Relax a bit.. :)
BACCH4Mac Intro was already available for around 1000 euros. Then the windows plugin came with a limited time offer for just under half the price. The Windows plugin does the same as the BACCH4Mac Intro software, but the latter can be expanded with other modules. I first tried...
If implemented well, €1000 is negligible compared to what people typically spend on network players, cables, amplifiers, and speakers, considering the value it delivers.
I am using a 31Hz sinewave test tone to wake up the subs, if needed.
The volumeknob on my subs is set at 45%, so they wake up at low volumes. They usually wake up at normal volume with normal music without any problems.
The M66 must be a marvel, since the M33 is 100% resolving already :)
Anyhow, I assume you compared with equalized dB (measured)? And listened in the same room, same speakers and if possible, blind? To be sure that you are not fooling yourself?
There are more threads about Bacch, but since this is the Bacch4Mac thread, I'll post here. I started using Bacch with "normal" speakers. However, I liked the Bacch effect so much that a friend told me that the Bacch effect is better with more directive speakers. So, I purchased large Audio...
Good to know. I was unaware of this.
BTW: I use Bacch4Mac for a while now. Recently I changed from "normal" speakers to huge ribbon bipole speakers with loads of absorption behind this speakers to avoid the backwave. And I use subwoofers.
Result:
A very wide and deep "3D bubble" image, larger...
I agree about the more pleasant effect with normal (stereo) recordings, but I am not sure if I agree with the (not so) accurate reproduction due to Bacch. I've been listening to music in a few setups with mainly direct sound (in highly acoustically adapted rooms) without and with Bacch. I...
Speakers - DALI Epicon 6 (slightly toed in)
Distance - between speakers 227 CM, Distance L-Speaker/R-Speaker to MLP: 245CM
RT - 0.343s*
XTC - uBacch for MAC
The effect of uBacch is clearly audible in almost all music.
*even though my room has a lot of acoustic treatments, 0.343 is still...
Thank you for your reply and explanation.
I think my question was not very clear. You hear a big improvement now that you use ORC. But compared to what situation? A situation where you used a DSP like DIRAC or something?
I use uBacch also, but not ORC and I use DIRAC for bass controll...
I am using the ubacch4mac Intro for a week now. When I configure ubacch (enter the distances) the test signal of the Right speaker is obvious far from the speaker, close to my right ear. The test signal on the Left speaker is not close to my left ear and remains close to the left speaker. Is...
I know this about Roon, and I see no development in the near future. I tried the VST plugin in Jriver and the ubacch plugin for Windows en Roon Core on my laptop. I made it work, but it was not a decent solution. This is why i choose for the bacch4mac solution. Expensive, but good.
