The first movie I put on was one I had seen numerous times - the first Iron Man movie. And that opening scene, I’d seen the tumbleweed blow across the screen in front of the humvee so many times. But that was the first time I’d actually heard it.

That's interesting!
My processor will be 7 years old, so a new one might be coming soon.
One question: can you play multi-channel DSD from a SACD-player from your Anthem (without conversion to PCM in between)?
I have a lot of SACDs, I'm not planning on ripping them.
