whoa! nice! you live in Canada?
Yup
whoa! nice! you live in Canada?
Thanks! They are much more than I'm willing to pay for right now ~$300 on Amazon.
yea nice man! yea I've got 2 PSB Image T6 towers here, lol I thought it (PSB) was so rare, I didn't think anyone else would know about them.

Good to hear.
damn that's exciting. Really paves the need for really high end cans now. Will HRTF still work as well with just stereo towers? I guess it won't be as precise with sound coming from the front.
You'll be using headphones and 3D audio!The ultimate upgrade would be new bigger TV+new/bigger sound system/Scorpio all at once. However the sound system part very well may not happen as it's probably not worth the improvement/price ratio.
Is this due to SHAPE or does it not need the specialized hardware in the X1?
PC has something similar....correct?
Shape is basically a hardware decompresserhe XBox One having SHAPE means the CPU doesn't have to handle it,
yep, a hardware decompressor allows the xbox to use compressed audio without hitting the cpu
Did you even read the link??yep, a hardware decompressor allows the xbox to use compressed audio without hitting the cpu
yes I read the link, and whats the point of those 6 fixed function blocksDid you even read the link??
"SHAPE offers six fixed function blocks focused on common audio tasks:
I'm uncertain if SHAPE can do the HRTF processing. bkilian revealed it wasn't a Tensilica DSP but a bespoke processor. I think the voice processing hardware is the same DSP stuff though and can be repurposed based on what he said. Although that's getting too OT! For Scorpio, headphones will hopefully be the best audio solution.
The audio processor in Xbox One is fully transplanted across to Scorpio and gains new functionality - spatial surround, effectively adding a 'height' component to the existing 7.1 set-up. Scorpio is set to receive support for Dolby Atmos for gaming, Dolby Atmos for headphones plus a Microsoft proprietary format called HRTF, developed by the Hololens team. Because the APB (audio processor block) hardware is basically identical to that found in Xbox One, it means that all existing iterations of the console will get the spatial surround upgrade.
It does, but it does very little apart from putting a lot of audio streams into gamesIt does all the audio processing
So you accept your statement it's a hardware decoder was wrong?.It does...
It resamples (changes pitch) and filters. What else is it supposed to do?...but it does very little apart from putting a lot of audio streams into games
Meaning? No-one's claimed it's doing anything new or magical or the PC is being left behind or anything at all, so I've no idea where this 'hostility' is coming from. It's a fact, SHAPE in XBox One is an audio processor capable of creating 3D HRTF audio for use in games and hopefully it'll bring stereo headphone enabled 3D audio to games. The same algorithms should be present on PC as well, whether implemented in hardware or on the CPU. There's not really anything to debate, other than to ensure that readers know which opinion is the truth and which is ill-formed.the above post states it will soon support htrf well welcome to 1996
