RE: Dirac Live

Posted by cawson@onetel.com on September 1, 2020 at 02:57:30:
Dirac won't physically move your speakers.

This is what's needed to do first - adjust toe-in, height, tilt, distance between speakers and back wall - and each other, etc. Then perhaps room treatment and lastly (if your speakers are still far from linear), the likes of Dirac.

My experience is that the "life" of music is often seriously reduced if electronic room treatment is applied, particularly if this is done after the DAC, as analogue signals need to be digitised, then adjusted, then back to analogue.
