This is a crazy rumour - that Apple is going to buy Masimo Consumer which owns the AV brands Denon, Marants and Bowers & Wilkins. I hope it doesn't happen - I'd like my next AVR to not be ringfenced inside the Apple ecosystem.

My Dune Real Vision 4k Plus media player just decided to stop playing 4k UHD mkv rips for some reason. I go out to the Dune website and see that they just released new 8k players so my conspiracy theorist side says they spiked their firmware just to get us to upgrade boxes.

This probably would not affect me at all since ill never buy another Denon AVR. Not having the B&W being available might suck but there is plenty of other amazing speakers out there.

Google just announced a new streaming device. Many were hoping it could be an Nvidia Shield Pro replacement which is now 5 years old but remains the only device that can stream 4k, dolby vision and trueHD atmos. Based on the specs there's no mention of DTS-X support which would mean it won't replace the Shield.
