What an incredible unit! We have nothing but great things to say about Trinnov. We appreciate you having us on the channel Jiles and are excited to help any of your viewers that are interested in this amazing processor or anything else audio video related! Thanks again for sharing!

I look forward to buying a used one for $1,000 20 years from now.

[@joes3800]

Unfortunately, I don't know if that will ever happen. Certain premium brands' products' value never decrease. For example, have you tried to look for used B&W Diamond D2s, or a more recent model would be any 4k Kaleidescape Players or Storage Units? Sure, they're less than MSRP, but maybe by 10%-20% at most. Don't get me wrong; hopefully what you said can happen in a decade or so. But if I'm being realistic, I doubt it.

[@Fluterra]

Keep dreaming. Will never happen, largely because Trinnov units are upgradeable, mainly through software.

[@Fluterra]

Nothing else comes close. I had a Denon 8500H before the Altitude 32 and the Denon was a toy. “Surround sound” was a joke, it literally was not even close to how the Trinnov decodes surround.

Me too...

[@williamgaw3396]

Have had one for two years. Previously reviewed and owned other megabucks prepro's and not one matched the trinnov for the ability to produce superb sound in my media room. Does esp, of up to 20 speKERS, room correction, speaker time alignment and speaker position correction, can act as a four driver crossover, among myriad other things. After reviewing I bought it at full price. Well worth it.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Thanks for watching.

[@babymaker13th]

Why don’t they invent snap on hdmi cables for firm connections ???

[@JilesMcCoy]

That would be cool! Kinda like display port connections?

[@babymaker13th]

Best piece of kit I ever bought - no regrets

[@JilesMcCoy]

Awesome!

[@umitatestr]

I watched a few unboxings and saw that there was a 3D microphone inside the box. But I couldn't find any such information on Trinnov's own website. Do you have any information about this?

[@JilesMcCoy]

About their microphone? Yes, it’s key for the system. A must have.

[@umitatestr]

@ Is there an extra charge for the microphone?

[@psyphonyxaudio]

Interesting .. They have a proprietary bundle / plug for the Amp inputs. That's neat.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Makes that side of the connections really easy!

[@pervertedalchemist9944]

I like the fact they have a couple of legacy outputs for when you want to connect slightly older equipment.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Right on!

[@dannykl6883]

Very clever but in terms of absolute sound quality is it head and shoulders above the rest of the competition which cost several thousand pounds (I’m in the U.K.) less?

[@JilesMcCoy]

Yes

[@SealedOrPorted]

8:13 This speaks volumes for HT industry.

[@JilesMcCoy]

It is really cool that the tech can fix probelms!

[@SealedOrPorted]

@@JilesMcCoy yes sir, and this is the type of "fix" I expected from my processor/room correction. Whilst amplification and tweaking help, what you are talking about is worth the investment. Exactly why so many subscribe to Trinnov as the end game processor. Thank you for your review.

[@MrILStatek]

My boy Jiles!! Yet another awesome video!

[@JilesMcCoy]

Thank you!

[@mikepasich1972]

I know it’s 16 channels but does that include the subwoofer or is it 16 channels plus the LFE with the external DAC option? I guess I’m asking would this be up to 9.4.6 or 9.4.7?

[@JilesMcCoy]

It’s 16 channels of whatever you would like. It’s more flexible than lower end units that have specific subwoofer outs.

[@JilesMcCoy]

You could do 2.14.0 if you wanted! Crazy!

Happy owner it's been a ride. Powering my pro audio technology setup

[@JilesMcCoy]

Very nice

[@Masterslessons]

@@JilesMcCoy the DSP for active was the driving force it's so smart it gives the control and hand shake for the active setup there is nothing that can compare maybe storm it's a treat. Dedicated pre amp from pro audio is about 11k so the used Trinnov was a good alternative the choice. I thank Audiosound they gave me a good deal 17k out the door. Having them tune it via IP is great the support but I haven't needed it. Thanks Jiles your an inspiration for years now I remember you videos really struck a cord thanks friend

[@muddasirsultan6256]

Can you compare perlisten speakers to the new aperion cinema line?

[@JilesMcCoy]

Gosh, Id need some Perlisten to do a comparison with. Love to do it though!

