Is virtual surround any better than Stereo?
as it stands and after having used SRS dolby headphone dolby prologicII EAX ReYzOr surround DTS and all the other 3 letter abbreviations. I like none of them. I use none of them
to me all they do is make sounds hollow and echoey and do nothing to add depth and immersion in sound.
I would much rather take the in game binaural sounds and hear that reproduced through my open backed headphones to get that full immersion into the game's soundscape.
to me virtual 7.1, virtual 5.1 is just a marketing gimmick its just reverb and echos never have I enabled virtual surround and thought that I could locate sounds better than the native binaural recordings.
that said
I am looking forward to Headphone X from dts which might be launching this year the IOS and android app that came out demoing it was alright perhaps its just my need to see the latest and greatest or perhaps its the love of bigger numbers (virtual 11.1 four entire numbers greater than 7.1) but I am optimistic on this new thing.
maybe its this new virtualizer plus AMD's new graphics cards populating the soundscape with substantive objects that I need or perhaps I'll just add it to the list of failed virtualizers that don't impress me much.
