Good news. And yes, I have a listening room like the one Sean describes, with an open hall attached. It certainly calls for some room treatment and room correction to deal with the bass suck-out and asymmetry in first reflections etc. It will be interesting to see what we can accomplish with the Transporter + a Rane or a TacT. I look forward to comparing the results gained by using Room Correction hardware, with the results obtained with a sophisticated software plug-in for the Squeezebox or Transporter, like Hugh is beta-testing now. Hugh just sent me a new filter to try for my room and speakers, but I am on the road and I will not be able to hear the results for another two weeks. After one has solved the issues the Transporter addresses (jitter, power, background noise, quality inputs etc.) it seems that Room Correction is the final frontier to truly musical sound reproduction today. It is good that the Transporter will be able to address this with both hardware and a software approaches, and enable customers to harvest the low-hanging audio fruit that comes from solving for the interaction of speakers and the walls, floors and ceilings of listening rooms. /Danie -- daniels5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daniels5's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3969 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26077 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
