I tried it today and the results are fantastic. Best calibration in a long time for me. Sounds as good or better than Dirac Live to my ears.

You applied all three upgrades?

It looks like a previous user moved things around a bit - I just reorganized the files and locked down access to view only - see if that works for you (new link below) - if not let me know and I will tweak the folder some more. The step by step pdfs should now be visible. Optoma probably...

Hard to tell. Maybe some creative searching in the waybackmachine site could lead to the now gone Optoma firmware download page to check the file names and comp[are them to what I have. The filenames do not mention the UHD50X, so doubtful.

Great review - having listened to these JTRs myself I find that all your comments resonate with my own experience. At least for me, speaker reviews gain a lot of texture when comparisons like the above are added (I recognize that a reviewer may not be able to overlap the eq under review with...

i have the firmware upgrade files, please PM me if still needing them... Edit - check my original posting, I added a link there....

That sucks. I must have the files stored away somewhere in my NAS, will dig for them. The firmware definitely fixed the half screen issue for me.

I had to force it off to get it out of the half-screen craziness. The firmware update fixed everything - worth it! If you are hesitant to take it on you can always send the unit back to Optoma for them to do it - they charge $200 for it. The intent of my post was to try to remove the...

Vaulted ceilings *absolutely* help, IMO, from a standing wave (null) mgt as well as dispersion.

It should work fine, just strap the terminals together with the center channel output fo your Denon. Bi-amping does not really add much unless you remove the passive crossover and throw in something like a miniDSP 2x4 HD and more amps - have run that experiment many times.

I also owned those barndoors (my endearing term for them) for several years and cannot tell you how many REW sweeps I did of them in search of perfection. The results you are getting there are very decent - you may want to say thank you to the shape and size of your room! Are you running the...

Or just replace the driver in the passive with an equivalent (preferably one with higher power handling).

A brief update on my journey to solve this problem in case anyone else in the forum is going through it. After 18 months of satisfying ownership, my UHD 50 started to randomly go into a half-horizontal screen as follows: This happened most often when I stopped a movie in Plex to go back to...

I still play (and record) on good old original cassette tape, have three decks that I rotate around the system to keep them all going (all 80s-era Nakamichis). To my ears, there is something special about the sound of a properly recorded tape that I can't let go of. And don't get me started...

There are some great YT channels for 24 bit audio music that sound very good over a decent DAC, which took me by surprise. Many of them from audiophiles based in Vietnam. Here's an example: Audiophile Music 24 Bit
