Thanks a lot for clarification. That was a short anticipation 🙂 But maybe one day...

"over-ear-floating solution" was I wrong? Would be interested in a true (as other earspeaker touching the ears) K1000 successor. Thrilled again

Doesn't look like an earspeaker system ☹️

First Watt F1 is often mentioned. I myself drive them with an Emotiva BasX A100 and am happy with it (especially with the low noise floor). But I have to say that I'm using it only in conjunction with a Realiser A8.

I think it is OK to post here that there are no cushions available. So I'm pretty curious if and how someone done a custom replacement.

Hallo Heinz, technisch sind die MySpheres oder auch Raal Ribbon Hörer sicherlich als Nachfolger zu sehen. Leider bieten beide keine Möglichkeit die Treiber 100% frei schwebend zu betreiben. Die einzige Ausnahme stellt da der Jecklin Float QA dar. Leider braucht man da wieder einen speziellen...

Good job. Shows love for the phones which got no true successor till nowadays 😢 Please report back if u find a comfortable solution for the pads. Some day I will have replace them too.

personalized rendering of Dolby atmos went public beta. Time is ticking for Smyth.

But none of them allows interchanging of sound relevant parts within the hrtf afaik 😉

They're speaking of parameters: "When enough of the underlying parameters of the generic HRTF are personalized, the composite HRTF dataset should be indistinguishable from a measurement of the individualized HRTF of the user." Seems to be more than just eq

I guess there's still no guide how to change the battery of the headtracker by yourself?

Has someone tried to use the wired headtracker of the a16 with the older a8?

for me k1k are the perfect companion because nothing touching the ear area elevates the realism of the simulation. to bad theres no real successor which can be bought new.
