streaming my massive collection of live Grateful Dead bootlegs and official releases
Roku has no internal video controls
Poor Quality / Poor Customer Service
Firmware updates are over USB only
lack of video processing seems like a problem
MRX lacking lacking Apply AirPlay is a huge omission
It could have easily fallen to sonic mush on a lesser receiver
No additional juicing of the levels was required
sound would be coming from roughly the Dolby prescribed angles
mid-price AVR amplifier and AV Processors
absurdly long
ponderous
steaming hot load of poo
No video snow
dropouts or any weird audio codec clicks
did not have an active ARC calibration system
There s no option to download firmware from the Internet
it is poor
ARC was an expensive separate upgrade kit
Jitter performance was worse for HDMI input
it is situated a bit more at the front
the Anthem interface is not exactly exciting
This is also not a brand new receiver from Anthem
You never have to search long in the Anthem interface
soft ticking of a clock that can sometimes be heard in the distance
Amps and dacs are too cheap to mention
noise-shaping to push noise from audible band to ultrasonic
much higher noise floor and produces poor results
quiet of the forest is shattered by the apes hunting
there are no composite or component video inputs or outputs
It may not display this or other websites correctly
The system could go very loud without becoming brittle or harsh
Play-Fi does not compress audio
home cinema system
there's no way to capture the distance of the microphone in relation to the loudspeakers
no in-built network file playback or integrated music services
no option to download firmware from the internet
