Any HeSuVi fans should check this out if they have Air Pods Pro. Really impressed with it - full head tracking vertically/horizontally and it even seems to to work when you move your torso left and right. Ideal solution for media consumption on a TV - hopefully more apps will support it when it gets out of beta. Currently Apple's own app and Plex with old player enabled are working.
Favorites would be sweet - I've got dozens now with Impulcifer. Would love that for testing purposes.
You can crop the tail of an impulse response with a tool in Impulcifer. See here for use: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/recording-impulse-responses-for-speaker-virtualization.890719/page-17#post-15425167 Not sure if it's going to output to the right channels but JaakkoP created it so I'm sure he can help you out if you need. DH++ is also my favorite for synthetic HRIR's. Has the most home theater feel sitting on my sofa for me. Also gets the center channel a bit out of your head.
Been doing lots of testing with various methods of getting 7.1 output to via Bluetooth. I have low volume challanges due to the HRIR's I've created with Impucifer. Even my SXFI Amp which outputs 370mW has trouble driving 32ohm headphones to reference volumes for movies. I can't use any additional preamp gain in EAPO, I'm already at the limit. To put it into perpsective - volume 15 is sufficient to reach reference volume (85db/105db peaks) without my BRIR. With HRIR even 100 won't get there. So I...

So I use Voicemeeter as a kind of "gain staging" where it's a further pre-amp - I get sufficient volume this way because it permits 12db boost with no clipping....
Been trying this out again. I used an external USB transmitter that registeres as a sound card in windows, i.e. doesn't use the windows bluetooth stack. The dongle I used is the Avantree DG60 As a result it connects at 48khz not 44.1khz. And the prologic mixer works great! So even with resampling the files it just didn't work at 44.1khz. Not sure what the issue is. But it's nothing inherent in Voicemeeter or VB Cable. It's the sampling rate. VB Audio Cable also works - you just set the sampling rate...

Just added the 44khz files I resampled to the convo folder and it now audio works on my BT headphones but it doesn't sound like any processing is being applied. Will report back, odd. Won't work with voicemeeter either. Even the IIR filters won't work - I guess the channel mapping is a little different with BT headphones through VB Audio cable or Voicemeeter.
