What’s wrong with Opus and flac? I’ve never understood this whole lossy audio format wars when none of them offer anything besides a bizzword salad of “features” that maybe a handful of audiophiles might pretend they can notice.
“3D sound” ooh sounds fancy! I remember my boombox in the 90s had a feature with the same. Have they run out of Buzzwords or somthing… 3d, VR, HDR, I swear they’ve been reinventing the same shit for 30 years.
Samsung and Google? Two companies well known for maintaining tech long term rather than getting bored within a few months.
Yeah I had a huge laugh, this is just gonna suck for the people who get suckered into it.
Googles propensity to create and destroy tech at alarming rate aside, what is there to be gained in immersive audio? Atmos sounds borderline real in a good setup. What are the current limitations for high end HT audio that this is looking to improve upon?
Edit: so I read it, and it sounds like this is a push for an open source audio standard. If that’s the case, then as much fun as dunking on Samsung and Google is, I support the endeavor, at least in theory.
Fuck that noise. I’ll be damned if I’m going to drop 3k on hardware that’ll be dead in a few years.
