Hello. Been looking into what's truly possible with headphone spatalization technology. Turns out the impossible end-of-the-game product is the Smyth Realiser A16. However, it is prohibitively both expensive and difficult to set up. I have wondered as to whether it is possible that somebody with access to both the device in question and a properly treated 16/24 channel room experiment with it to provide its benefits for us regular folks. I've been a user of HeSuVi for some time, and the way it works is that it takes in spatial/binaural tech, measures a frequency test sweep, and enables playback on regular Windows PCs without access to the original convolver. So for example, if you wanted to listen to how the old "Dolby Headphone" algorithm sounded (which I must say was really impressive for its time), you could simply select it in HeSuVi and play any content you wanted through it. So you could gain access to whatever the algorithm does to an audio file, without direct access to the original encoder, and so on for multiple other solutions (for example, some others by Creative Audio)
So it reasons to me that there's nothing preventing the use of the same methodology to measure an A16 in an ideal room with a professional dummy head, and sharing it with the community for Atmos/DTS-X playback.
Has anybody else thought of this possibility?
