I recently got a new soundcard, the Asus Xonar DG, and have been using the Dolby headphone mode while playing Skyrim. Just a week ago I've set up my headphone rig again (DT880 and Corda HA-1 mkII) and been using it with the Xonar DG. So after a session of Skyrim I still had the dolby headphone effect on, and recalled it's been a long time since I've listened to Chris Rea. So I began listening to one of his albums and forgot to remove the Dolby headphone setting. So when I first heard that Dolby was still on I was about to turn it off, but then I really started to listen.... and it sounds really good! It's like having Chris Rea and his band on a smaller stage you'd find in a local jazzclub. No longer did it occur to me that different instruments and the vocals were this or that much to the left or right, it was just there all around you like when you're in front of the stage and enjoying the performance. It just doesn't come across as artifical as sound effects always do, it just sounds right. I'm truly amazed by the effect of Dolby headphones with music. Has anyone had a similar experience using Dolby headphone mode?
