As Oppo describes it: "Dirac HD is a combination of hardware and software technologies usually only found in high-end audio and cinema sound systems. With Dirac, you will clearly hear a difference, and become immersed in music the way the artist originally wanted to express it."
As Dirac describes it:
http://www.dirac.se/en/technologies/dirac-hd-sound/overview.aspxDirac is a very serious software company in Denmark specializing in high end quality room correction. They design audio systems for the big luxury car brands like Bentley, BMW, etc. But even better than that, Dirac is so good that our own resident golden-ear audiophile, hometheaterdoc himself, plans to use their home audio software Dirac Live to run his new speakers. I was a beta tester for the software, it is impressive and I'll be using it when/if I get an audio PC.
Who knows how much of the core Dirac technology will be used in the new phone, considering that it only has one or two drivers the size of a pinky fingernail. But it does imply that if they are licensing the software technology for better sound they might as well let it out of the phone by employing some of their in house knowledge about quality analog design.
Dirac HD is also available as an app for iPhone.
