Is there a way to invert polarity on a single channel to deal with recordings having only one channel with incorrect polarity?

If not, the option is to invert one speaker connection.  Recommendations appreciated.
one question, do you want to achieve it purely in the digital domain or are analogue suggestions included ?
I think you can only change polarity of both speakers with a Devialet Expert, not just one channel.

My interest is the digital domain

That's all I have found.  Hoping someone smarter than I am can find a solution.

Out of interest, how did you discover that this particular track had incorrect polarity in one channel?

You could swap the speaker plugs on one side, as a very low tech solution. A bit drastic I know for just one recording!

I was going to suggest swapping the speaker connectors but you are braver than I. Wink

The recording in question is part of a large set.  It exhibits the usual out of phase anomalies: reduced bass, unstable imaging, and an overall cloudy sound.  Comparison on another system which allows single channel phase change confirmed suspicions.

This is the only solution I know, but I am hoping for something more convenient.
