Dirac Live Bass Control coming to Dirac Live Stereo This YEAR!!

This is all my assumptions though (and a chance I've done a 2+2=5!! :) ) - but yet still the lack of DLBC on the older platforms means it is starting to appear more and more likely to be correct! Which is a shame, because I'd have likely snagged a v2 on close out if I had any confidence DLBC would come to it.
FWIW, as an owner of the M10 V2, I just received the following response from NAD. While the response does seem to follow a template, I appreciate that they used the term ‘undue delay’ rather than suggesting that they’ve ‘given up.’ Although the situation is disappointing, this choice of wording at least leaves room for hope.

Dirac Live Bass Control is not available for the M10 V2. We do apologize for the undue delay regarding Dirac Live Bass Control in the M10 V2. We are currently working with DIRAC to implement their Dirac Live Bass Control into our products. They are an excellent partner and are mutually excited about our implementation. We do not have any updates to share regarding when this will be supported on the M10 V2.

Sorry to bother you with question not related to the issue under discussion, but as a NAD M10 owner do you know how to use/connect a NAD M10 (V1) to listen to Apple Music in full HD?
 
Flavio at Dirac told me that they chose not to try to control large front main speakers with DLBC (as they originally had planned), and, usually, the program will try to bypass the front speakers by introducing a high pass crossover so they don't reproduce the bass. This is not desirable for my setup.
Thinking outside the box, perhaps you can "decouple" the big bass driver from the rest of the speaker, and then drive it individually? Then it is basically the same as a sub.

No need with DL-ART. All speakers are used full range.

This is working well for you?

I know that is the theory, but Gene on Audioholics reported issues in setting up full range speakers with DL-ART... reported to Dirac and pending fix.

I had been informed that ART extended only to 500Hz

I feel the same. My big woofers are essentially the same as any other subwoofer, but just in a box with mids and tweeters also. But, with my speakers, due to a unique crossover, you cannot separate the woofers from the mids.

ART assumes a compression-free playing system at any volume during co-optimisation. If this is not guaranteed, audible correction artefacts may even be produced!
You should also get rid of the idea that ART = subwoofer. The same technology is already used in the automotive sector up to the kHz range.
I hope that the new rollout of DLART will also include a hardware check at different volumes. This is not necessary with DLRC and DLBC.

ART does use all the speakers full range as primary signal sources but it is limited in the frequencies it sends to the speakers for interspeaker bass correction. That is done only up to 200Hz 150Hz at this time.
