MiniDSP all the way. If you’re willing to invest some time into REW you can get the most “controlled” result. Otherwise, youre beholden to the black box.For those of you running multiple subwoofers on either 3800, 4800 or A1H, do you feel like a MiniDSP or similar is necessary, or does Audyssey/Dirac work well for multi-subwoofer setups (I know DLBC is expected further down the road for Dirac which would definitely make a MiniDSP obsolete)?
For reference I will be running a 7.2.4 setup with the following speakers/hardware:
Front speakers: Dali Epicon 6
Center speaker: Dali Epicon Vokal
Surround speakers: 4 x Dali Rubicon LCR
Atmos speakers: 4 x Dali Phantom K-80
Subwoofers: 2 x B&W DB1 (hopefully four down the line)
Receiver: Denon X3800H
Power amplifier: Classe Audio CA-5200 (for the Front and Center speakers)
I’ve had Dirac and Audyssey. Summing to a single sub via a miniDSP has always yielded the best result. With MQX I completely bypass any EQ or time alignment to the subs.
Not sure how well the multi-sub on Dirac with Bass Control or Audyssey MQX works. But the results on a miniDSP and REW are very reproducible
