I tried it out for about 10 minutes and I didn't think it was that great, I mean I guess it's better than regular stereo for headphones but it didn't create the "illusion" of 5.1 as it stated it would. For example in Pearl Harbor when some went across the screen from FL to C to FR, it sounded fine with speakers but when I put on the headphones it seemed to jump from left to right and not in time with what was happening on the screen. But they said it was experimental so I hope it gets better but even if it did I don't think it will be adopted very well because I just takes up unnecessary space, and I didn't put all this money into my system so that I could put on a pair of headphones. If it needs to be quiet when I play a movie all activate Midnight mode or just not watch it at all, or wait till later to play it. They say it doesn't need a special decoder but the Denon 5803 has the Dolby Headphone logo on it's front panel and no other receiver does is that just because it came out after the format did, or does it have something special that no other processor has for DH (Dobly Headphones).
What were you impressions with DH, did you find it satisfactory , did you think it was better than 5.1 and your gonna sell your system and just watch Pearl Harbor everyday for the rest of your life because it so good. Or did you think DH was as bad as the overacting in that movie?
Another thing I noticed was that on the couple scenes I watched some of them seemed as if their voices were recored in a studio and the dialogue didn't sound natural. Like on the second disc where the girl (Eveleyn)asks Major Jackson if see can be in the radio tower when the give the reports on the Doolittle project for voice sounded very unatural might have been my heaphones but I doubt it. Did anyone else notice this?
