Dirac has a new CEO, new (DLBC) pricing, and some other Dirac rumors

Most established reviewers seem to prefer to stay silent, which might indicate that they don't feel it is ready for in-depth review. Dirac is definitively on to something with ART thought, they just appear to need more time. IMO they can't just cut off ART at 20hz. There is a whole octave below that can't just be bypassed.

All of the established reviewers, and many of enthusiasts do have significant extension (and associated issues) in this range that is not addressed by ART. I actually have the whole setup figured out, but once I come to 25hz, there is no cure but to roll it off which is where I would expect ART to come in and save the day.

Considering Dirac Art has been on storm audio for a while now, why isn’t there any reviews of it anywhere?

There are extensive user reviews in user forums.

Gene at Audioholic was planning an in depth review, however he found that there were some issues, specifically with large base layer speakers (towers / full range) - the more common configurations with frequency limited base layer speakers, worked fine, but his main setup has full range speakers - his issues were reported back to Dirac, and he is waiting on fixes....

This is the sort of feedback that convinces me that the reason for the extended delay, is that Dirac has decided to go back and redesign parts of the User Interface, and perhaps some of the automated integration capabilities.
