Re: Immersive sound
Stefan,
Your VBAP software is very interesting to me.
How many "inputs" can you process simultaneously?
Are you aware of this (much more expensive) solution?

Timax has many more features than I need, but it does sound great. Price
and proprietary hardware has kept me away.
I'd get yours at once if it worked on Windows.
