Cool Recommendation for Turtle Beach liver needing DTS/LPCM solution

The good thing about Turtle Beach is there designed for picking out directions very accurately and obviously. along with Triton they were the original battle testers of Dolby surround as a game information conveyance device.

In games since most games understand Dolby the surround sound is very realistic and accurate. So are movies, but....

They only seem accurate and dynamic if the laser disc DVD HD DVD or Blu-ray is negatively encoded in Dolby. Unfortunately for me 65 to 70% of my blu-rays are DTS.

Another unfortunate thing is that most modern surround headphones use USB and rely on a processor within a video game console to convert Dolby to DTS or DTS to Dolby and then surround processor. And my 4K player does not have USB out for sound.

When I use DTS to Dolby conversion within game consoles like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and then run through my Turtle Beach DSS there is sound but again that is directionally dynamic or accurate.

Also if I ever find within my thrift store hunts a DTS encoded LaserDisc there's no way I can play it without an external decoder because there's no way you could hook up an input from a laser disc to a console even the Xbox One and know it's going to convert right.

I was ridiculed by the people at lddb.com. 4 / Lee talkin about headphone surround even when people invited me to topic on that website specifically labeled as "headphones". unfortunately it's hard to describe my situation correctly without referring to it. And only recently I thought of the strategy of using web links to my own website the tell the backstory so I don't repeat typing the backstory over and over and don't repeat people having skim through it.

Finally the Wii U and switch use LPCM 5.1 and 7.1 respectively. I can't seem to get a headphone surround signal out of a Wii U game using a wiimote or a switch game that is docked. The default headphone parts do convey a good surround. Unfortunately they're not Universal.

Then there's the issue of chatting back on games for the Wii U and switch and 3ds.

I don't know how the rest of the world does it accept I know that most of the rest of the world uses communal speakers. I was one of the few people that mention headphone surround as a substitute to be cheaper and more efficient and more versatile that communal surround.

Unfortunately the way the market is it's at the cost of universality.

I was thinking there might be headphones specific decoders on larger surround sound equipment, and I be generic because the only surround sound equipment I know of that I can easily describe is a Turtle Beach DSS as a Dolby Digital to Dolby Headphone converter.

I don't care if you guys treat me like a baby like talking to an 8 year old talking about surround sound equipment. Because outside of the Turtle Beach equipment I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm buying other stuff.
