About the NuPrime-X H16-AIP
The NuPrime-X H16-AIP is a digital home theater processor that decodes immersive audio from HDMI and distributes it over an audio-over-IP network, with 4K HDR video pass-through. As part of the Fusion-X platform, it sends multichannel audio over network cable to NuPrime-X amplifiers and DACs fitted with AoIP cards, in place of analog multichannel wiring. At HiFi Boutique it ships free anywhere in the USA, with sales tax already included.
Why Choose the H16-AIP
The H16 decodes immersive soundtracks from HDMI sources and passes 4K HDR video through to the display, so a television, console or Blu-ray player can feed a multichannel system built from separate components. Its integrated room calibration measures and corrects room EQ, channel levels and speaker distances in one step, with manual adjustment available afterward.
Pure mode, the default, decodes the audio and sends it on with no DSP processing. Direct, Stereo and Multi CH modes add bass management and speaker calibration as needed, and Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X upmix stereo or multichannel sources to the full speaker layout. Crossovers for each speaker group are adjustable from 40Hz to 180Hz.
Output runs at 48kHz/24-bit by default, and can be set to 96kHz in the AoIP or Dante controller software, so DTS-HD Master Audio 96kHz content reaches a computer or NuPrime-X multichannel DAC at 96kHz.
