A device comprising one or more processors is configured to determine a plurality of segments for each of a plurality of binaural room impulse response filters, wherein each of the plurality of binaural room impulse response filters comprises a residual room response segment and at least one direction-dependent segment for which a filter response depends on a location within a sound field; transform each of at least one direction-dependent segment of the plurality of binaural room impulse response filters to a domain corresponding to a domain of a plurality of hierarchical elements to generate a plurality of transformed binaural room impulse response filters, wherein the plurality of hierarchical elements describe a sound field; and perform a fast convolution of the plurality of transformed binaural room impulse response filters and the plurality of hierarchical elements to render the sound field.
