Cecala, do you not remember? you have been there..
Dolby Headphone sounds killer! I listen to the majority of the movies I watch using my headphone setup.

Implementing this will be next to impossible though as the soundtrack needs to be recorded using the Binaural 'Dummyhead' at the source. I cannot see movie makers doing this only for headphone users.
yet what we might possibly could have one day is.. Dolby Headphone with a HeadRoom..

Desktop flip years away, but what would you like to see when we do.

we would like to get a grip on Digital Signal Processing and put one in the box to:
  • Provide Dolby Headphone.
  • Provide a HeadRoom digital crossfeed processor for two channel audio intended to improve audio imaging on headphones, but which doesn't mess with the fidelity of the music by adding extranous cues.
  • Provide a parametric equaliser function.
  • Provide prestored compensation curves for "correcting" the performance of a wide variety of headphone models.
