In our main lounge we use an Onkyo as the amp for 5:1 surround system. I have been very pleased with it as it has good Burr-Brown Dacs and good pure stereo options. The HDMI board needed replacing, which all went very well. But when it came back the sound from Left and Right was muddy. From iTunes, or Roon, direct from Mac Mini to amp via HDMI, or through USB to Mytek Brooklyn, same result. Took me a while to work it out. Answer: previously I had set up the L+R to be bi-amped using un-used Onkyo surround channels. But it had lost the bi-amp setting while way. So essentially I was running L+R without tweeters. Muddy - an understatement! Anyway bi-amp setting restored in amp and back to normal sound!
