You definitely don’t know your audio or you wouldn’t have made this statement.
PCM is pure/uncompressed audio so you’re getting the highest bit rate and no compression encoding/decoding whatsoever. It’s literally 1:1 raw unfiltered sound. How is a lossy and compressed audio format better than that?
This article sums it up perfectly.
You can choose between perfect uncompressed quality so PCM or immersion so Dolby Atmos.
Audiophiles obviously choose PCM. Because it’s perfect quality.
PCM may be the rawest form but it doesn’t have spatial capability. YET. DTS:X gets close, but it’s just not as accurate as Dolby Atmos. I refuse to sacrifice immersion for a smidge more audio quality. That just doesn’t make sense.
Well just because it doesn’t make sense to you, doesn’t mean everybody feels the same way. For some ppl regular 7.1 PCM is enough for now. For me it is and that is perfectly fine. There also is less audio delay, basicly none if you use PCM. But there is with atmos. Because it has to encode it on the fly.
Wrong. There’s something to be said about the audio surrounding you all around and above. PCM can’t do this so technically it is inferior.
For music and such that isn’t spatial, sure. Pointless otherwise.
Real audiophiles still listen to music with just stereo speakers with their oldschool record player listening to real LP’s, is their sound also inferiour, just because it’s not surround or atmos?
IMO surround headphones are complete BS, that doesn’t mean I will say it’s inferiour, everybody has his own taste, you should just accept that. You don’t know the fundamental truth, you can’t tell what is better or worse, it’s all just YOUR own opinion.
I listen to music with just stereo speakers. PCM. Movies and games, no. I will not sacrifice immersion for a smidge more audio quality.
Get out with this
I’ll just leave this here >> https://www.youtube.com/live/cnX4pVrxqq0
Yeah like I would watch a discussion that is four and a half hours long of ppl I never heard of, about a topic I know enough about.
If the top mixers at Capital can’t hear the quality difference on multi-million dollar studio rigs and you can, why are you not the world’s #1 audio engineer?! GO GET THAT MONEY!
Why do you think there’s Atmos mixes of music on Apple Music? C’mon already.
Alright lads, pipe down.
To each their own. Let’s leave it at that and enjoy our games how we want to enjoy them.
It seems you don’t want to understand that none of us is right. It’s like talking about climate change or covid or if god exists. Just accept that there is no fundamental truth.
PCM is perfect uncompressed sound
Atmos is excellent for immersion
And that’s it.
Because you wanted call me less of an audiophile because I didn’t buy into the PCM only and always nonsense.
Almost as bad as these fools out here preaching single turbo only on everything. So annoying.
Modersport? Sorry I cannot enjoy.
This sounds like a good place to ask this question. Why when I enable DA on Xbox and played through my soundbar is there a huge sound delay. I’ve searched forums YT etc, at this point I’m just assuming the soundbar is faulty. It’s a top end Samsung (in 2022) connected via eARC. Don’t have this problem on any other device
John from DF noticed this but his delay was in MS mines is in actual seconds
Playing on XsX and have tried changing the pass through settings
