I had a bunch of problems with a recent Denon and noise. One issue is present until I put the unit into ECO mode. The other required me to add a common mode filter to my input AC (I used an emotiva cmx-2).
It's been frustrating because I've been running Denon AVRs for years and this newer model is the worst of them all for noise issues (AVR-X6700H)
A UDM-pro might be a good option in addition to some of the other suggestions here.
Most of this column makes a lot of sense and I'm sure it's more correct than not, but the lack of detail to back up his claims is a bit frustrating. The security section in particular reads like a "trust me bro" rant. It's been a while since I've seen anyone suggest that Intel is the best choice for system hardware-level security.
Let's go C's!
Steve Burke is a treasure. It's rare to see anyone in the space stand up to companies like Asus because so many of them are dependent upon getting review samples for free and so on. He just doesn't seem to give a shit and I love him for it, and his subscribers reward him for it. I wish the auto industry had more people holding their feet to the fire.
Microsoft gave up on QA a long time ago.
This is quite the comprehensive list. A nice reference for the future. Hopefully he keeps it up to date as the list of offenses grows.
I tried new outlook once and it was such a fucking disaster I'm still shaking from it 6 months later. It was also a giant pain to go back to classic.
It's really unfortunate they kinda screwed over threadripper customers so bad in this way, but they're still the lesser evil by a country mile.
Not only Asus, it talks to general ways to understand warranties and rights across the industry.
The audio is noticeably worse on streaming as well. They seem to put very little effort into improving streaming audio formats. DD+ Atmos is nice(r) but it's still based on AC-3.
