Hi guys,

Have you done anything about channel routing on the Nanoavr DL or do you plan to do anything? It's kind of the only reason I'm hesitating about buying one. I believe you said it's still running on the DL but only accessible to developers? Could you preconfigure channel routing on the presets if I bought one?

Thanks

I think that maybe we're missing a refresh l here of what we're supposed to do here about the channel routing.
Please clarify and we'd be happy to answer.

The NanoAvr HD allows you to route the source channels to any or all of the output channels. For example, if I have a two channel source, I can upmix it to 7.1 in the NanoAVR before applying EQ. Unfortunately, the NanoAVR DL doesn't have this, so if it's 2 channel in, there is no way to upmix in the NanoAVR before applying Dirac. I think this is pretty limiting.

Oh yes, I see.. I'm afraid I've got to be honest that it's not on our giant todo/priority list to start creating a whole new plug-in for the nanoAVR DL..
From all the customers we have in the nanoAVR and the feedback we've actually seen/received, very few do upmixing.. The reason being that they'd want something else to do upmixing (i.e. phase control at crosspoints and etc)..2ch to 7.1 isn't a simple matrix, it's quite a lot more to make it work well.

Thank you for letting me know, at least I can plan accordingly. )

I'm sure majority of 7.1 owners want 5.1 > 7.1 upmix capability.
If I wanna do upmix on my AVR via Dolby ProLogic IIx, is this the correct way ? :
DiscPlayer (set to 5.1 LPCM) > nanoAVR (EQ just the LCR and sub) > AVR (engage DolbyPL-IIx to upmix the surrounds) > 7.1 audio
Or is there a better way?

EQ just the LCR and sub, leaving the left surround & right surround un-EQ <<< Is this even possible in nanoAVR? Is there anything like a checkbox which allows me to choose which channel I would like to EQ?

In answer to your question (and what we mentioned above),5.1 > 7.1 upmix capability isn't a simple matrix. That's true.
It requires more to make this happen (i.e. see dolby encoding matrix below: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Pro_Logic).
I don't know if your trick would work as never tested.. maybe could do the trick but unsure to be honest..
