I'm reading as well. Good to see some action on this board. I read through QSNDF's 96 annual report, but don't remember any Asia manufacturing plants or such. They do, of course, have Asian customers in the OEMs. One point of why I'm into QSNDF instead of SPAZ or SRSL is the advertised efficiency of their algorithm. Having done years of computer program optimization, one looks for every advantage in speed. The PC game writers are interested mainly in graphics and the 3D audio will be a drawing card, but not the main feature. QSNDF has stated that their algorithm utilizes of order 10% CPU versus about 20% for the other folks (this is from memory, so correct me if I'm wrong). If I were designing a game, that's what I'd want to hear. Then I could add the sound field with minimal effect on the graphic response (which is the major measure of user feedback). Bottom line - a fantastic sound field is not worth it if it produces a noticeable drain on the gameplay. jg
