Lol. Bark chips are in the mail. 

 

I watched one of the clips you posted and it seems legit.

 

There is no way in farken hell I can convince my missus that I should buy this within the next 12 months. 

 

Looks like I'll be sticking with peasant level 5.1 speakers for now. 

 

Extra edit: when are you getting it?

 

Holy sh*t edit: I just realised I need this...

The guys came up with SVS  (probably seen it's logo on hardware), the APT-X codec (used in the A2DP bluetooth audio standard) and were part of DTS (competitor to Dolby surround - was on most DVD's and Bluerays)

 

They're legit, just hoping they send me my unit before they cark it lol

 

If you're bored one day and want to have a play with what's possible using headphones, give this a try - emulates most of the options that are out there.

Try this with headphones on to see what the differences are between some of the "solutions"

 

Windows 10 now does Atmos and Sonic natively (plug the headphones in and choose the "surround" option) and will have DTS-X soon.

 

The GSX works best for me.

Cheers. Won't do anything tonight as on mobile and watching netflix etc etc.

 

Will have a play in the daylight hours.

 

I have some kind of sound thingo built into the mobo so will look there too.

Yep - will probably have a Creative (SBX) or CMSS version on there.

 

Would recommend not judging the potential of it by turning them on lol - the onboard ones are pretty underwhelming

 

The reddit link to the HeSuvi stuff above would be worth spending time on instead.

 

If you can find a pair of on/over ear headphones to play with it'll be far better than earbuds/plugs style things.

 

edit: I might move this stuff to it's own thread when I wake up tomorrow - not really PC thread stuff, but doesn't really belong here

See how I go. For now it's bedtime lol.

We had "sound bar magic"
Now it's time for "Headphone magic" [emoji1787]

Will do

Done

Note: I made a huge edit/addition to the 1st post to give a little background to my illness

 

Putting it into text scares me I only touched on the extent of my various items

 

Pic below of some of it a few years ago while I was moving the setup - has increased in size since then greatly

 

The beige set are the HD598's that led me down the path in the first place.
