Hello guys
I know topics like these have been discussed many a times before on the forum but i would request you guys to give your opinion on this one.
Now currently for my media playback i have fire tv stick also my tv is a smart tv so i have netflix prime built in. Now the issue is that i find the sound on fire stick muddy tbh. Whenever i play any movie the content lacks the trebble like dialogues sound muddy and i really don't like the sound.
Since the content is compressed and i have never tested my hts's true power i decided that ill improve the source.
Now comes the dillema.
So i have three devices on my list in between which i would like to choose.
1) sony ubp x700
2) nvidia shield
3) apple tv 4th gen
Since uhd disks are too expensive buying one wud never go down my throat. Call me cheap but i may never float that boat
What i may do is stream content and play some br rips which are like 40 50gb thru hdd.( i want the best poss audio in these two sources)
Now given my preference a brp makes sense since it'll have netflix prime and other apps built in with suppport for dolby vision with hdr and also ill be able to play a brd if i ever want to( dor demo purposes) although i may not be able to sideload apps but i think i can live with that given that i have firestick as well.
I wud want to know between nvidia and sony brp given my preferences what wud u guys suggest?
Now recently in one of the threads @jr83 was praising apple tv 4th gen. It caught my attention but i suppose the advantage of apple tv is that it may give dolby vision support but on the audio front it may be more or less same as fire stick (dolby digital plus). I suppose we can rent movies on itune store but will the audio be as good as a br rip on hdd? What bugs me the most is the audio as of now. Video wise i cannot complain much coz my tv does not support dolby vision as of now.
Please help me decide its huge mess in my head right now!!
