Re: [linux-audio-user] head phones processor

Hi Arnold, That is very close to Andrew's original question about "out of the head" sound from CD's. There are headphone amplifiers that *attempt* to produce binaural sound from normal stereo recordings. There may be software, but I haven't seen any. I ran some tests with my own software, but was very discouraged with the resulting sound. It's almost impossible to recreate a true binaural image from two-channel stereo because a lot of signal is duplicated in both channels. Binaural listening requires a very clean separation between the two channels and very precise phase differences. It seems far better to do it right from the beginning. I have the same thought as you: That *some* improvement might popularize the method and turn the tide. However, there are also a lot of people with a vested interest in keeping things as they are. As long as the general populace is kept in the dark, nothing will change. Dave.
