I have a flex digital that currently sits before my DAC and then a separate preamp before my power amps. I have the flex volume set to -10db to compensate for any boosting done by Dirac. If I have it any higher I sometimes hear clipping. Does this latest update to the ASRC volume mean I’ll be...

My miniDSP Flex has 4 outputs. They're all digital though which is why I would need a second DAC for my subwoofer. Output 1 is going to my Chord DAC > Poweramps > L+R speakers and Output 3 is going to a BlueSound Node 2i > Subwoofer. Volume would be controlled digitally with the miniDSP Flex...

What's the process, when using REW, to set subwoofer delay? Also, have you experienced any issues with your Flex where it just stops outputting audio? This has happened to me a few times and I've needed to unplug it from the mains then back in again to get it working. I'm connecting to it with...

My initial experience with the miniDSP Flex was a little underwhelming. I started with this signal chain: miniDSP Flex > DAC > Preamp > Poweramps > Speakers (L+R and Sub). I use a Rel subwoofer hi-level connection from the speaker terminals on the poweramps. I completed some measurements with...

I've done some room measurements of my speakers in conjunction with both my Rel Carbon Special and the Dynaudio Sub 6. Interestingly the Sub 6 appears to reach a bit lower than the Rel, at least in my room. The measurements show the Rel starting to roll off at about 35hz and it's quite a steep...

Would this DAC be good enough?

Ok, thanks for that. So, essentially there isn’t gonna be an audible difference between my separate analog preamp and the Flex?

Sorry, I don’t fully understand. Does that mean if I have the volume on the Flex set to -48db or lower I’ll be losing resolution?

If I was to use the volume control on the Flex would there be any issues with loss of resolution? I would essentially be attenuating the digital signal before it get’s handed off to a DAC. I don’t fully understand the debate between analog and digital attenuation so I’m curious if there would...

So, I've been playing around with REW and the miniDSP for the past few days and I've tried a few different EQ settings based on my measurements. I've measured the L+R speakers together and individually and applied EQ settings for both these scenarios. My initial impressions are that it's made...

I should be receiving my miniDSP Flex tomorrow. Any advice or tips with using REW and miniDSP would be appreciated. Initially, I'll be using the REL method of sub integration by connecting it to the outputs on my power amps. I'm planning to take measurements of my speakers and sub individually...

Thanks for all the options and insight. If I were to implement this I'm assuming I'd leave my Hugo TT2 in DAC only mode and plug the XLRs straight into the back of my power amps? Then volume would be attenuated at the source, i.e. the miniDSP?

Yes, you're correct. I've literally just order a miniDSP Flex with the digital I/O. My intention for the system chain is iPad -> miniDSP -> M Scaler/DAC -> preamp -> amp > speakers + sub. I'm not sure how I would be able to use the crossover within the miniDSP and high-pass the Dynaudios as...

Would this give me the same amount of options/correction as the SHD Studio? As an aside, I have been experimenting with an RME ADI-2 FS and it's 5 band paramedic EQ. After some prolonged listening, tweaking gain, crossover and the EQ I've managed to get my system quite well dialled in...

I do have my TV connected as well, so a software solution would only cover me for music. I'm not adverse to adding one more box so I think I'll explore this further. I've had a look at the iOS version of SoundID and it only appears to work with 4 different variants of SoundID enabled...

I've been doing some more testing today to try and remove the noise. I tried disabling the speaker distance measurements but all I could do was set them 0cm, I don't think this actually disables them. This didn't remove the noise. Also, I tried changing the input sensitivity but again, this...

I'm trying to resolve a 45hz room mode and have been advised to check out MiniDSP. I know a little bit about MiniDSP but I don't fully understand how or where it would fit into my current system. I'm currently running a Chord Hugo TT2 with M-Scaler into a Benchmark LA4 preamp that feeds 2x...

Thanks for the advice. I have read about MiniDSP but struggled to understand how that would integrate with my Chord DAC. I'll start another thread to get the ball rolling.

Have you tried it with and without speaker distance measurements? Or noticed any noise coming from your speakers?

That never occurred to me. I'll give that a try. The whole reason I'm trialing the sub 6 is because I was having trouble integrating my current rel carbon special. My room has a 45hz mode and I've struggled to get the rel sounding really great. It can very easily overwhelm my room but it needs...
