    does anyone have the good old Dirac Live linear target curve?

    For many years, I've used Dirac Live on a miniDSP nanoAVR HD for a 5.1 system where all connections were HDMI. I set it up once and it worked flawlessly for a long time. Recently, I moved things around, so a re-calibration was necessary. Also, the nanoAVR HD is not supported anymore, the old...

    Arcam Sa30, NAD M10V3, Yamaha R-N1000A or something else? Purchase decision

    Hello! I would be very happy if you could help me with a purchase decision. I would like to decide between the Arcam SA30, NAD M10 V3 and the Yamaha RN-1000a. But maybe you have another idea. My setup is too complicated, at least for my wife: Musical Fidelity M3i, Minidsp DDRC24 with Dirac Live...

    Room correction options that wont ruin the sound of tube amp?

    I am buying a 2 channel stereo system that consists of an integrated tube amplifier, and a streamer/dac that has no room correction, and speakers, where all these sound great together. My brother also has the exact same system and it sounds great both at the stereo shop and his house. The...

    Do these measurements and corrections look kosher to you?

    Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster here. About 4 months ago I took the dive and purchased Dirac Live RCS. I had just moved houses, upgraded to a new pair of monitors, and put all my acoustic treatments up. Anyway, I've been living with it since then and I can totally hear what its...

    Software for 3-way active XO

    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...

    Question about CSL UMIK 1/2 vs Earthworks M23R

    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...

    Coaxial Nearfield: Genelec vs Kef vs Kali

    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...

    Integrated amplifier advice

    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...

    Best nearfields under $5k all-in?

    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...

    Dirac Measurements While in the Room

    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...

    Dirac Live measurements on iOS

    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,

    What is Dirac/DLBC doing to my sound ?

    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...

    Any HDMI Preamp with Coaxial output for less than 1500$?

    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...

    Dirac Reviews

    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...

    I have a plan... or so ;)

    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...

    Second opinion on my measurements

    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...
