Processing
@Davesrose already kind of said it, but maybe this is a little bit clearer: DTS X Neural would be the DTS X equivalent of the "DSU" (Dolby Surround Upmixer, that can upmix traditional 7.1, 5.1, and 2.0 to something with height channels). (And like he said, DTS X is the DTS version of Dolby...- sander99

The Doppler Illusion, why is it so hard to understand?
I remember really noticing the doppler effect most in the case of vehicles with siren passing by (police car, ambulance, fire truck). And I mean noticing spontaniously, without thinking about it in advance and at the same time very consciously, impossible to ignore.- sander99

Seeking Insights on DAC Inputs: Eversolo Streamers vs. Custom Streaming PC
I sense a miscommunication, as I understood it DScience was asking if a different digital source connected to the same external DAC would make a difference.- sander99

The snapshots are taken from a band limited signal, and there is only one unique band limited signal that fits with the snapshots: and that of course is the sampled signal. So from the snapshots we also know everything that happened inbetween them. This is proven mathematics by Nyquist and...- sander99

Because it is useless to repeat the same discussion, especially because you don't understand how digital audio works and you refuse to learn how it works. (There are no stair steps in the output of the DAC. (Perfect) stair steps are a summation of an (infinite) set of sine waves at different...- sander99

The reason why your other thread was locked was that you refused to read up on how digital audio really works and kept on repeating this nonsense. The output of a DAC is a perfectly continuous wave form that is reconstructed from the sample points. No sample is "played for 1/192kth second"...- sander99

I don't understand what you mean. Or is it just that you want to compare virtual speakers with normal headphone stereo? (That is what the stereo mixdown function is for: produce a normal mixdown to stereo without virtual speakers. However, to be able to use the stereo mixdown function you have...- sander99

@mei09891, to explain further: When using eARC, enhanced Audio Return Channel, the audio goes through the HDMI cable in the opposite direction, so from an HDMI input to an HDMI output. The trick is that this way the same cable can be used that is normally used in the traditional way (to pass on...- sander99

Cognitive biases, we all have them because they are us.
To clarify further what @BS5711 maybe had in the back in his mind with "splitting hairs with the specific words": Not everyone here uses the word hearing with the same intended meaning, and even the same person doesn't always use it with the same intended meaning. In 1) the intended meaning is...- sander99

How do you measure sound stage?
No. Permanence and repeatability don't control for bias. If you do for example a proper level matched double blind ABX test then you have controlled for bias, and by repeating the test often enough you get statistical significance. (In case you don't know ABX: the test subject can listen to A...- sander99

And I forgot to add to , or don't understand it. For example seeming to think that permanence or repeatability is somehow an indicator against bias, seeming to think bias is always or mostly random. (Next to many other misconceptions.)- sander99

How do you measure sound stage?
You seem to think that bias influencing perception is a rare thing that only happens on rare occasion to a few people, [Edit: and that we think:] mainly audiophiles, and not to us. That is not the case. It happens all the time, to everyone, also me. It has nothing to do with your personality or...- sander99

How do you measure sound stage?
Ah, good to know you use an external DAC. I still could see a slight, slight possibility that a hdd drawing more power from the node could influence it's analog output performance (in which case the node was not designed to power an external hdd, so it would be a case of user error or wrong...- sander99

Anyway, that contradiction doesn't even matter. There is conscious and subconscious bias, and many more forms of bias than only expectation bias. There are countless possible ways how some sort of bias could make you perceive what you perceived.- sander99

@infernix: A more user friendly way to control the volume(s) would be on my request list. Maybe +5 and -5 plus +1 and -1 buttons? (The app would have to give repeated +1 or -1 TCP commands for the +5 and -5 I guess.)- sander99

In the A16 menu, under Apps-->PRIR measurements (SPK)-->Config look angles it is possible to set for example: Look-azi "on" +/- 30 deg x 1 and Look-rear "on" 180 deg (This I checked just now by setting it like that.) In which case I expect the A16 to possibly announce during the measurement...- sander99

@Rodrigues: If you want to do a comparison yourself then you should convert a file yourself. That is the only way to make sure that you are not comparing 2 different masters.- sander99
