Awesome! But is there a reason why the title says '(Sale Ended)'?

Always been curious about your background. You're an audiophile that learnt to code? Or you have some engineering background? Don't mean to pry though. :grin:

To be honest, I couldn't really say there's a noticeable difference....and the speaker simulation is still not really there... Still very conscious of the 'sound pressure' coming from the earcups, unlike some of the presets in OOYH, you almost cannot feel anything from the earcups. With just a...

Weird issue. Guess you'll have to check with Creative's tech support....or perhaps test it on a different machine? Or maybe some admin rights issue? If you're logged in, should be able to see this:

Oh, Johnn29 mentioned Peace GUI equalizer before, you might wanna try it and compare with the SXFi equalizer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/ Yes, the head map profiles and the headphone presets both can be changed from the Windows software. Latest version?

Not a heavy eq user, so can't help you there. What I can think of is whether the others can recommend some eq software so you can compare. This doesn't sound right. You have head mapping done already? And logged into your account in Windows?

For the ear-piercing part, are you talking about the amp alone, with the SXFi off? I haven't tried the HFI-780, so I am making wild guesses here, do be aware of that. But just based on what I read about the HFI-780, for example from WhatHiFi: https://www.whathifi.com/ultrasone/hfi-780/review, if...

Right, I did it differently. Not sure if it applies to integrated sound as well, but mine's a bit wonky so can't really test. And after some testing, I guess I spoke too soon. Did get one instance of static, will have to test further when I'm free. There's at least 1 case I'm getting with...

Let me see if I understood correctly... When I select a speaker preset in OOYH...I am getting the recorded speaker impulse response + HRTF of the person doing the recording (human or mannequin)...but when I hear it through MY ears and headphones, 'my' HRTF is different from the recorded HRTF in...

Maybe this has already been mentioned in the 70+ pages, but just want to share that Zenvota, over at the SXFi thread, provided a workaround solution for the pop and static issues OOYH has. So for people who use USB DACs, the trick is to first configure the OOYH speakers as default through the...

Oh my, you're right! This should be in some sort of FAQ over at OOYH, to just set the default speaker manually rather than let the software auto change the settings. "...using these HRTF binaural convolution engines you need to invert the headphone response to compensate for double HRTF,..." If...

In my case, I feel that the SXFi makes audio sound echo-y and like in a cave. I can't say I can pinpoint the issue as precisely as you, but I'd imagine I'm experiencing something similar. The audio quality drop is bad enough that whatever positional effects are lost to me. And if I hadn't...

He's an angry man :beyersmile:

I've only tried the Waves NX demo on the browser, and while I do get the surround effect, it is also obvious that the sounds are coming from the headphones. From the standpoint of deceiving my ears and simulating speakers, it wasn't the case for me. But I'm not using the Audeze, so maybe there's...

How about your experience with the Out of Your Head software? So far, my experience is it is THE speaker simulation to beat. But you'd prefer Waves over OOYH for music? Movies?
