HOW WE WOULD CHOOSE
The decision is more about system philosophy than channel count.
StormAudio is the more established reference today for deep Dirac implementation, Expert Bass Management and mature processor functionality. Hyperion is especially interesting where AudioControl’s HDMI-management heritage, custom-install integration and new platform architecture are central to the project.
