I was quite happy with an Integra prepro, Audyssey XT/32 and Audyssey Pro for a number of years. Several months ago, that all changed. I am now using PC/JRiver/DiracLive/ExaSound e28 DAC with a very large library of Mch classical ripped SACDs, BDs and downloads.
I respect Audyssey, and I found it to make a profound positive difference in my sound. For me, it was no contest vs. Pure DSD in my room and system, which requires speaker distance correction, bass management to a sub and EQ to sound best with Mch. Pure DSD was just all wrong for me in Mch. Even in stereo, I preferred the PCM/DSP route for best sound.
But, Audyssey is not the last word in room correction, although its power to improve a system is quite obvious in most cases. For those who have the luxury of PC rather than player playback, Dirac Live is noticeably better. A friend now uses Dirac Live with his Marantz 8801,and he finds it a distinct improvement over his previous Audyssey XT/32 with a Pro calibration. He was sold on this after hearing Dirac into my prepro. My ExaSound DAC kicks the sound up quite a few levels from there. But, use of a conventional player with this setup is not possible.
