Headphone surround / personal theater as cheap alternative to communal home theater - Blu-ray Forum

Hello I've been having some interesting things over the past 10 years trying to get a surround sound system in the house.

The main movie room is very asymmetrical with a sloping roof and other weird things which makes surround sound a pain.

When my friend appeared on his second video game game show he was introduced to the products of one of the sponsors Triton headsets. They gave virtual surround sound where you could actually pinpoint which direction and distance in three dimensional space things are coming from and going to motion.

I asked if that would work for movies he said why not give it a try and it does work for movies.

I bought the other brand, Turtle Beach. I don't know where Triton's gone but Turtle Beach still makes stuff but they fundamentally change their business.

it looks like Turtle Beach is more focused on the contour of their headphones unless focused on the pinpoint accuracy by admitting that their headphones are stereo headphones and they have to buy an Xbox Dolby Atmos app and or Xbox DTS X app in order to get accurate surround sound.

I found for like 5 to $10 on eBay many times a Turtle Beach DSS which converts Dolby 5.1 and 7.1 into two track stereo mixed in a way that sounds like surround in headphones. The beautiful thing is in communal speakers it sounds just like a regular two speaker mix but in headphones it sounds surround.

the only problem is in DTS movies I get total silence and I want to get the same surround sound effect.

I'm one of the few people who actually look at the stats on the Blu-ray and find DTS is a big turnoff mail because I don't have the right equipment to decode it.

Can someone find me a cheap decoder that can convert both DTS, Dolby and LPCM languages into 2.0 surround mix headphones.

Is there such a thing as just a decoder box without all the extra doodads that just converts Dolby DTS and lpcm into two track headphone mix surround?

I can't find such a thing that does all three languages.
