Something that has just occurred to me is that BACCH is a perfect example of where 'objectivism' as practised by some audiophiles would be shown to be faulty.
For example, many objectively-minded audiophiles think that if they measure the in-room frequency response of a setup they like, this should then be a target for a different setup in a different room; in doing so, they will be duplicating the goodness of the original setup goes their thinking.
Logically, on the same basis, if we measure the response of BACCH to sine sweeps and other simple test signals, we should be able to take those frequency response results and get close to them using graphic equalisers and the like, and we will have duplicated BACCH..!
But it is only because we know beforehand how crosstalk cancelling algorithms work (fundamentally in the time domain) that we know that this would be fruitless. Because we know how they are designed, we know what measurements would make sense and, perhaps more interestingly, we know that measurements would be kind of pointless. It would be interesting to see Stereophile's measurements page for BACCH; they would be better off reprinting the source code for the readers to peruse.
Well, I suggest that the same is true for 'room correction' and 'target curves' and the like. The measurements are crude, meaningless irrelevances that display time domain phenomena in the form of the contents of frequency bins, smoothed and with the phase thrown away. If you were to display them in full, they would be meaningless because of their complexity, and if you display them 'simplified' they are even more meaningless. The approach is 180 degrees wrong. If you look at the design of the 'source code' you know what's going on; if you try to measure the output, you are just blundering about.
