Collection: Auro-3D files (embedded in 5.1 FLAC)

Immersive Audio is a sonic sculpture that you can literally move around and relate to spatially; surrounded by music you can navigate the aural space and choose angles, vantage points and positions. Auro-3D fully envelope the audience in a cocoon of life-like audio. Acoustic reflections are captured and released naturally as the sounds originate from around as well as above the listener. The height information, as captured in recording, is mixed into a standard 5.1 PCM stream. Any device that contains the Auro codec will be capable of decoding the original 3D source. Thanks to the backward compatibility, devices without the decoder will produce the original 5.1 PCM mix without loss in sound quality. 

Play via Blu-ray player: Save the downloaded file on your USB stick, DVD-R, or BD-R. Insert those into your Blu-ray player and play the file the same way as you would play a Blu-ray disc. AURO-3D can be reproduced from your AURO-3D AVR when connected to a Blu-ray player via HDMI.

Play via computer using a media player software: AURO-3D can be reproduced via your AURO-3D enabled AVR when connected to your PC via HDMI. It is important to disable the sampling rate converter in the software settings and set the sampling frequency in the computer's OS settings to the same as the downloaded file. Secondly, it is important to set the output level of the software player to exactly 100%. This can be secured automatically by using a software that takes Exclusive Mode over your HDMI output, like Audirvana or Roon.
