Theoretica Applied Physics BACCH-SP adio 3D Sound Processor

Around 1996 I bought my first real stereo system up in Toronto. I think I spent about $7K. I remember describing the system to my work colleague and she was shocked at what I paid. She said that I was crazy to pay so much and I countered that it was a lifetime purchase. I said I would only upgrade the system if something crazy and new came about. This was the time of CD's and perfect sound forever.

My hypothetical argument to her for a future crazy upgrade was, if say in 20 years, they come up with a way to project in 3-D the performers into your room. I said I would be all over that system. Well I was wrong about the amount of upgrades I would do over the next 30 years, but I may have been correct to predict that 3-D performer thing.

BACCH is not marketing hype. There is actual scientific basis behind the implementation.
BACCH is partially based on Ambiophonics, and it is basically ambiophonics + head tracking. I use ambiophonics DSP in my listening setup, and it is fantastic. Imaging solidifies quite a fair bit, even with cheap computer speakers; clarity improves (depending on quality of speakers and setup). On my Audience Ones, which is already an imaging champ, the sound stage is wide and deep with excellent layering.

I imagine with head tracking and additional DSP, the BACCH should be even more impressive.
