Thanks so much for the reply. So is there a downstream impact on amplifier? Say it has 29 dB gain so does it become 19 dB gain , everything else remaining the same?The reduction is there to make room for some frequency boost.
So you can't expect to "correct" it in the DAC, since you'd probably overload it with corrected signal.
The gain will remain the same.Thanks so much for the reply. So is there a downstream impact on amplifier? Say it has 29 dB gain so does it become 19 dB gain , everything else remaining the same?
Hi and thanks for the write up.The reduction is there to make room for some frequency boost.

Doesn't the Minidsp ddrc 22d work with 32bits internally? At least this is what the specs suggest.This is purely digital path here.
The same RME SINAD is around 113dB (around 0dBFS) when looped back with analog conversion (DAC->ADC), and this is pretty impressive.
But here, it's just used as an USB/AES converter... which is why the figures are much higher in 'no correction' mode.
So the limit, in real life situation, will be the digital to analog conversion (whatever the DAC, at around -10dBFS 1kHz) , not the DSP.
The 25dB SNR decrease is in digital domain, but digital noise level is still very low after that, so the final analog-level noise will still be mainly set by the conversion, IMO.
Said differently: the correction "consumed" 4 of the 24 bits, but current DACs can only reproduce 20 bits, so that's not an issue.
This is, basically, what I wanted to check.
Then you may want to read this other postHi and thanks for the write up.
I an thinking of using the Minidsp unit's volume control as main volume control for my system. If possible I'd like to have an understanding of the extent to which this may reduce SNR and overall performance vs using a good analogue volume pot.
Many thanks!
I guess it does.Doesn't the Minidsp ddrc 22d work with 32bits internally? At least this is what the specs suggest.
As far as Dirac processing is involved, I guess result would be very similar.I am wondering how this compares to the a third more expensive MiniDSP SHD Studio.

The SHD has the capability to run Volumio and stream music, "bi directional" music playback (which I'm sure is useful in a studio application) and more I/O. Based on the specs, it looks as if the tech powering DIRAC in both is the same.
Yes, I'm aware I'm reviving an old thread but I just ordered a DDRC-22D and I'm going to need a place share. So I'll be back!
didn't understand your answer...Not that I'm aware
