Just a follow-up for anyone who might have the same question I had regarding the difference between ARC and DiracLive. On my system, DiracLive seemed to soften or numb the highest frequencies in its calibration. The DiracLive calibration made a stunning difference in my room, in fact, it was the...

This unit is sold. I was unsure how to delete or edit the original post.

Asking $399.00 OBO. I WILL SHIP at your expense. Get me your zip and I'll get a quote for you. I bought this new. We are non-smokers and I find absolutely no flaws with this unit. I rate it a 10/10 cosmetically and as a performer. It comes in all of the original packaging with the original...

So a quick follow-up. I finally got this Anthem set up in my system and ran my DiracLive. It may just be perception or excitement having jumped ahead by 15 years worth of technology, but two observations comparing the Rotel processor to this Anthem AVR. I am using the Anthem as a processor and...

@JohnRice that helps actually. Since the Anthem gives the flexibility to assign a different audio input from the Video, I wasn't sure if there was a better option than HDMI. Thanks, as always you are quick with a solution.

So, I posted in another thread that I am finally upgrading my 20 year old Rotel processor (works great but no HDMI) for a used 2016 Anthem that offers a wide variety of connection options. For video, the clear winner seems to be HDMI, but is that true for audio? I have the option for HDMI (7...

I was seriously considering this unit to upgrade from a 20-year-old processor dating back to pre-HDMI. At the end of the day, as inexpensive as it is for what it is, I went the cheaper used route, but almost everything I have read from real-time users has been very good FWIW.

@JohnRice Here is a link to the unit I have. I also purchased the Bass Management option: https://www.minidsp.com/products/dirac-series/ddrc-88a

I have the MiniDsp DDRC 88A/BM unit which comes with Dirac Live. I only run a 5.2 set-up. So, as long as I am using separates, it sits between my processor and amp in the chain. If memory serves me correctly, it handles a maximum of 8 channels.

Hey guys and gals, I am a total noob to Anthem. I haven't received it yet, but I just purchased an MRX 520 to replace a Rotel RSP1066 that I purchased around 01-02, prior to HDMI (still going strong FWIW). Anyway, I am using a stand-alone MiniDSP with Dirac Live with my Rotel and was wondering...

I saw Jaws in the theater with my mom (I was about 10). Not long after that, I saw Psyco and between these two movies, I was scared to death to do anything involving water. Even using the toilet. Seriously, I asked my mom for those clear shower curtains so I could see what was coming. I grew up...

Thanks for that reminder Wayne. Better to just leave that part alone and tinker with the crossover point and the REW RE: the subs.

Well, Dave, that is a great question. Frankly, I don't know what the time domain integration means, or how to check that. I did do a sub distance tweak (aka a time alignment measurement) measuring the response of the subs and mains after swapping my right main with my sub moving the sub about...

So, I am able to use the DLCT using this "new to me" PC laptop and I am attaching the REW graphs of my L & R Mains with subs after Dirac Live, REW and SVS's PEQ on the app. I have some more work to do, but this set-up is producing the best sound my system has produced to date.

My pre-pro Rotel RSP-1066 is really dated. I bought it new around 02 or 03. No HDMI at all. So, if I decided to go with a new pre-pro or AVR and I set a budget of $700. I need at least 5.1 pre-outs and 4 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI out, 4K capable. I see an Emotiva MC-700 that is in range, and a...

I ended up buying a new to me PC laptop and was able to run the DLCT today finally. I have a lot to learn. Question re: REW. When I attempt to measure using pink noise with REW, it comes through the laptop speakers instead of my system. I’m sure it is a simple setting, but I am stumped. This is...

I was considering upgrading from my SB3K’s to the 4K’s. I am within a 1 Year window and they allow an upgrade during that time.

Update... working with Minidsp support, which is slow, but they are very knowledgeable. In the meantime, since my Macbook is 9 years old (still runs like a gazelle though), the thing is just not that portable anymore. It weighs a ton and the battery life is very short, so, I have purchased a...

They do offer loyalty discounts and multi-sub discounts. I think I got $100 off for buying 2 at once, plus recently when I flirted with swapping them out, they offered a multi sub and repeat offender discount, which made the swap out almost too good to pass up.

@Dave Upton or anyone that can help, I received my 88A and cannot wait to hear the transformation, but I am having some challenges. I have posed this question to the folks on the Minidsp forum and at AVS, but maybe someone here can help. When I try to run the DLCT app from the icon there is no...

Now that piques my curiosity as I have the X800M2 and have noticed a significant difference playing surround SACD/DVD-A's through it compared to my Denon 2930 (when it decides to work). Would this insignia adapter compromise the video quality I get from movies? Would it improve surround...

So, my 88A/BM is coming Friday. Based on everything I have read, and I have read a considerable amount in advance of this, the Bass Management option will give me enhanced control over the subs in my 5.2 system since I basically have 3 channels that I can use for subs. Question for those in the...

Yeah, for $125 each of these RSL's, I can't really argue with that. If I went to a 7.2 with a pair mounted in the wall behind me, these would be very appealing.

I own a pair of these: https://www.klipsch.com/products/reference-in-ceiling-speakers?model=cdt-5800-c-ii And a pair of these: https://www.klipsch.com/products/reference-in-ceiling-speakers?model=cdt-3650-c-ii The grills can be painted to match, they are magnetic, so they remove easily and the...

Just to update, since I have a 5.2 system, and after some discussion with some users of the 88A/BM, I went ahead of ordered the 88BM software to go along with the 88A. I have not received shipping confirmation yet, which I hope to get today, but it will get here when it does. Based on my...

Welcome back to NC, I am in the middle of the state in between Greensboro and Winston. There is an audiophile swap shop private group in Facebook that has some vintage gear for sale on occasion. You may also find something on audiogone.com. Good luck with your search!

Very nice Dave, thanks for that write-up. I am excited about my room correction device, thanks again for that suggestion. I will head over to that Roon forum and lurk around.

:rock:It is ordered... but what I didn't tell yall is just how much I am going to lean on yall to walk me through how to maximize my room with this thing... unless there is a YouTube video like what Home Theater Gurus did with the subs. If there is, then I will only pester yall some. :)

So no need to get the optional 88B if I keep the Mini 2x4HD then.

Dave, Thanks for pointing me to that. Based on this model, it looks like I'd be able to sell the MiniDSP and Umik-1 since it would handle my subs and comes with a Umik-1 already. That is the best option I've seen so far and slides in under the max budget. One question for you if I may. It...
