Yeah, looks like I was wrong about the 3D source material bit. Never the less, Logitech don't need to do anything to support material processed by this filter. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ? I SAID ALL OF THEM !

Why would Logitech need to do anything ? The whole point of the technology is that it takes some sort of 3D source material and outputs a stereo audio stream that makes the soundstage sound 3D when played on two speakers. There is nothing for Logitech to do to support this. -- andynormancx

I was just listening to the audio article at the beginning, and the inventor said, By the way, the filter is not adding anything; *it's just taking away crosstalk*. If that's correct, then yes, it sounds like a company could implement this technology with a filter. -- Zonker92 Squeezebox

Yes, again, it sounds like a filter that could be used in any digital system: Drawing on some of the math in plasma physics, Choueiri devised a digital algorithm that cancels crosstalk transparently without changing the tonal quality of the sound. The brain naturally does the rest, allowing
