Dirac Looking for Partners for App-Based Solution Said to Boost Headphone Sound

Swedish sound company Dirac, known for room correction tuning technology, announced at CES Tuesday a digital audio solution for mobile devices. It’s said to reveal subtle beats, tones and sounds typically lost in headphones and to bring the higher definition content “outside the listener’s head” with a more spacious listening experience. Customized app-based algorithms boost details in music to “unleash the full potential of the headphones,” regardless of the audio codec used, said the company. Dirac is in talks with smartphone and music streaming companies about embedding the digital audio tech in products and platforms with the first partnership expected to be announced this quarter, it said.
