If interested in binaural audio, ambisonics, 3d audio. head tracking, etc., here a link to a conversation with Mathias Johansson (Dirac): https://play.acast.com/s/5fcb96ece5...-vr-for-our-ears-dynamic-3d-binaural-audio-ho :) Flavio

Pleased that it has now been fixed, that phasing issue impacts on Dirac Sensaround cutting the bass reproduction

It's possible that the unit has been returned before availability of the firmware update. One channel phase was reversed (SE input RCA only)

I'm watching this thread as of course I'm very interested in your comments and findings about Dirac Sensaround, it's unfortunate that a few initial units with wrong firmware slipped into users hands and one has been tested by Amir :frowning2: I'm confident anyhow that Monoprice will follow up...

Here the concept behind it: https://www.dirac.com/dirac-blog/how-to-make-headphones-stereo-compatible

It seems to me that this heated debate about "crossfeed" vs. "no crossfeed" is going nowhere... I think we might agree that plain crossfeed for headphones listening is not a complete solution and can be improved upon, on the other hand we might agree as well that plain headphones listening of...

Even if the results often are as good as possible, Stereo has objective limitations and we think that there is room for significant improvement in both the playback and recording technologies/techniques. I hope that you'll find this blog post on the subject interesting... :) Flavio...

May be we can look at the subject from a slightly different perspective. While sound engineers properly outline that their recordings are not a snapshot of any real world acoustic environment and a form of art, they nonetheless have to optimize the listening result (according to their choices...

The following blog posts should be interesting in the context of this heated debate... How to make headphones stereo compatible: https://www.dirac.com/dirac-blog/how-to-make-headphones-stereo-compatible Under the hood of the stereophonic system, Phantom sources...

One of the reasons why we ventured into this is that we have found that the need for individualization is less important than generally thought, provided that the HRTFs are modelled correctly... just as in room correction, trying to model every tiny detail of a head-related transfer function can...

Good point... Dirac Sensaround can be switched off when listening to speakers through line out :) Flavio

A proof of concept has been demoed at CES, this a video about it...     :-) Flavio

  A good point... individual HRTFs and our (somehow unexpected) findings are discussed in the last section of the above linked document

"If we can manage to design the ideal custom listening space and speakers in the virtual domain, well, then we have also succeeded in creating the ultimate room correction solution—replacing the real room with a virtual room, decked out to provide the best possible listening environment!"  ...

A detailed article about cross-feed for headphones and future technologies (not available in the market now) has just been published here: http://www.dirac.com/dirac-blog/how-to-make-headphones-stereo-compatible   :-) Flavio
