room correction

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...

Dear ASR community, I'm a new member. Most of the time I listen to music from Qobuz, with my integrated streaming amplifier Yamaha R-N803D, feeding a pair of Kef LS50 Meta and the active subwoofer Kef KC62. I've been thinking of upgrading to Nad c399, but I'm not fully convinced and I shall...

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...

Hey all - so I’m totally new to PEQ/correction, etc. Done a bunch of reading and searching but still not exactly clear on this and how to generate the files. Here is what I’d like to do: I have an Eversolo A8 and I’d like to use its DSP to do room correction when I’m playing digital. I have...

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...

Just saw this yesterday on RME forums and thought it was exciting news: (full source) Preview: I can only hope this functionality finds its way to Babyface and ADI-2 DAC successors some day :) EDIT [2024-01-25]: Seems UCX II support was added as well; updated title accordingly.

This thread is mostly directed at @OCA to continue YouTube comment section discussions in a little easier format, but maybe it will be helpful to others. First system I'm working on is my office desktop setup, in a carpeted bedroom that's approximately 4.7m x 4.1m x 2.9m. I live just under...

Hi all! I’m thinking about adding room correction to my setup and am wondering what’s the best way to go about it? My searches have led me to a number of things that seem like they might be out of date so I figured I would just ask. I currently have a NAS and a Logitech Music Server...

I currently have the XLR output of the Gustard DAC going to a Buckeye amp and it works well. The way I integrated the sub is with high level (speaker wires) since I don't have a receiver with LFE output and DSP room correction and speaker volume adjustments. I have the sub crossover dialed in...

I am moving soon to a new house and will have a new listening room that requires me to change to shorter speakers. The room is about 40m2 and has 3.2m high ceilings. There will be no acoustic treatment and I am looking to move from my current passive speaker setup (Focal Aria 948 and Onkyo...

Hi all - I'm looking for some advice on what appears to be an impossible situation - how to create a pretty good audio experience in a horrible room setup / layout. Diagram is below, but here's some background: - We're only worried about Audio... no AV requirements - There's a big room with...

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...

New ARM based hardware from Trinnov for studios with "more cost-effective solutions for stereo and small surround applications" using "Trinnov’s room-correction and optimisation processing on up to six channels of audio, as well as handling bass management duties". Price TBD. I wish they could...

I was wondering if one could flatten out a microphone by inverting the frequency response found in a graph. I would like to get a taste of the result without having to buy an expensive microphone for this... There's a Superlux microphone, which is pretty cheap, but requires an audio interface...

The question is serious, and is aimed at anyone with sensible hypotheses. In a market so saturated with dacs of all kinds, where a new photocopied dac comes out every month, all with the same functions, all with the same characteristics, how is it possible that none of the low-cost Chinese...

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...

Longtime ASR lurker here -- couldn't live without the great reviews and community advice -- but first-time seller, though I have feedback on other sites and forums. This is a fully featured digital streamer and preamplifer with Anthem ARC room correction built in. You can stream via the app...

I haven't found any useful threads on this topic, so I'll start one now. All those die-hard audiophiles always claim that having a TV between your speakers can ruin the center image and soundstage. How much truth is to that? How large will be the difference between having a large TV (or any...

Thought I'd do a thread after the comments on the smsl dac that reminded me of a discussion after the minidsp flex. To be specific one on a chart about av interfaces, featuring both AVRs, dsp dacs and the likes of the Nad M33. I remember thinking: that's odd to place the minidsp flex on a chart...

Hi there. Hoping for some help to upgrade our lounge system. I am seeking the best possible sound (subjective, of course) for music and TV/film in a 2.1 system on a budget of £1k or under. I already have a BK XXLS400 sub so this is for the receiver and speakers. I'm not interested in surround...
