For low-frequency optimization in the modal region only, there is a freeware available called Multi-Sub Optimizer (MSO) that I wrote. It's intended for users having multiple subwoofers hooked up to their system using something like a miniDSP 2x4 or Behringer DCX2496. It's available through the link in my profile. Also, there is an '_article_by_miniDSP_' (https://www.minidsp.com/applications/home-theater-tuning/ddrc-88a-multi-sub-optimizer) about using MSO in conjunction with their Dirac-based DDRC-88BM, which is an 8-channel analog in/analog out setup. Dirac is well-liked for the full-range equalization but I have not tried it. andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106634 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I didnt even care what your background was, I didn't even care if you were actually the pope or indeed someone nice in real life, I just think it's pretty plain to see which direction the willfully insulting language is flowing in this thread, as with so many others in the past. I stand by my opinion and never told anyone it was anything but. You may not be a moderator but every time a sane person would have left a thread as "we disagree then, move on", you turn it into an opportunity to practice your insults.

However, most rational people who are actually making the decisions (unlike internet trolls who are in reality nobodies and have no power or influence) ask the question "Why waste resources with formats like 24/192 that offer no reliably audible benefit?" and then the resources waste issue seals the deal. arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106593 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] DSP based room optimization
It has been part of Meridian HT processors since at least 2004. It operates sligthly diffrent , its active under 300Hz and also corrects the time domain you build several Filters with sligthly diffrent target reverb times . The nodes does not only have higher amplitude but also ladt longer in the time domain. The 300Hz cut has to do with some phycoacoustic concern with direct vs reflected sounds , the brain actually have a kind of "gating function" even in a ver reverberating room you can usually spot sound sources. So messing things much with the direct sound to achieve better reflected response mau not be perfect. I have not fiddled with mini dsp , but certainly modern products will have settings for you to fiddle with. But as usuall DSP can make a good thing better . Not save a bad system. For example realy awkward speaker placement or speakers with weird polar paterns migrh be problematic. Or trying to fill the nulls . Damping the peaks may be well and good but trying to fill the nulls with 10-20db more acoustic output places high demands on powerhandling and linearity. Robust speakers are recommended. Enjoy. I really like room corection , a bonus is that subwoofers blends in much better, the disconnect that always there is much less obvious.
