I have the Smyth A8 and I am using it. The user manual is not the easiest to use if you are having problems with the set up, but persistence pays off. I am using the A8 with a Sherwood R-972 with Trinnov, and I can say that the Trinnov does appear to work when applied as a pre-processing step to...

"Actually, there is a laborious and and time-consuming way to do it, assembling a measurement two channels at a time IF there is a two-channel analogue input that goes through Audyssey, but that is beyond the scope of this session and would certainly be impractical for demos." -Lorr   I have...

"You wouldn't even be able to use your room correction system with a cable company STB/DVR as a multi-channel DD5.1 source device for HDTV."   No. You are confusing use with setup. The Dolby Digital 5.1 from a cable box or DVR would be digital inputs to the receiver and Room EQ and other DSP...

"Very similarly, your room correction system apparently has its own similar limitations and requirements on input, namely either (a) discrete multi-channel LPCM on its HDMI input, or (b) 2-channel analog (but not multi-channel analog) its 2-channel RCA inputs. Your room correction unit...

Quote: I hear you. I am going to purchase a Smyth A8 but I also have a R-972, but to get the sound over headphones that I get with the loudspeakers in the room with Trinnov engaged, there would need to be an ADC box between the Smyth and the R-972 so the Trinnov could be applied to the...

The problem with the JVC and Sony processors is that they have to 'fake' multi-channel over 2 channel headphones, so they cannot be lossless. I have Dolby Headphone in my receiver and I watch 5.1 HDTV with it. It only works for me sometimes, and how well it works it depends on the source...

It is not possible to listen to lossless multichannel( SACD, DVD-Audio, Dolby TrueHD, DTS- HD MasterAudio, or multichannel PCM ) as recorded over headphones. The JVC processor( and AKG used to also have a processor ) will simulate multichannel on headphones, given a lossy 5.1 Dolby Digital or...
