Dirac - Queries

[caspian1985]

How is the sub

Huge step up from the previous SPL series - it’s accurate, tight, punchy and responsive. Also powerful - it goes till 11 ( haha ) on the volume knob, I have it at 6 in a 20 x 16 room with crossover at 80

11 meaning?? 11hz???

No no, volume scale is 1-11 - reference to Spinal Tap ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven )

Used audissy one. Really good. Dropped idea of purchasing durac license. My eye are now on power amp.

I just moved from a mid segment Marantz SR 6013 with the Audyssey app to separates (Arcam AV41) with Dirac Live.

The immersion, detail, panning, bass definition are far superior compared to the old setup. I am not sure yet if it’s because of the new gear or Dirac Live or both (most likely both).

Having said that, if you are on a budget, the $20 Audyssey app offers solid value, and that’s all you might just need

Audissy app is good.

I Guess you mean audysy mobile app right?

Arcam wow!! Amp??

Yes and the Arcam AV41 is a processor.

 

[Saiganesh]

Yes and the Arcam AV41 is a processor.

And amp?

 

[Nagaraj S]

And amp?

It’s the O&B 9-channel amp.

Hi all,

I recently got a Denon X3800H & had a few queries that I couldn't find direct answers to after searching for a few days. Hence seeking help here.

So here is what I am looking at -
Using Dirac live for optimisation of my HT system. I currently have a single sub but I a second subwoofer is in the books in the near future. Hence a few questions -

1 - Do you need the Dirac Bass control software along with the full bandwidth?
2 - I know Dirac sells these licences as device specific, however in the future if I change my AVR - do I need to buy another licence?

****Please note - I have already adjusted my new system with Audyssey Multi EQ iOS app and for all intent and purposes, it is doing fine. However, considering this receiver does support Dirac, I wanted to give it a try, but do not want to realise later that I bought the "inadequate version".

Thanks!

Does the AVR have 10 band parametric EQ in built for each channel ? In that case you can use REW and calibrate manually or through file upload to the AVR depending on AVR features. All you will have to invest in is a measuring mike such as Umik. Other info like speaker distance, levels, etc can be managed manually or through Audyssey. But do check manual access to the PEQ for each channel. REW can come very close to Dirac if done correctly.

I think you have not read my post correctly. i am talking about the new Audyssey one, which gives the same results compared to audyssey multi eq x when tuned correctly. multi eq x(pc software) and Audyssey one gives lots of manual controls and can make the system sound better than dirac for free (audyssey one). manual calibration with mini dsp can get you even better results.

Just read in denon and Maranz websites that audussy one is third party app. Not related to denon or audissy. If any issue arises by using audissy one they wont cover warrenty

 

[ajuvignesh]

So, I have a stereo system with one Rel T5x connected to the power amp output(to the high level input of rel). I also have Dirac live 20-20,000 Hz in MiniDsp shd studio. I have calibrated the system and it is definitely better.
There is no Dirac Bass control available for minidsp devices. Do you think aligning the speakers and subwoofer with REW first (I hope it is possible) and then running Dirac makes any difference? Or, it is beneficial only if I have dual subs?

yes, it is not a denon and marrantz product. it does not make any changes other than audyssey calibration. it is more advanced and high end calibration solution.

i bought full bundle few days ago. i bought pb 2000 pro but room was small so was having null issues. without dirac you need to do subwoofer crawl and all that . but with dirac you can put your subwoofer anywhere and it will do the job well. consider it like AI(ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE). now in my room bass feels not coming from neither speakers nor subwoofer it feels coming from walls and you cant say where bass is coming from. If you feel where bass is coming from then not good. you are having localization issues

That’s not what I’ve seen happen. After finding the right spot for the subwoofer, Dirac took the system to the next well.

At the same place i was not hesring much bass in indian blurays dirac corrected that for me

That’s awesome! I had a similar experience with Dirac. All the speakers are working perfectly together.
By the way, next time you’re taking measurements, check out this video. It might be helpful!
