Can't wait to try my current settings with my coming new equipment.

In this case, in the Channel Mixer, in the subwoofer settings, choose "leave the sub intact" and reduce the frequency to 30-50 or any other value you like. Some people, of course, may prefer "Reference Room" over "Live Room" in the Dolby Headphone settings. |

This isn't a problem when listening to albums, as I can simply toggle the DSP's off, but I'm an avid playlist/mix maker, and it's extremely inconvenient to have to manually load and unload the preset between stereo and 5.1 tracks. Would anyone happen to know of a way to assign specific DSP configurations to individual tracks? Thanks so much for any help. |

Probably it's because "rear in front" and "front in rear", when not set to zero, make the sound muddy. I think the Dolby Headphone plugin works better when we feed it with 5.1. material where fronts are fronts and rears are rears and they are not cross-contaminated. |

I consider it a technological breakthrough of great magnitude. It's amazing how few people know about it or care about it. Do you think we are going to see the CM+DH processing in DACs, either as in-built modules or add-on DSPs, any time soon? |
