Bluesound releases 2024 ICON streamer

I confirm that Dirac does not pass with an external DAC in USB... on the other hand zero problem in coaxial

However, from what I see here, there is no individual calibration for that microphone but rather a "generic" one.

So I got this room calibration kit and loaded the file from last link above (Room Calibration Kit Mic and USB Adapter normalized) as calibration file . Have I done right or is there another file or no calibration needed with that kit at all?

This is correct if you connect the mic to the PC. With this variant you have to load the calibration file manually. When the mic is connected to the node, the calibration file should automatically be present and displayed under the mic image. Please check whether this is also the case with the node.

So far I have to admit that Dirac has significantly improved my listening experience.
However, I am wondering if there a possibility to save dirac measurenents e.g as preset or similiar for easy access via remote control? Thanks

You can have multiple presets via the app. The current Bluesound remote doesn’t have a Dirac button but some of the NAD products do. They will probably update the remote in the future.

easy access via remote control?

The NAD BC1 has an additional EQ button compared to the Bluesound RC1. It should be possible to switch through the DL presets using the EQ button.

Do you know if the BC1 would work out of the box with the Icon? Would assume so as there is no option to assign dirac preset for custom RCs. Thanks

Edit: Typo correction

I can't tell you 100% which button functions work out of the box with the Icon. You can ask the support team here. But with a Bluesound RC1, all button functions are available for my NAD M33. It should look similar the other way around

Thank you. Maybe I will just give it a try.

Please let us know the result if you are going to try this out.
