then it will be worth exploring. I have always missed in my playback the way the air in a concert hall gets filled of sound, as if notes and specially their armonics were flowing upwards. The TU-X1 does that trick quite nicely, but it's not the same really.
Antonio,

it is very good that you mention the TU-X1 in context of this thread, I have thought about it already as well. Yes, I agree the Ambianic quietly of TU-X1 are stunning, nothing comes close among what I have see. No CD, not HI-Res formats, and no analog can even approach it. If you have a live broadcast, with no compression and the performing hall is properly microphoned then the “space” that TU-X1 throws is phenomenal. BTW, pay attention that TU-X1 while doing “space” does not change the size of imaging. Pay also attention how sensitively TU-X1 portrays the acoustic environment of each performing hall… BTW, if you use TU-X1 then try to get as best LF section as you can….

If the K-stereo’s processing algorithm can do the same with digital stream then it will be wonderful. Though my ultimate 9and very personal) goal would be do not do it “before DAC” but to find a way to “smartly” randomize phases and inject ambiance at… speaker level. I did some experiments in past with artificial faking RT60 and cross-injecting of my right and left the channels. Something was very promising, something was not good… I still am planning to return to this subject in future….
