Ambiophonic Transcoder reads audio data from any input-mixer/device (e.g. "What-U-Hear"/Stereo Mix, SPDIF-IN, LINE-IN) and plays them back through the output mixer (e.g. LINE-OUT, SPDIF-OUT). Take audio samples from the computers sound card inputs to apply the Recursive Ambiophonic Crosstalk Elimination.

In comparison to the Ambiophonic Audio Player (APP) which takes WAV audio files to apply the Recursive Ambiophonic Crosstalk Elimination (RACE).

Now you're able to enjoy Ambiophonics for any source by connecting for example your CD/SACD/LP or iPod to your computers line-in and your HiFi equipment or PC-Speakers to the sound cards line-out jack.
If you have more than one sound device or "virtual sound devices"/"virtual cables" then you can use your favorite music player (e.g. iTunes, foobar2000, ...) and configure the Ambiophonic Transcoder in a way that it takes the input from the stereo mix (What-U-Hear) to play the audio to the selected output mixer/device.

Installation:
The Ambiophonic Transcoder has been developed in JAVA to assure maximum cross platform compatibility for Windows, Mac and Linux. There is no need for any installation, just unzip and launch the JAR-File.

Setting up your listening environment:
1. Place your speakers in a separation angle of around 20 . The speakers do need a good phase response, but even simple single driver PC-Speaker work well.
2. Make sure that you activate the audio input and output devices you want to use by applying the appropriate operating system configuration. Furthermore, it is essential to adjust the input-level to avoid overmodulation of the input signal.
3. Launch the Ambiophonic Transcoder without changing the attenuation and delay
4. Click activate to start the sampling and play back process
5. Feed in some music, like vocal/instrumental recordings where you know that those contain inter-aural time differences (ITD)
6. Move along the median of the speakers until you find the best sound stage experience

Requirements:
