a UK company called Astro make the Astro MIXAMP, one of the few headphone amps that I know of that do proper "Dolby Headphone Surround" with 4 x AA rechargeable batteries giving 12 hours or so playtime :-) www.astrogaming.co.uk/a30

>Maybe we should contact "Peter Grooff: Product Manager Headzone Christian - I love your style :-) Maybe I should do it really. I speak (Swiss-)German and thus no problem for me to get in touch with a product manager of a German corporation. I have also the intention to call Precide SA (the makers of the Ergo AMT headphones). They are located in the very south of Switzerland, but the company has the reputation to be hard to deal with. I had this idea already in 2010, but time was the limiting factor and I've moved in Dec. 2010. Maybe more luck this year. There's also a HiFi exhibition in Switzerland this year. If I have the change to go there, I'll do it.

until I can get the super dooper JVC Headphone Surround model SU-DH1, I shall make do with my Sennheiser DSP360 so I bought a 9V Battery (PP3) Holder yesterday and soldered a 2.1mm DC plug on the end of the fly leads so that I could power up the DSP360 and watch BU (Bourne Ultimatum) on the train in glorious VDS (Virtual Dolby Surround) using the heaphone jack on my iPod, then I tested it out, it really was pretty good the VDS that Sennheiser licensed from Toltec all those years ago So I was looking forward to my journey back home and watching BU ............................. today - so I just watched Matt Damon in "Bourne Ultimatum" on the train coming back home, the iPad2 goes a great job of playing movies in H.264, but using the headphone output with my ATH-ES7 phones is very compressed, almost bearable, but not very engaging, especially for a movie like BU, but with the DSP360 in situ the soundtrack is bigger, the LF is there, the noises of Waterloo Station, and some fabulous sound effects that are plastered all over the movie can now be heard, not exactly 5.1 Dolby Pro Logic, but if you have an iPad, try an listen to one and watch a movie like Top Gun or BU in H.264, you will be impressed, especially if you are on the plane or train. make sure if you burn a DVD to H.264 using Handbrake that you use the iPad profile, that way the surround dolby is still preserved, and the Toltec DSL can do its things and give you VDS in your cans trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/BuiltInPresetsmaybe I don't need to lust after that SU-DH1 after all !

the Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 headphones are great for travelling, good sound and they don't leak, so fellow passengers don't look at you ! Attachments:
