If the K-stereo’s processing algorithm can do the same with digital stream then it will be wonderful. Though my ultimate 9and very personal) goal would be do not do it “before DAC” but to find a way to “smartly” randomize phases and inject ambiance at… speaker level. I did some experiments in past with artificial faking RT60 and cross-injecting of my right and left the channels. Something was very promising, something was not good… I still am planning to return to this subject in future….

It's not been until I've had the TU-X1 that I've learnt the difference between soundstage as audiophiles usually understand it, and simply imaging. It also has been a very useful tool to get what's the "tone" of an orchestra. If I only could have just "right" speakers in my room... Anyway, going back to the subject of the thread, why would you implement the ambiance retrieval at speaker level and not at the "pre DAC" one? After all we'd like to have from CD's something closer to what TU-X1 does.
