Bacch Dsp, True stereo?

Bacch uses microphones in your ears to measure the room and your ears to get the best sound. I didn’t know about this.

You’re the only one here who doesn’t seem to get this extremely simple concept. Seriously, have you done any research on this system at all??? Or do you need a YouTube video to spoon feed you and show you how to do everything? At this point in the thread that you don’t know this system is calibrated once by using in-ear microphones is just inexplicable and utterly embarrassing for you. You keep trying to push this agenda that this is hard to set up when several people here who’ve actually bought and use it say it’s not bad at all. Yet you keep pushing this completely false narrative and seem completely incapable of absorbing any of the very pertinent information being shared with you by experienced users. There’s a problem here.

If you go to this link you can see all the parts and how it interfaces into your system through pull down menus within the system diagram.

@asctim Yes I agree getting the room corrected is key. My current results are fantastic and eerily real but I think it can get even better with BACCH. My decision to use panel speakers is due to Dr. Choueiri’s research, lack of side reflections, highly directional, single wave / line source. I’m sure your set up sounds great!

Thanks,

I'm not certain if it's appearing in the November or December issue of TAS, but Dr. Choueiri has graciously allowed us to publish a book chapter on spatial sound he wrote with the musician/filmmaker/performance artist Laurie Anderson. It provides a lot of extremely useful information about different aspects of spatiality, including crosstalk cancellation. Watch for it.

@hifidream thanks for that link. I have a pretty good idea now of the various set up configurations that can be supported. It appears though that the RME interface is a critical piece of the puzzle. Perhaps I am missing something, but it appears I would not be able to use my current preamp in the chain (unless it can be inserted in front of the RME). That is probably a deal breaker for me in my 2-channel system, probably not so much for a headphone set up I am thinking about setting up.

From the lion's mouth :

«Spatial music is music in which the spatial aspect of sound—the
perceived location, extent, and movements of sound sources in surrounding
space—is more or less equal in stature to the traditional
aspects, or elements, of music—pitch,timbre, texture, volume/dynamics,
attack/duration/decay, melody, rhythm, and form. We
shall call this traditional aspect of music canonical and contrast it
with the spatial.»
