content: Is anyone else annoyed by the entertainment industries constant push to upgrade your AV-equipment? Quick rant, hopefully it's coherent enough. Sorry for the little wall of text. The current audio format "wars" remind me a lot of the Blu Ray vs. HD-DVD debacle and it's starting to get on my nerves. Who has the cash or even the energy to keep up with the pace of technological innovation the entertainment biz is shitting out seemingly every other month? Who's looking forwared to replace the tangled mess of wires from your current AV-system with a new one? Oh, and how many speakers do I need this year to get the greatest audio quality? Never mind that I'm too old to hear anything beyond 12kHz anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong but Auro-3D, Dolby-Atmos,  DTS:X are now being hyped up to replace Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. All these new standards should be supported by any receiver you buy, which will likely produce devices that are a bug-laden heap of frustration, since all the major players want to be first to market with unfinished firmware. HDMI has gone through 14 revisions, including sub-revisions, 6 if you only count major ones. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against healthy innovation, but what's going on currently is not only confusing to the end-user but also seems more driven by marketing departments than by any advantages the new formats, discs, 2k and 4k and 8k screens, etc. are supposed to bring to the living room. It feels like such a rat race. At which point has home cinema quality peaked and just become "good enough" for more than 90% of users? At which point is it just that much more hassle-free to pirate the content you want in a compatible format than to deal with all the WORK of entertainment and relaxation?
