    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    I just wanted to update any potential buyers of the AT-300 processor that I have been living with the latest March firmware update for a little while, and at least in my system I have not run across any random audio drop outs or any other audio related anomalies. The unit seems a lot more...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    It means that the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) chip model here doesn't seem to support the native Direct Stream Digital (DSD) format from SA-CD's and some audiophile download music sites. You would first have to have the SA-CD player or music streamer convert the DSD data to high...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    Welcome! The firmware, so far, has been for general bug and stability patches when customers have told ToneWinner about issues that have popped up. They seem to be quite responsive thus far. For North America, Summit Hi-Fi has also been communicating with ToneWinner as well. TW is currently...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    It has a proprietary in-house room correction system and Summit provides a better calibration mic than the one normally provided by Tone Winner. The trick is to aim the mic from the main listening position to each speaker as you run through the setup. There is a pause between test tones to...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    Yes, it does still seem like a great bang for the buck product. Any quirks are getting ironed out as we speak and as above, TW has been working with its customers to create a new firmware that should address these issues. Beta testers seem to have helped narrow down the problems and it's...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    After further beta testing of the latest firmware patch with some customers on AVS Forum, it appears Tone Winner is getting ready to drop another firmware update into the wild that further stabilizes the platform in the next week or so. Reports indicate that the latest update is rock solid as...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    I'm integrating the AT-300 into my system in a more permanent capacity with a bit of a reshuffle and will do some longer listening tests of the unit. Hopefully, the lucky streak continues for you. At least Summit is seemingly willing to coordinate with TW for firmware updates when people with...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    I'm afraid that you were the one saying right at the start that a product that people actually have in their possession from an actual dealer (nevermind if it's Canadian) is somehow "suspect." I would not put a product up for consideration that was somehow shady or malevolent in intent in some...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    I have the feeling that if the AT-300 had the letters SVS silkscreened on the front panel instead you would probably be gushing over it as the new found bang vs buck champion. ;) I thought people not looking to spend a small fortune for a basic 13.1 processor might be interested in knowing...

    JBL/Arcam and Anthem put out product with major issues and non functioning features, some have yet to be addressed. You're severely downplaying their screwups. Emotiva is in the same boat. Many manufacturers are now rushing their half finished products out the door with consumers forced into...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    If you buy almost any piece of electronics these days it comes from China, Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc.. or at least almost all the parts that go into said unit. The company you are supposedly buying from may slap their name on the product, but more than likely it's going to come from...

    ToneWinner AT-300 - Budget Dolby Atmos/DTS: X Pre-amp with 13.1 channel support + 3 sub outs.

    ToneWinner, via their initial North American distributor Summit Hi-Fi, introduced their budget-friendly AT-300 13.1-channel pre-amp/processor not long ago. ToneWinner appears to be an OEM supplier for other known electronics brands as well. The GUI is a bit on the rudimentary side, but...