[@FrankieKennethL]

Are you keeping this unit? Are you going to show measurements to display how the said technology actually works ? Would be great to see objective data to back it up

[@JilesMcCoy]

It’s a loaner. If I could keep it I would though. The next video will show the UI and it does include some measurement data.

[@mustangfred2006]

This would do wonders for my 5.1.2 living room setup.

[@JilesMcCoy]

It does wonders for any setup! If you want more details drop your info in the link in the notes.

[@tomvanderhulst9058]

The RS20I is also upgradable, but no support at all at this moment. Sound wise it`s on the same level as the alititude 16 i quess.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Is dataset still in business?

[@Masterkale82]

They have a website.... thats it ;)

[@scruffy8861]

Jiles, what pre-pro were you using prior to hooking up the Trinnov?

[@JilesMcCoy]

I’ve used all kinds. Marantz, Denon, Onkyo, Acurus, etc.

[@JilesMcCoy]

And I have some new gems to try out soon too!!!

[@scruffy8861]

If i were looking to upgrade, likely an AVM 90 at lower cost. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to set one up in your HT and comment on how similar or different it sounds vs the Trinnov. Meaningful comments when sorting out a purchase. @@JilesMcCoy

[@JilesMcCoy]

I'd love to do that. I don't have any contacts there unfortunately. @@scruffy8861

[@richardzagozeski892]

Is the trinnov as good as the Marantz AV10 or Cinema 40?

[@JilesMcCoy]

Better in my opinion.

[@richardzagozeski892]

Is there some special between Kaleidescape & Trinnov?

[@JilesMcCoy]

They are both just top devices.

[@richardzagozeski892]

@@JilesMcCoy I had heard that Kaleidescape was offering a movie package for anyone that bought a Trinnov. Once I checked out the Trinnov 16, I think the 32 might be a better deal.

[@richardzagozeski892]

How about the Trinnov 32 channel, instead of the 16?

[@JilesMcCoy]

I don't need 32 channels in my room, but its great for those that have a need for lots of speaker locations or that need multiple channels per speaker (using the altitude as a crossover for example). Should work pretty much like a 16 but with more capacity.

[@TuanNguyen-dn9mb]

Somebody told the processor in the Altitude 32 is better than the Altitude 32

[@Fluterra]

The A32 allows for digital output, so you can use an external DAC. It also has built in WiFi. Faster CPU as well.

[@dennissimiyu3109]

How does it compare to the Acurus Muse?

[@JilesMcCoy]

It has more features than the muse. The correction tech is difference. Its based on an x86 platform. Both are great tools and I use Acurus every day .Love them!

[@bingdong8571]

Trinnov, jvc projectors, kaleidiscape, etc. Things for rich people but i guess we can look for trickle down possibilities from this stuff.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Not really. Things for the enthusiast. If you know anyone driving s F150 they could have this in their theater. just depends where your passion lies.

[@RobinMoran]

how long did it take to calibrate?

I spent about 45 minutes with the pro for that. I had everything ready to rock at start time though.

[@richardzagozeski892]

theory Audio states you need a processor for all your components to plug into, and then to their amplifier and their speakers are hooked up to the Class D amplifier.

Sounds right

Price ?

[@JilesMcCoy]

Just drop your info in the link in the notes and I’ll get pricing out to you.

[@michaelhiggins3469]

You state the Altitude 16,( and Amplitude 16,) are the top tier, yet my understanding is that the Altitude 32 is the top tier, flagship of Trinnov pre-pro devices.

[@JilesMcCoy]

The 32 is just more channels. Yes, the Altitude 16 is top tier.

[@Fluterra]

The Altitude is so much better than my Denon 8500. The Denon was a toy compared to this. I used to think the Denon sounded great - wow, there is almost no comparison.

For amplification?

@@JilesMcCoy No I meant how incredible the speakers and incredible amplifier is that drives these incredible speakers, but you need to have a processor to hook up your devices to and then out to the tiny amplifier and then out to the speakers.

@@richardzagozeski892 I don’t think they have anything like the Trinnov processor. But great speakers!

[@Echo-jg8is]

It's upgradable because it's essentially a $700 i7 X86 computer 🤔

[@JilesMcCoy]

The HDMI board is a big item for upgrades. That piece is independent of the compute architecture.

It's the software that is expensive, not the actual unit. Similar software is available, but it is much more expensive that the Trinnov unit combined.
