LOL, what a way to necro post to an 18 year old thread.

Been a long time since I've posted here... I remember it being mentioned a long time ago that it would be possible to take a single speaker measurement and simulating multiple speakers (e.g. Atmos). Not sure if this speaker simulation would be done via modifying existing speaker measurement or...

Anyone else have problems with Chrome crashing instantly after installing latest USB Driver in Windows 10? Fresh install and I get "Aw, Snap! Error code: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION"

Yep, 1.81 is working much better. So far so good.....

Flashing firmware back to 1.81 seems to have allowed me to turn it on again. We'll see.

My Realiser A16 is getting stuck at the start up screen a lot, I have to keep turning it on and off repeatedly via the remote. It seems to be getting worse and worse. I've heard of others having this issue. Do I have the defective hardware or is this a software issue?

I've gotten USB to work with Windows 10. (Control Panel --> Sound --> Click on Realiser --> Hit "Configure" in lower left, then pick 7.1 in audio channels). Problem is that I would really like to know what format it's decoding, but overall you can see which virtual speaker is running on the...

My first audiophile headphone was from Tyll's old company Headroom when he was running it. Glad to have hung out with Tyll many times over the years since.

Seeing as how they survived as a company with the Realiser A8, I'm not worried about Smyth Research disappearing as a company. They never had any real competition for the A8, let alone the A16. Granted it's a very niche market, but Smyth Research completely owns it now. It's unfortunate that...

Web browser interface would be the most ideal. Being able to control A16 from Smartphone would be much better than using the remote.

Noted. Will discuss there. I bought (and still have) one of the very first Realiser A8. Realiser A16 being release in late 2019 is in dire need of a UI overhaul, or at the very least a Computer/Phone App for more direct control. I think it's an entirely relevant and important discussion...

Having a personalized PRIR in a top notch studio is a night and day difference. My current favorite is a local studio in Los Angeles, California (where I live). AIX Records. I have a 5.1 and 7.1 PRIR I recorded there a long time ago. They're my favorite profiles. I really hope they upgrade...

I pledged to the Realiser A16 campaign immediately when I saw it. I finally received my Kickstarter A16 (2U Version) this week. The UI and remote are horrific even by 1990's standards. Studying, and I mean thoroughly reading the PDF manual is a requirement. Fortunately Lorr Kramer at Smyth...

Yep, I missed one of the settings. Multi-channel works now.

Anyone able to get multichannel audio to work with USB input? It's only two channel for me in Windows 10.

I updated the firmware of my old Analog non-HDMI Realiser A8 and it was able to convert my old PRIR00xx files and then save them back to SD card as PRIR20xx files. Lorr walked through it quickly on the phone. The HDMI A8 just has an added daughter board, the firmware is identical for all models.

Anyone successful in converting old A8 PRIR files to A16? I can't get mine to show up on my A16.

After 2.5 year delay, I finally have my Realiser A16. First off, the UI is the absolute worst I have encountered in decades. It's the unfortunate problem with a product developed with purely engineering and zero design or marketing. The guys at Smyth Research are absolutely brilliant, but...

Update to a very old post, but I am now using Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless. It pretty much checks all the boxes for me and has completely replaced all my other wireless earphones. The most killer feature for me is it's Transparent Hearing feature. It makes them perfect for office use...

I would recommend checking out the HifiMan HE5se as well if you are considering the 560. The 560 is more refined IMO, but the 5se is more fun, dynamic, and musical, especially if you pair it with a more powerful amp. Another bonus is that the 5se got a price reduction on Adorama recently. So...

*Edit. Double post

Pics, or it didn't happen! :floatsmile:

You know, I keep thinking with every new generation of headphones, yet he keeps surprising us all. Honestly, he needs a nice long vacation to enjoy himself and find inspiration for his next innovation. Oh, and give our wallets time to recover.
