HBOmax is free with AT&T Fiber Internet (I recently found a way to
record HBOmax content on a VHS HiFi VCR, for personal use only).
I'm using my old Pioneer VSX-D209 for DPL decoding.
Strangely, movies on HBOmax (DD 5.1 -> DS by the Edge browser)
have more Bass than the same movie on DVD (DD 5.1 -> DS).
Dolby Labs requires the DD (.1) LFE content be left out when
downmixing to DS.
Possibly the Edge browser isn't following the above downmix process.
I realize I'm in a tiny minority listening to downmixed DS w/DPL, but
at least the Edge browser developers seem to have made a sensible
decision about including LFE content.
