    Is this the right way to use Dirac Live to correct 0-300 Hz?

    Hello, If I set a curtain to, say, 300hz in Dirac Live, will it adjust the overall level of the rest of the spectrum (301-20khz) to be in average level with the EQ'd section (0-300hz)? According to Dirac's visualization when setting the curve, the EQ'd section (0-300hz) appears to be much lower...

    Stacking two or more digital volume controls?

    Hi, there. Is there any theoretical downside between using a single digital control vs stracking two, achieving the same SPL? Scenario 1: using software volume control at 100% and controlling volume only via windows (digitally). Scenario 2: lowering windows volume control AND software volume...

    Avoiding intersample clipping on digital vs analog volume controlled DACs

    Hello, I've read a bit about intersample clipping and I understand that one may avoid it by reducing the software playback volume, normalizing the volume on the player or reducing overall windows volume control (when available). Two questions come to mind: 1) In the case of a DAC with digital...

    (Tidal) If not decoding MQA, what's the difference between Master and Redbook albums?

    Hello, If i'm not unfolding MQA, whats the difference between playing identical two albums, one being Master and the other not, assuming both come from the same release and master tape? Is the "base" FLAC file from the MQA version any different from the FLAC of the "normal" version? I mean...
