DTS? Dolby this that and another thing?

So, if what you're saying is that if I set up my room according to specs you recommend , and acoustically treat it in the way you recommend, I'll be able to hear DTS Neo create six distinct channels from two, i guess I'll just take your word for it 'cause it's never happened in any other environment I've been in and I ain't gonna redo my living environment for something this silly.

Nope, not what I said. Go back and read post #18 again.

I did. I gotta admit you lost me with all your verbose defense of Neo, but it didn't convince me, or anyone else methinks. DTS Neo still doesn't "create" six channels from six no matter how you try to spin it. And that, my friend, was my initial statement.

I don't know, or care, where you went with it, but I'm still sticking to what I said initially. It DOES create "stuff" fo fill the otherwise unused channels for parties but, for anything near critical listening, nah!

Simulates multiple channels? Perhaps.

Creates? No fargin' way. I ain't deaf.

Oh stop trying to spin and deflect. Post #18 was very clear, and if you just read the $hit instead forcing your opinion down our throats, then you would have got the point. DTS Neo does not create six channels from six, it creates six channels from two.

I already acknowledged that you can stick with your overly simplistic non-technical perspective. That is your right.

It does not create stuff to fill in otherwise unused channels, those channels didn't exist before decoding. Stuff is a non-precise not technical term with no relationship to this discussion.

Who said it was for critical listening? Were are you getting this stuff? And thank you for admitting it "creates" whether you want to call it stuff or whatever.

Here is the problem with your simplistic narrow minded perspective. Each signal in each channel is discrete. The matrix is designed to work that way. That is how it is able to discretely steer signals to specific places around our heads.

If it were doing nothing more than repeating or simulating, then the effect would break down quickly, sound smeared, and mushy. If it were a mere simulation, then it could not place objects in specific points in space like it can - it would all just be a giant mush of sound.

Your game of semantics is boring as hell.

There is no one size fits all with Neo6. There are different codes and DSP's at different price points and performance levels with Neo6 on them. There is Crystal Semiconductor, Motorola and Analog Devices, and each of them use a different code and DSP's for programming Neo6 that will get you different results. There are also custom solutions designed for specific processors(like mine) that can be programmed for greater accuracy, steering speed, more multiband processing(the silicon solutions only use three bands of multiband steering, mine custom software design uses six, no chips here). You could have heard Neo6 on mid priced chipset, that does not have the accuracy or processing abilities that my software based solution has.

In other words, we could be hearing drastically different implementation of Neo6. That is a fact, not opinion.

I guess this vapid empty response is all you have, and that is okay. It is hard to draw money from a empty account.

Uh huh...

When you say neo creates "real" six channels from two, you're essentially saying that masturbation is the same as having "real" sex with another person.

Trust me, some of us know the difference ...with both.

Mark, step back from the ATM, you don't have any money. You comments are so far off topic, it becomes meaningless BS.

Simulates multiple channels? Perhaps.

Artificially derived or synthesized channels using any number of DSP based schemes always sound synthetic to me. Cool sounding for about two minutes.
