    adjust Audyssey past 500Hz?

    Hi everyone - Here is a quick snap and question about Audyssey. I have the app downloaded and have been cutting off EQ at 500Hz as I have read. But... should I potentially adjust my own curve to tame a spike around 600Hz? I know I could just do it, upload and re-run REW to check, but was...

    Marantz Cinema 70S and MultEQ-X questions

    Hi, I have been wanting to revise my current setup into something with the ability to have room correction. I have been considering the Eversolo DMP A6/A8 with a Purifi/Hypex amp. I’m now questioning if I would not be better off with something like the Cinema 70S as a processor into the same...

    Will an external DAC sound better/different than my AVR DAC?

    Hi everyone. The thread's subject is almost clickbaity as I expect responses of "there is no difference" as I have read on numerous posts here. However, I am asking more from a theoretical perspective. Most responses I have read are similar to the following: the DAC conversion in the external...

    Audyssey XT32 vs REW comparison

    I have a question about those who use Audyssey and measure their results afterwards with REW. In short, are my results normal (below)? I'm a newbie on all this, forgive any dumb questions. I have a Marantz SR6015 receiver with three identical Ascend Sierra-LX speakers. (The center is on its...

    Dolby Volume Users? Solution for Loudness Compensation to Improve Low Level Listening?

    Looking at a few different solutions from Audessey, Monoprice, and JBL to solve the low level listening issue: Speakers that keep bass levels relatively higher at low volumes sound better at low levels that any system of any size at any cost in any room I've ever heard, when compared to systems...

    Audyssey Manual Calibration “OCA’s REW + Audyssey Awesomeness”

    The other day I mentioned elsewhere this wonderful video by @OCA. It covers many topics but it has one little trick that is so genius that I think it deserves its own thread. In short it is to make Audyssey believe that there is nothing to correct about your speakers and your room. This turns...

    Important Spectral Balances For Movie Sound

    Let's assume a well calibrated, good sounding setup with well controlled acoustics, a flat frequency response, maybe even gently sloped to a finely crafted house curve. Despite a good system - according to measurements - maybe some are familiar with one of these sound anomalies: While the...

    Out with the old....Combining multichannel HT and critical 2 channel audio

    Prior to having children, I had the opportunity to create (for me) a very nice system. This was when Rocky Mountain AudioFest brought everything to my neighborhood to audition. What I ended up with was: A PC running Roon with a Lynx DA board providing two channel output processed on the PC by...

    AVR with Room EQ and using external DAC

    I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now and thought I'd post. I'm finally upgrading my existing system. I listen to streaming music (classic rock and jazz) at moderate sound levels and some movies. I've been listening to music as an "audiophile-lite" for almost 50 years. I worked as a young...

    Audyssey-like Dynamic EQ without an AVR?

    Hello everyone - in my first post here, I'd like to thank you all for this forum! My main listening space has a 2.1 setup with an Audyssey XT32 capable AVR. It does a real good job with bass management, and there is the bass-happy smile on my face :) regardless of which volume I'm listening at...

    WebApp for Modifying Audyssey EQ

    Hi I am going to start hacking on a webapp to modify Audyssey EQ settings (like Ratbuddysey but.., not in C#). Was hoping to gauge interest. I have a lot going on so will squeeze it in here and there, but community interest is obviously a big push. I personally can't believe Audyssey's mobile...

    Audyssey Multieq-X: Real bi-amping with active crossover

    Denon AVRs have an option for bi-amping the main speakers. My understanding is this is the typical “passive bi-amping” where the same signal is sent to both, as there is no crossover functionality implemented by default. However: * Denon AVR already have active speaker/subwoofer crossovers. *...

    Verification of Audyssey’s XT32 results

    My first post on ASR! Recently I purchased a Denon AVR-3700H receiver based on amirm’s review of the unit and also his positive impression of the Audyssey Room Equalization system (reviewed separately) that is included in the Denon AVR-3700H. One aspect that piqued my curiosity is his opinion...

    Royal EQ Rumble! Objective measurements of Dirac vs Audyssey vs REW+EAPO vs Nothing

    I have always been interested in comparing the results of equalizing my speakers using REW, Audyssey, and Dirac and taking objective measurements for the comparison. I am not someone who is a validated trained listener, but I will also give a brief subjective opinion. First off, my setup is as...

    Any utility in manually adjusting Audyssey MultEQ? Do you think my frequency response improved?

    I have an older Marantz SR7002 which has Audyssey Multi EQ built in. Using the generic mic and auto calculated filters and then comparing it with REW and my UMIK-1 it gives me horrendous corrections in areas that certainly do not need correction. It looks like this is quite an old version of...
