whacked drums do not blur.Īnd stray high frequencies are cleaned up to sound tighter and therefore don’t smother each other. the whip of bows across a splendidly played cello makes joyously distinct notes.
That means funky bass lines actually are funky. In forty minutes, including a cup of tea, the sound is transformed.īass is tight, no flab here. The DiracLive MiniDSP has solved all of those issues for me. And whilst judicious use of damping materials can work very well, it sometimes causes strife, and it’s hard to hide a whole wife’s body. Again, no ones home doesn’t have plenty of these. Next up are reflections from around the room, and from hard furniture, muffling the sound. It may not even be very noticeable until it’s gone. It doesn’t have to be a monster sub causing it, even £100 standmounters can and do bloom. Perhaps Americans with their three acre front rooms have few issues, but your average British living room does have issues, usually big ones. The Adams are impressive, as they bloody should be at nearly three grand new.īut, as with all hifi, the limiting factor is the room. They remain as you like them, but the room contribution is substantially lessened.Īt the moment I’m using mine with a pair of (not cheap) active Adams, but bear with me. What it doesn’t do is change the sound of your speakers. The main point is that it makes top class, quality music soooo much easier to achieve with inexpensive hifi. (There are different configuration, all of which are about £200 more expensive). The DDRC-24 is a three input preamp and DiracLive processor. I thought I’d start a thread about what it is and can do, especially for those of us with budget constraints. I’ve had my MiniDSP for ten or so weeks now.
