It was @phoenixdogfan’s question “Is there a way of giving each prir you do a distinctive name, so you can pick it out.” The answer was in your Post #10,645 .

That's not what I meant. In this post I described how to change the "name" inside the Realiser, the "legal" qay (implemented and authorised by Stephen Smyth).
Litlgi74 asked for renaming the files OUTSIDE of the Realiser, I suppose he means on a computer.
And if he referfs to the "names" that the Realiser shows on screen (which are not the real file names) then they are in the file header and Stephen told me I can not alter them without compromising the file (unreadable?) but someone else reported that he did, and it worked. But I can not find the post at the moment.

This is what I was asking about... If I could change the file name... it would be much easier to label each PRIR for easier recognition.

It's difficult to know what channel this PRIR represents: PRIR_User 1_Paradigm Studio _9[ 15.21 01-Nov-2020 ]201101152158

Hi can anyone tell me if this works with IEMs like U18T / KSE 1200? I heard there was post talking about it?
Thanks
Jamie

Edit - Ok I found that it’s possible

Guys,

Sorry I wasn't following this thread all the time. How come there are two versions of the A16? Vertical and Horizontal. What's the deal? I thought the original version has always been the vertical one that can double as a headphone stand.

Thanks.

Thanks. I sure prefer the vertical version.

Thanks. I sure prefer the vertical version.

I wish I got the horizontal... Other than using it as a headphone stand... The vertical takes up a bunch of space...

If any has a 2U and wants to trade... Let me know.

Wait, not intentionally derailing the thread. But the headstand is a fair amount smaller than the rack mount and is 6.xx lbs instead of 10.xxlbs. The headstand is almost portable, as in 16 watts and usable from an AC inverter battery power "pack".

Rack mount way larger.

I wouldn't mind the size... Once the PRIRs and HPEQ is stored in the unit. I really don't need to see the Realiser... Especially since I use the auto off feature for the LCD.

@omniweltall
Just to avoid misunderstandings: Those pictures are a bit outdated as the annonotations on the units have changed (or rather: on the pictures they are far from complete). Also there is a picture of a silver 2U rack mount model but (for now at least) the 2U unit is only available in black. And the headstand only in silver.

Thanks for the clarification. The 2U does look better in black.

Hello everyone, does anyone have a link to the EQ files anyone else has been getting?

I wanna compare and see how right I have been doing the set up

It is taking me far longer to set it up than I thought at first, so I wanna see how it sounds with what everyone else has been using

I am guessing you mean the google drive where you can dowload some PRIR and HPEQ files?

Listening to other people's PRIRs and HPEQs most likely gives you zero information about what the best possible result is or how good or bad your own measurements are. The best chance of getting a realistic out-of-head experience, hearing the speakers at the locations and distances that you measured them, is with your personal measurement.
If you don't get a realistic sounding result then you should maybe try a few measurements with different mic positions.
Also I hope you are measuring at least 3 lookangles to have headtracking. While listening to your PRIR make sure headtracking is active (set it in optical mode, if you use magnetic mode it takes some time (10-15 minutes?) before it starts working. In the beginning move (turn) your head a bit more often than you normally would (but within the limits of the headtracking). In case of a less-than-perfect measurement this will help (for most people I think) your brain to get the out-of-head experience.

Woah, very handy information!

Also, it was what I was looking for, I want to experiment a bit, I am getting somewhere with it.

Tried the A16 vs a high-end DAC/AMP like the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+. Tried it with HE400i 2020, because i had it on hand

At first, A16 sounds different from what I was expecting, a bit too airy and not quite enough bass (not sure where I am doing something wrong), Then when switching back to a standard DAC/AMP, the differences are huge, it sounds like the sound of a traditional DAC/AMP has bulky and blocky parts, which with A16 are just a natural soundscape. It is amazing what it can do, but I feel that I can also get the bass right with more experiment - I think that I'm doing wrong the HPEQ settings, or that I'm stuck with the default one which was meant for HD800. It surely is not easy to use and set up, but man, I was not expecting such results, going back to not using it feels like going between a hi-res file (a16) and a very compressed mp3 file (most traditional dac/amps) - I'm talking about the magnitude of differences in how natural the stage sounds.
