Field notes
The receiver demo exposes its decision logic: readers select an app, and the page shows whether the script would choose Dolby Surround or stereo, with a note that the receiver must be on. The hi-res guide calculates half the sample rate as the highest carried frequency and gives theoretical dynamic range at roughly 6 dB per bit. The site also lists a Yamaha TSR-700 and a pair of Google Home Max speakers as still in testing.
