What is the format of the sofa file? And what is the purpose, since it also includes the room simulations whereas most other popular tools only use sofa for HRTF's.

Exporting the SOFA and trying to load it into Virtuoso Standalone gives the error that it isn't a simple free field HRIR. That being said, that is (for some odd reason) the generic error for SOFA loading and means something was unexpected with the metadata.

In addition, to add a request, would it be possible to bypass the room simulation and export only the SOFA after compensation and correction were applied, (for example, export a SOFA file with corrected elevation or diffuse field EQ).

Granted, it's not exactly the target goal of ASH, but it would still be an immensely helpful feature as currently there is nothing else that has the ease but also functionality that ASH has regarding editing and applying compensation to a SOFA file. Particularly for custom SOFA files, which are often generated or created with different tools that do not have such features.
