My order is placed and I'm looking forward to putting the decoder through its paces.
Question: Does the Involve decoder (in any mode including synthesis mode) alter the front left and right channels? Obviously it utilizes the front channels to create the rear (and center) channels, but does it add, subtract or alter the original front L&R channels?
For that matter, do ANY of the legacy decoders (Tate, Sansuis, Lafayettes, Sonys, EV, Fosgates, etc) alter the original front channels?
Hi Wagonmaster 91
Think of the SM as a pick and place machine, nothing is added or subtracted OVERALL just placed hopefully where it should be. For example in the stereo mix you may have front stuff mixed with applause, in the decoded version the same overall content is there but the applause will be removed from the front and just present in the back.
Hope that confuses you even more!

Other than the SPEC program, I don't think any other quad or 5.1 decoder affects the front channels in synthesis modes. Anyone know?
Hi All SQ extremists
I suspect most of you that have recently purchased the SQ Vinyl package should have just got them or will in the next day or so.
Any reports????

FYI - I hadn't listened to the "Chase - Open Up Wide" track on my old SQ Surround Master set-up but just played it on my new SQ Vinyl set-up from this sampler:

Wow! The horn at the start comes through quite nicely (one speaker at a time) in all the channels...
You should see if you can get VLC to play multichannel FLAC. Or try Foobar. Then you can listen lossless instead of AC3.I received my SQ Involve unit yesterday and cannot believe my ears. My SQ and QS albums have never sounded so good, and I am finally getting clear inputs for my project of encoding to digital files on my computer so I can play these albums as they were meant to be heard on my home entertainment system. I have owned quadraphonic equipment since the seventies, and amassed a large collection of albums of every format. I have struggled mightily to digitize like I did with all my stereo albums, and this is the first time I am happy with the results. I am running my turntable through the Involve box into an E-MU 1616M sound card that allows four channel input, capturing into Sony Sound Forge Pro 10, then using Audacity to convert into AC3 files with blank center and sub-woofer channels. I am using VLC media player to playback through my Yamaha RXA3000 in direct mode.
Thank you Chucky and team for creating this beautiful solution. I can't wait for the day you add CD-4 capability!

Enjoy the SQ Vinyl - it does the trick for me...
Hey Chucky.. I only got one chip.. Did you trust me?
Hey there all,
If you haven't listened to "An introduction to the world of SQ quadraphonic sound" yet, it sounds really really good through the SM SQ
