    So it’s $20k just to start with the processor. Then you need to throw in another $20-25k for the matching amplifier. Then you have the rest of the equipment you have to get to complete the setup. This is for someone that has the cash to burn for no other reason, and builds a home theater for the cost of what normal people pay for a whole house with property.

      whatchya mean matching i notice random power amps on ebay for a couple hundred or less all the time that are just like mine, and this thing has XLR outs. wouldn't that work fine if i had enough of them? unit cost is wayy too high for me though. im more interested in finding the modules inside it on aliexpress or something and whipping up a custom pc case, but its hard to beat a $40 used receiver from this perspective if youre not in it for bells and whistles and just need surround decoding

    • @Gamez4eveR

      while without a doubt not an accessible product, you have to understand that this is legit the most advanced av processor any home theater enthusiast could get, ignoring the proper big dick altitude 32 (roughly 30k usd) with the 48 extension (extra 23k). Trinnov is not audiophile bullshit like Boulder or Bryston or Accuphase or whatever other furniture-fi chain coper brands, they are real acousticians trying to solve problems and extremely avid enjoyers of immersive surround sound.
      The Altitude 32 released back in 2014. It's almost a decade old and the only thing that it doesn't have that everyday receivers are starting to get is HDMI 2.1 (OEM issues, it's in planning).
      Other than that, it is still the most advanced av processor, it is capable of decoding 34 channels of Atmos and the entire 30.2 DTS X Pro configuration. Even if it didn't have the Optimizer room correction that would make it a literal one-of-a-kind product, but there's more. This is not a product for people who ask whether something like this is worth it.

    Dude, that was an amazing presentation and you had me over the top excited. I was all in hook line and sinker...until you dropped that $18,000 price tag. A few years ago, I would have been ordering one by now, but I have twins in college junior year...and that can make $18,000 evaporate in minutes.. Its indeed a better mousetrap, but I remember rpaying $1400 for a Plain Jane Blu ray back in the day. I'm going to hang a while an wait for competition and a price drop, but this is truly the way to go and a game changer. Awesome video, and now I will be obsessed until I get one.

    What are your thoughts when it comes to what Amps to use?
    Outside using the Trinnov Amps, would using my Anthem MCA 525 5ch 225w per channel work well or not??
    I'm currently using the Anthem AVM90 and I'm not sure if the switch to Trinnov is worth it.
    Thanks for your insight

    I just spent $3200 for new Anthem AVM70 and thought that was way too much. But I will say my system sounds better than it ever has since I got it. Trinnov is best right now, no doubt. but I would like to hear it so see if it's worth the price of brand new car. Really too bad they don't make something around $10,000 so more people could afford one.

    Halo products like these will never make conventional AVR's obsolete.
    All this is pre processor is, is off the shelf computer components with a couple custom daughter boards for intputs/outputs, dap chips and some custom kernel of Linux. That's it. The fact the company is charging 18k for a product like this just goes to show how out of it the audio industry is. I am willing to put money on it that between R&D and manufacturing costs that unit barely costs over $1500. As long as these dumb prices stay this way a product like this will never hit mainstream, it just won't happen.

    @sammy10001 Рік тому +5

    I recently read the trinnov speaker placement white paper.
    Their products are for people with 3 row of HT seats in a huge room. If I remember correctly dolbys highest supported format is 11.1.8. Also, dolby, nor DTS. Or Auro have official speaker layouts that are capable with each other.
    So trinnov takes all these 3 seperate speaker placement standards, and does their own mapping according to your room, and their products shine when you have a room that has more speakers than the standard allows, like the 32 channel processor.
    But, I don't think trinnov is a reference product. It sounds like it changes too much. It's a niche product for rich people with crazy amounts of speakers in mega sized home theathers.
    If you want the cheaper sound mapping to happen, the new Sony ES receivers can also sound map according to the dolby standard and dolby speaker placement rules. But with sony you only get to map dolby, unlike trinnov where you can map to all three, dolby, dts, and auro.

    I’ve heard rooms with Trinov and Lyngdorf and older Storm Audio, its meh. It’s not bad but doesn’t blow me away, professionally installed high dollar systems. Some of the best HT audio I’ve head came from of all processors Anthem, Denon/Marantz and Monoprice. It came down to how they treated the room, selected and placed speakers and calibrated. Trinov is innovative for sure, Room Perfect is great but sometimes KISS wins.

      I put my money where my mouth is and bought the latest Trinnov Altitude 16+4 (HDMI2.1/Sabre DAC), I then added 4 more subwoofers and still not getting the same performance as my Marantz AV8805A. There’s something with Audyssey Multi-EQ XT32 that I like with their bass management that I can’t seem to replicate yet with the Trinnov. Hopefully in August when Wave Forming has its public release will it change. I still stand by my initial assessment, the everyday Joe offerings are high performing for the dollar vs a high priced very customizable systems, where you need to spend $5k for a professional calibration just to get similar performance. I’m already tens of thousands into it so I may as well keep it but if I had it to do over again, is the investment worth it? Questionable, I’ve already gone down the rabbit hole. @jeremey the I’m were not Amplitude, but some other integrator brand. For me I kept my amps which are the Apollon NC500 11ch premium Amp and Rotel RB-1590 as well as two Martin Logan MP500 monoblocks, they’re all gain matched pre-calibration to be roughly 78-82dB from the Trinnov mic with the volume set to -15 in the optimization measurements.

    I wish I could have gotten this over my marantz. Even though my marantz has 15 outputs it can only process 13 channels. So I can’t have 9.2.6 even though I have the outputs on the unit. Then they came out a year later with a processor that could do that 🤦🏾‍♂️
    With Trinnov, that wouldn’t have happened and had it happened they would have offered that upgrade to me for free via software update.

    Cool idea, and about time. Yes it will be expensive, that is a given. But the worry is what is Trinnov's commitment to keeping up with HDMI switching changes for instance as that is a constant moving target. I like the room correction, and calibration facilities. You showed the XLR connections speaker connections. That is incorrect. Those are line outputs to external amplifiers as you mentioned later. $18,000.00 is a heck of a commitment. One of the reasons this is such a niche product, not many will buy. Now if this was truly scalable, and you get what you want, than maybe. My needs are easy. Don't care about Atmos, don't need extensive HDMI switching or pass-through. Just a great 5.1 experience. I use currently an Anthem AVM-30. I love this. No gimmicks, no HDMI anything, no Atmos. Just add amplifiers and speakers, and subwoofer and go. I want better facilities for room calibration and I am going to use REW, but I feel the eq functions of my Anthem maybe a limiting factor. Since my needs are so easy, obsolescence is not an issue. Good room correction facilities are. Really easy. I don't need to spend $18,000.00, and never going too.

    This is right up my alley but at $20k is certainly makes it less wife and budget friendly even if you had a considerable budget..
    That said, how does it do with the feature set of a regular Home theater receiver? Does it handle casting for UA-cam videos from my iPad or mobile? How is it’s network audio handling? The brief shots of the interface look a little simplistic but how well and intuitive is it?

    You have never heard surround sound until you've heard it through a Trinnov. I had a top of the line Denon 8500 thinking it was great. Wrong. OMG. The Trinnov processing is what surround was supposed to sound like. I know it's expensive, but you will likely never need another one. Get off the 'upgrade AVR merrygoround' and get one of these. Everything else is just a toy.

    One thing to note, the Altitude 16 is a distilled, more budget friendly Altitude 32. And the 32 released almost a decade ago - back in 2014. And the 16 came out in 2017
    To add to that, Trinnov still tests all their software on an even older prototype, so future updates are to be expected for years to come.

    Interesting but expensive product. I would love to see someone break out of the expensive custom hardware game and bring this kind of software/pc based processor to enthusiasts with less $$$. A pc with this units software and a few hdmi outputs only could do all this unit could do for much less as every mass market second hard consumer AVR can be turned into a simple 7.1 channel digital DAC and amplifier. Connect 2-3 of these to the PC processor via hdmi and you have up to 21.3 channels of high quality output without investing in any hardware design and hardware costs of 1/10th of this solution because you are able to reuse older AVR's that you already own or are out of date. A truely modular solution that has better upgrade paths as well.

    Nope... Wrong. It's the other way around. With Emotiva, Marantz, Denon, Monoprice, Anthem, Arcam, etc., getting into the 16-channel and higher game without costing as much as a used car, the Trinnov is looking less and less attractive. Throw in Dirac and ARC room correction, and there will be less and less desire for the Trinnov.

Furthermore I've owned a Emotiva RMC1 plus I literally just sold my Marantz SR8012 and I can say from experience as soon as you turn on the Trinnov Altitude 16 and turn on the surround channels via laptop or tablet there's a huge difference in sound quality and clarity. You literally hear things on the Trinnov Altitude 16 thats not even audible on lesser receivers and processors. What shocked me is how you can have the volume down low and still hear every small minute detail.
