As someone who worked in London City financial institutions for years I probably tried most of beers and ales available in UK. Sometimes you just feel a bit of pressure to be on at with others in terms of number of pints. Unfortunately with the time you need more and more to get the same result...

There has been million researches done the topic. There always will be about 4% of gay people in any society even in Muslim countries. Which means they just born like this. You can't have much influence on that and I don't think you should. The fear is in unfounded. If your kid is meant to be a...

Do you like how it sounds with Dirac? I have done my calibration using PC license and I don't like it. I prefer the sound without Dirac. Haven't done REW measurements yet though

I guess it is not a big deal to select number of channels in Dirac processor on PC. In most cases it just stereo anyway. But I wish Dirac to be a bit smarter. Wonder how many people have full Dirac + DLBC licences. Using PC is a bit inconvenient adding one more device in the process. Would be...

So it looks like there is a little we can do to explain transparency Dirac gives if before and after charts look similar - just based on the REW charts themselves. I am mostly talking about 500+hz range. Or maybe we should look at phase + spl rather than just spl charts?

I also thought avr should upmix. But for some reason it doesn't work for me Update: Changed avr properties in Windows from 5.1 to stereo and now avr is able to upmix. Ideally I would like the format in windows to be recognized automatically and without changes be sent to avr but there is no...

Hi, I am playing with Dirac Live trial version and noticed that for 2ch content my avr is not upmixing to 5.1. What could be the reason? Is upmixing in JRiver post Dirac processor DSP the only way?

Did Dirac suggest crossover freqs or you need to set it manually? Your Dirac is within avr so in theory could find the optimal values given it has access to all avr parameters. Playing with Dirac processor on my pc and MacBook. Managed to get sound from pc but MacBook still having issues. And...

Thank you! Interesting, Dirac reduced some dips but made some others worse. Did you set all speakers to large before calibration? @PENG, don't you have similar micro dips even with Dirac activated?

Would you mind share with and without Dirac without any smoothing?

My chart was not as good I think. Without smoothing in 20-200hz region the variation was around 6-7db with 15-40hz having the highest output. Smoothing did not make much difference (maybe 1 dB better). Above 200hz without smoothing I had a lot of micro dips which smoothing eliminated leaving the...

Thank you. I am still preparing my environment and has not even plugged my mic in. I think I was trying to check that I have sound if I put Dirac processor without any filters yet into the chain on my Mac. Tried both standalone version and plugin to JRiver. As soon as I start Dirac processor...

Will do. Now that you said I am not 100% about smoothing. I might have used one at least for above 200hz))) If your chart is without any smoothing that is actually impressive. I am migrating from Windows to my M1 MacBook and I started the free 14 days Dirac license. Having some issues with no...

Yeah, I would still like to try it. Trying to set it up on my MacBook. Unfortunately Dirac just gives you 14 days to check if you are satisfied to spend up to $849 on the licenses

Hmm. A bit confused - I have better REW charts even without any Dirac or DLBC. I start doubting it is that powerful... Or maybe my room is that good.

@PENG Do we know for sure that x3800 and x4800 will get DBLC in addition to full range Dirac Live at some point? Choosing between staying with my Yamaha a1070 + mini pc with Dirac software Vs buying one of those Denons. A bit concerned about their DAC chips and how they compare to Yamaha

DLBC is not yet available for Denon as per Dirac website

Hi, Has anyone tried DL full range Vs DLBC? A bit confused with these 2 and what DLBC gives say for 1-2 subs?

Yeah, but when changing the level to -3db at some frequency I am not changing the room or mic position or sub vs speaker configuration. 55hz is still below crossover freq 80hz and is mostly controlled by the subs. So wonder why decrease in PEQ actually resulted in increase in sound level.

Thank you. I was just trying to see how PEQ works if it works. I just put values for one band and 0'ed frequencies on all other bands assuming it means the PEQ would affect a region around one frequency. I put a negative number of DBs but in flag I got increase for some reason
