Cool Do DTS and LPCM headphone surround systems exisy

I like my Turtle Beach headsets. There's just two problems I have with them.

Both deal with DTS and LPCM encoded movies. And this is a fairly big problem. One time I calculated that 65 to 70% of my master Blu-ray movies, either 2D or 3D, are DTS and another 5% were lpcm.


1 is when playing on a non video game system movie player anything from a laser disc 2 a 3D / 4K player that isn't the Xbox One like the one upstairs when we communally watch,. DTS movies are silent and lpcm movies are we due to 2.0 .

2 is a perception I have that when I do use video game sound conversion systems found on the Xbox 360 HD DVD,. The PS3 Blu-ray. And the Xbox One 4K plus 3D, using the DTS communal to Dolby communal, and then going from Dolby communal to Dolby headphone using a Turtle Beach product,. Does not quite have the same pop as native Dolby movies.

All Native Dolby movies work fine when going through a Turtle Beach. Using the Xbox One's optional Dolby Atmos headphone decoder and turning off decode mode on headphones makes Atmos movies sound even better then standard Dolby movies

But I tried all three of these with the atmos decoder and all these failed: DTS movies LPCM movies and even movies encoded in lower forms of Dolby from 7.1 to Pro logic.

Turtle Beach considers the fact that it works which satellite systems broadcast TV and non video game disc players as a side effect of the decoders.

nowadays Turtle Beach and other competitors are moving away from the external decoder model and just relying on the muscle of the game machine to pull off the surround conversion.

Is it just me or does anyone else know is that too? If so what do you guys recommend for lpcm and DTS movies?

Also keep in mind my communal machine which doesn't have communal sound just multiple headphones, does that do DTS to Dolby or lpcm to Dolby conversions. So I'm looking for some physical hardware that could do DTS headphone and lpcm to headphone. The second one would come in handy on Nintendo Wii u and switch games.
