dirac

I have a music PC running Windows 11. On it, I have Roon and Dirac. Roon sends the signal to a virtual soundcard that Dirac created, and Dirac sends the signal to my Holo Audio May DAC connected to a USB port. I would like XO DSP software to sit between Dirac and the USB port. I know I need a...

Hi All, I have a question about downsides of using CSL UMIK-1 vs UMIK-2 vs Earthworks M23R for Home Theatre setup calibration using DIRAC / DART or just manual EQ with REW. I believe that CSL UMIK-1 tracks pretty much the same as Earth M23R, but I also read that due to fact that UMIK-1 has no...

Is Genelec really worth the money over Kali? Looking for nearfield coaxial monitors to upgrade from Adam T5V, listening distance 1.0-1.2 meter, desktop use directly flanking a 32" monitor, typical SPL <80dB. I specifically want coaxial to optimize response as I move slightly around in my very...

Hi all, after allot of lurking around I've decided to create an account. Mostly because I could use some insights on buying a new integrated amp. My current setup consist of the following: - Harman Kardon BDS, used as a pre amp for digital sources. - Sony ES integrated stereo amp, used as...

Hi folks, My KEF LS50W Nocturnes crapped out ($2500, active) and I'm looking for a replacement. My request is that these are: - nearfields (sitting ~3ft away), - functional close to the wall (3-5 inches of separation). - active, or if passive, the price of a good amp can fit in the $5k I...

This question possibly has an obvious answer that I am missing, but when calibrating Dirac, should you be sitting in your listening position? I’m new to correction software and have been trying it out for my stereo mastering room. I’m a little worried about my head/body affecting/absorbing...

Hey everyone, I have an extra Focal Astral 16 in stock ready to ship. The MSRP is $19,999, and I'm offering this unit at 40% off $12,000 shipping and processing fees included. Think of the Astral as a receiver version of the StormAudio ISP Elite. Astral's identical cousin, StormAudio I.ISP...

Hey community, Has anyone else tried using their iPad to run Dirac Live measurements on a compatible AVR and export filters? I’m unable to export due to an error message every time. Thought I’d reach out here in case someone else hit the same problem and found a solution. Thanks,

Hello, I have been tweaking my new AVR (Integra DRX 8.4) setup and it has Dirac and DLBC options also. Firstly, I optimized my placement the best I could without any room correction and then I used room correction to see if gets any better. I would like to understand why Dirac is behaving the...

I try to improve my 2.0 streaming layout: AppleTV -> hdmi -> TV -> hdmi eArc ->Bluesound Node N130 -> Coax (+12v trigger) -> MiniDSP Flex Digital -> Coax -> Amp (Audiolab 9000 with 9038Pro DAC) Pros: I like the sound of my Amp and it has a good DAC (ESS 9038 PRO) in the last step before...

MiniDSP SHD - Unit is in great shape, and works perfectly. I've just decided to go in a different direction. Firmware and Volumio fully updated and ready to go. Fully transferrable Dirac Live license with a simple e-mail to MiniDSP. $825 shipped and PayPal G&S. miniDSP is proud to...

Has anyone seen a quantitative list (e.g. a poll) of user ratings for Dirac? I ask because I am astonished at the difference between what I hear versus what is publicly tossed about by professional reviewers (pundits, magazines, audio stores etc.). Nearly all rave about Dirac (including from...

Hi Folks, I like to hear some opinions on my plan. I recently thrown away my NAD C658. A Topping D70 Pro Octo took its place. Now I need Dirac Live or REW back ;) So, to avoid up/downsampling of audio in the miniDSP Flex or somehow, I like to complicate things... ;) N130 -> USB-Out -> Topping...

Hello, I did some analysis of my 2 channel setup, soon I would also like to use it as a theatre setup also. Room is a 12x16, there is a serious destructive interference between 45hz and 60hz, I think one way to solve this is using 2 x Subwoofers. Let me know what you think ? Here's a...

Anyone here got this running ? I am looking for a fan less build, a multi channel DAC. Currently I am looking for 5.2 channel support at minimum. I want to get rid of my old avr but not interested in AVRs with Dirac DLBC support. I have have built GPU HTPC and used them before. Looking...

I inquired about this to minidsp, but I haven't received a reply yet. I have a question for those who use these DSPs (if I had it, I would test it out, but I haven't purchased it yet). There are a few things I am curious about. I would appreciate it if anyone with experience and knowledge of...

I have been contemplating trying room acoustics correction in my system for quite some time and wondered what would be the 'best way' for me to add it to my quite generic system? Dirac seems to be quite prevalent in their field, perhaps because of their marketing in the field of domestic HiFi...

Hello there, I have been struggling with how to add DSP to my current setup. I was hoping to receive some help brainstorming. Current Hardware: LG CX TV Minidsp 2x4HD Umik1 Old Yamaha receiver RXV2500 PC 7.2 speakers Plan: I would like to get TV earc audio to PC where I would like to run Dirac...

Hey guys, I've spent a lot of time Optimizing my Speaker Positioning using REW and after weeks of tweaking my current set-up has the following psychoacoustically smoothed frequency response at the listening position as measured by a Umik-1 microphone: As you can see I've got a...

Hi folk, I will soon receive a pair of PSI Audio A23m which are phase compensated and have a flat frequency response. I know a acoustic treatment is a better option but more difficult for my living room. Does some of you tried Dirac Live with these kinds of speakers ? Does it work well ? The...
