No, I think it was 'operator error' on my part -- I don't think that I generated my first set of filters correctly. I have since regenerated everything, and am not hearing the clipping I noticed the first time with the normal filter. The sounds is a little brighter, but that may simply be that I was so accustomed to the old ones. I should do some more side-by-side listening to the calibrated and uncalibrated filters. Turns out that when I plot the 'normal' and 'soft' filters there is almost no difference between the two in terms of freq response correction. My understanding is that the difference between 'soft' and 'normal' has more to do with the degree of phase correction. I also just read that the 'No Correction' filter just does freq filtering, with no phase correction, so I will try listening to that, too. I guess it's also possible that you might have a better instance of an ECM 8000 than mine. As I said before, I would be interested to try the same exercise with a calibrated Earthworks mic. BTW, are you using the 'normal.drc' from the Inguz site or the one included with DRC? Muski P.S. Just curious -- you say 'what I would expect'. Is that based on published measurements of your equipment or something else? -- muski SB3->Bryston BP25DA->Bryston 4B-SST->Watt Puppy 7s Transporter->Headrom Max Balanced Amp->Balanced AKG701s & HD650s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36716 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
