Z840: Can output true surround sound?
Posted: Wed Nov 15, 2017 4:37 pm
We are considering replacing our 2010 Mac Pro with a Z840. We have put this off a long time.
We need to be able to monitor true surround sound (not pseudo or simulated) from DaVinci Resolve while we upmix from stereo using Halo Upmix. The 2010 Mac Pro only outputs simulated surround.
We monitor the stereo mixing with Barefoot studio monitors, then will monitor the surround upmix using a Marantz SR7012 A/V receiver.
Questions for HP computer users
1. Will the Z840 output true surround, i.e., will it enable hearing the actual surround mix outputs (all 5.1 channels) from DaVinci Resolve?
2. How do I connect to the Marantz receiver? Quadro P6000 Display Port to HDMI cable to Marantz?
Thank you for your help.
