Hi
@Sonnie, thanks for the detailed answer and perspective. This is super useful. Some comments/questions here:
-what I mean with better implementation is that it can correct the subs independently, but thanks for your opinion that for music the Dirac 2.0 could be better; had not thought it in that way. I have tested both Dirac 2.0 and DLBC in a 2.1 setup. Both sounded great and were a massive improvement in my system. I did not have the chance of A/B testing, but for a 2.1 setup, I suppose the differences are minor.
-I am talking about my living room here, not a dedicated room, so the effect of Dirac is massive
-I think that CumSum summarized it well regarding the easiness of use. I started experimenting with REW recently, and I’m no expert for sub-integration. I bought my first sub only a month ago and did wonders with my system filling some dips I had. I am looking into getting a second one soon
.
a couple of questions:
1. when you say you use REW, do you use the time alignment feature and then set any eventual delay up with the SHD?
2. I understand that with the SHD the sub correction is done by REW/ears before polishing with Dirac 2.0?
3. I am not sure why you would need to boost your subs with DLBC active (in the HTP-1). When I tested DLBC, Dirac would take care of leveling the sub (or subs in your case) to the mains according to the target curve. Am I missing something?
apologies if any of the questions has obvious answers; still in my learning curve.
All the best.-
