THX Spatial Audio - Razer - My Thoughts
I was really looking forward to this, and to test it out.
I am afraid it was a major let down:
It uses HRTF to down mix the 5.1 / 7,1 audio from games / or any audio source,
Thus emulated surround sound, which is what I thought.
HRTF is very good, I use HeSuVi, which has umpteen different HRTF pre-sets to choose from. and it is very good.
But I just tested this THX Spatial audio from razer:
Its a stand alone app, runs out side of Synapse (major Let down)
The demo with in the app, to test the surround sound, after adjusting it, doesn't seem to work. As it goes round your head, the positioning of sound in the headset does not relate at all.. Very poor, compared to HeSuVi, Dolby Atmos App, and DTX Sound Unbound, or even windows spatial audio. There seems to be no positioning at all.. And the demo THX film on the last page, its a mess, nothing sounds where it should be. But i watch the same vid, using HeSuVi, then it is correct
