It is SPECULATED that this RZ30 suffers from the same "1 off crossover grouping" coding error in DLBM as exists currently in the RZ50/DRX5.4 latest firmware from end of last month. There are NO confirmations from RZ30 owners as there are very few online reviews/feedback (no doubt due to cheaply available and more powerful RZ50/DRX5.4 units that just got the DLBM/DLBC function)!

Request made by Greg Rogers (industry insider and RZ50 owner) to an RZ30 owner:

"Many of us are anxious to know if the RZ30 has the same DLBM (and therefore likely DLBC) bug as the RZ50. In fact, if it does, it may help get Dirac and Onkyo to move faster to fix it (I continue to exchange emails with them, but I can't test an RZ30).

So when you get time please test the RZ30 so we will know if it too has the DLBM bug (that doesn't require you to have DLBC). Thanks!"

So you speculated from another person that was speculating as well

I especially love the " many of us" when there seems to be one

Dude, you obviously haven't been tracking the latest activity on the thread but "us" means more than one AVS member!

My point is that was a speculation statement....and you just speculated that it was indeed a thing..LOL

Do you really not see the difference?

Which is why I anticipated this conversation and put SPECULATED in all caps in my initial post. Did you not see that?

As I said just speculation is all it is at this point.
Just like your statement about the Voxx/Pioneer situation

LOL..you dont recall what you posted about the Pioneer/Voxx situation?

Hmm....seriously
Or are you back pedaling from your speculation?

And you did state that you always brought receipts...correct?

Quote from turnne :
Perhaps that why Masimo separated the companies..or so they made a statement to that effect about profitability

https://www.medtechdive.com/news/...ff/711239/ [medtechdive.com]

One could speculate on the future on their consumer audio line up

" writing on the wall"..to use your words...

Old news and doesn't explain why Pioneer is becoming the "bastard child". I expect Pioneer to be sold off separately from Voxx to someone who could possibly restore some honor to the "Elite" branding. I still have a DV59 "universal player" and Elite Plasma TV (before Kuro) that were fighting for top spots in the industry back in the day. Pioneer is currently a shadow of its former self!
"



Nothing is bothering me..Its funny that you stated that you always bring receipts...Wink
Here is one statement( above)..you offered more " speculation" points in that same thread

Note that I posted the entire statement as not to frame something out of context

" Some people" seem to like to do that

The top portion about Masimo isn't even my quote!

Addressing the Pioneer part, this was reported Oct 13 by Channelnews.com:

"Premium Audio Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary, of Vox International has sold off its Jamo and Energy brands has also stopped manufacturing Pioneer, Elite, and Esoteric audio products with sales halted globally."
https://www.channelnews.com.au/vo...eer-brand/

I'm pretty sure I said what I said about Pioneer after Oct 13, 2024 (the news about the dropped Pioneer license wasn't widely spread until recently)!

We good?
