mpv video upscaled to 4k may struggle to compete with commercial tv, but the audio quality of mpv is far superior.

rn watching howl's moving castle on sbs and its constantly flipflopping between too loud and too quiet, even sentence from sentence by the same character in the same scene, and of course the background music and effects way too loud vs the dialogue

[now switching channels to patriot games maybe the audio there will be tolerable]
