Sorry, I don't know, I am not following up as I used to be when I started the thread.

I chose the word “comprehensive” meaning that they incorporate a greater quantity of filters related to the listening room and listener head and torso. It is controversial to valuate them using the words “standard” or “superior” since music reproduction is not pretended to replicate reality...

You are probably right, because my acoustical environment, my headphones and my own hearing might not be perfect. For instance, although my speakers are placed equidistant to me and to the adjacent walls, in a reflection free zone (I have rock wool absorbers), I hear male voices to the left and...

Soloing the speakers and head tracking really helped me to comprehend the externalization the first time I listened. I did it without video, only stereo.

I also applied firmware 1.60 upgrade. I’ve just tested the stereo analog in and front left and right analog outputs: Cd (rca out) > A16 (stereo rca in and stereo 3.5mm stereo output sockets) > Amplifier (xlr in) > electrostatic headphones. Measured stereo speakers PRIR and electrostatic...

push in and hold user a volume knob for at least 3 seconds

I haven’t received the second headtracker yet. They did send without tracking so it is probably stuck at customs, since it usually takes months to clear here with public standard shipping. I was trying to keep it simple, but now to run the HPEQ I need a RCA to XLR cable or a firmware update with...

I have just implemented a FIR filter for my room using REW, Rephase and Equalizer APO and the result is a clear improvement. Thank you all for the tips!

Has anyone tried to send RIR measurement sweeps through USB? I have just implemented a FIR filter for my room using REW, Rephase and Equalizer APO and I would like to measure my room through that filter that is convolved by my computer and the sent via HDMI to my TV.

I haven’t received yet. They didn’t provided any tracking number, so I can’t tell you if they really shipped it. For now is just a promise.

James sent me a message last week saying that he was going to post it this week. I haven’t received a shipping notice yet...

alternatively, one could buy another - why not more powerful - amp and keep different flavors.

I haven't received any question about the length of the head tracking cable. I recall them saying there would be different lengths.

Maybe it is easier to comply with local sales and export regulation to commonwealth nations than export norms to other countries thus they ship UK and Australia clients first. Maybe they are prioritizing European clients. Maybe they are prioritazing the clients UPS said it can deliver faster...

I thought royalties were calculated per unit sold and boxes were an integral part of the product design - not an afterthought.

Are you familiar with the plugins Genelec has tested? Maybe one or more has headphone calibration or tracking solution? Perhaps is time to Smyth Research start thinking about the adoption of a Sofa file...

Are you planing to order the processing of your HRTF? If yes, please start an impression thread! The requirements for video and measurement photographs seem very specific. I would like to know an indicator of accuracy. For instance, the deviation from an HRTF recorded in an anechoic chamber...

We cannot blame Dolby. They are securing that the A16 will work with all Dolby systems in all possible configurations. It takes time. There are so many possibilities...

I agree with @esimms86 about a new impressions thread. As @dsperber is going to receive his unit first, he could start such thread as soon as he receives his own unit, signaling that the A16 is available for purchase to anyone else.

I am also disappointed. Maybe Monday? However, very few and more expensive products are able to render equivalent tonal, spatial and acoustical performance in my little appartment. There are companies that reinforce their products "value" by frequently launching new versions or using cognitive...

You are right. I have no clue either. I made such assumption based on binaural synthesis. But I have never compared a real sound field to a simulated one made by, for instance, the Bacch-DSP. Perhaps @bigshot is also right in his feeling and there will always be differences no matter how precise...
