    I’ve had the same experience as just about everyone else. My HD 800 with the SDR mod are great with the A16, but any mid-tier ~$300 headphone I’ve not worked well for me.

    Trust me, I get it. I would second some of the other opinions and say that I think the Omegas are the ones that I like most. I have I think four rooms I’ve purchased and that has been the one that has gotten the most use by for for me.

    Have you tried any of the demos on his store? If not, I would start there. For me, the 3DSoundShop PRIRs are as close to sounding like an in person capture as possible, but of course that is going to vary for everyone depending on how similar your head geometry is compared to the subject in the...

    Smyth Research Realiser A16 - Issues, Questions, Feature Requests, Tips and Tricks

    I use it all the time with my PC, Xbox Series X, and PS5. Most games are encoded in either 5.1, 7.1, or Atmos nowadays so you usually get proper surround. It does work to upmix stereo to Auro3D which sounds pretty good. The only thing of note is that when using Atmos from a Windows PC or Xbox...

    I do not currently have my A16 hooked up because I just went through moving this weekend and haven’t gotten around to messing with getting that all connected again, however I can tell you that on my LG CX it is showing that it is receiving an Atmos signal from my PS5 on the beta firmware.

    A large percentage of my A16 use is for gaming, and a majority of my gaming is done on PC nowadays. The biggest issue with latency on PC I have found is if you're using Atmos (same goes for Xbox). There seems to be something with Microsoft's implementation that adds some noticeable audio latency...

    I've had mine since they started shipping in summer 2019 (I think?) and I have loved owning it. The UX/UI is at times awful though. To me dealing with that pain is worth the end result, which is an an amazing surround sound experience through headphones. It does help to have the tight knit...

    I'm not sure this will help and I'm not sure if the names of settings changed between the C9 and CX, but here are the settings I'm using: On the CX Dolby Atmos - On Digital Sound Out - Auto eARC - On SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC) - On Auto Device Detection - Off Auto Power Sync - Off On the A16 HDMI CEC...

    I don't normally use the internal apps, but since you asked, I tested out the Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power show on Amazon Prime on my CX using the internal app. I was able to send Atmos to the A16 without issue.

    I wanted to give my thoughts on John's Omega PRIR. The tl;dr is that if his other PRIRs work for you, then you absolutely should give the Omega a go. To my ears, it is his best PRIR and that is saying something considering how great his previous ones have been. I have been messing with both the...

    I will hopefully post some more detailed impressions later this weekend after I get more than a few hours of use, but the 65 and 96 are the two most amazing things I have used on my A16, and that is coming from someone who has the D&D. I think so far, upmixing to Auro3D, that I would say I...

    Yeah being a Lions fan my entire life has been nothing but misery and hopelessness. Always fun to support a team that is in the running for the worst team in professional sports lol.

    Ahh. That makes sense. I believe on of the A16 firmware updates changed that behavior. When it was first launched in beta I don’t believe you needed CEC enabled on the A16. Then I want to say firmware 2.10 which had a release note of “an improved eARC implementation” or something along those...
