We continue to compete with many of the same people that we have over the past two decades and and I think what separates us is as innovation and differentiation.

We fundamentally deliver -- better experience which is why 80% of your blue -- content out there is in the DTS format.

And it's -- leading brands like Samsung and LG and Intel and others are working with us to define the future audio experience that that is possible.
