5.1 in my car (2021 Dodge Challenger), sounds fantastic, but I have to reformat a lot of titles. I have yet to try an Atmos recording to see how it sounds in my 5.1.
My multichannel 4.0 and 5.1 SACD's I reformat to 24bit/44.1Khz, seems to be best.
The stereo SACD's I do not need to reformat as long as they are no larger than DSD64.
I use a Cambridge CXU Universal Player as the source with a AC/DC convertor for power.
My player on my PC is JRiver and there is a function called Convert Format, super simple and fast, and you do not lose the original file.
