I am wondering what advantages paid DSP software such as DIRAC has over the cheaper/free options for stereo playback?
I use MathAudio's RoomEQ, which is free for use with Foobar2000. It has made a massive improvement in sound quality for me as I previously didn't use any DSP/room correction. I use it for a combined system involving either 2x Neumann KH310s or Tannoy V12s with a pair of BK XXLS400FF stereo subs. Here's the thing though : it is free and very easy to set up... So this makes me think there has to be a catch/tradeoff.
ie what do DIRAC, Rephase etc do that MathAudio doesn't?
Anyway, any info most welcome, and apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. Couldn't find much via search...
Thanks in advance.
