Bacch Dsp, True stereo?

@emergingsoul 

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.»
