My sub-optimal listening room definitely needs room treatment + room correction., Right now, I'm not doing enough justification to the Focal Electras. Yes I could just do REW with IIR filters imported or Audyssey(which I was doing for years with D&M AVRs), but seems like Dirac live is more streamlined.yet to play with it, but only hearing positive things about it, compared to others. Also the Dirac processor works at a higher sampling frequency(192 Khz) on MAC, versus lower(48,96Khz) at miniDSP.,shouldnt be a big deal, but main advantage I see is being decoupled from DAC( additional options). ,as opposed to relying on downstream DSP/DAC's room correction capabilities. If I can get Dirac working on my MAC, will allow me to apply the correction filters, right at the source ( JRiver, Audirvana).

also their latest version is presently not tested with Mac OS Catalina.

Dirac Live processor for MAC Costs $349.,while its included in miniDSP. I have installed it ( both Dirac Live app + Dirac Live Audio processor plugins) and my JRiver can detect the audio plugins (VST), but for some reason Dirac seems to have gotten greedy and not exposing a trial version. Now I've also been trying to get the Mac version of Dirac Live for Studio working. Nice thing about that is the future upgradeability via MDC modules.but ruled out. NAD C 658 is another I looked at, that checks all the boxes in terms of featureset including DIRAC, Streamer, DAC,PreAmp etc, but a bunch of negative reviews all over the forums and no measurements I couldnt find.

Topping models( Topping DX7 Pro - measured better and Cheaper.fallback option), Okto research DAC8 Stereo DAC, Matrix Element ( measured better). But for $300 more, might as well buy SHD that includes a high quality DAC. Seems Airplay works too, although not officially documented.ĭid look at a bunch of alternative DACs and solutions(AVR,Integrated Amp,Stereo receivers etc), but this proved to be the most feature packed & performant, that included top of the line room correction.Īlmost bought a RME-ADI2 - measured better, fantastic feature set, Preamp, parametric equalizer, great build quality & support etc.(still could buy -)), but miniDSP edged over it, with DIRAC and streamer.Īnother option was to buy mniDSP Studio version, all digital input/output.

Network Streamer w/dedicated processor.

This is an outstanding DAC by itself, so I dont need another DAC, but just provides that option if required. So if needed, can just operate this as a streamer/DSP with Dirac and feed the digital o/p to another higher performing DAC, in the future.

Has both Digital & Analog Inputs & Outputs.

(Analog o/p 2v RMS unbalanced, 4v RMS balanced ) UMik-1 included in price(although I have this already). Reported jitter/noise below -120db, so not an audible concern.

DAC measured really well at ASR, placed at the top bracket, with SINAD of 111db and.This coupled with a power amp, will replace my Marantz SR7010.

About to pull the trigger on a miniDSP SHD to serve the duties of Streamer/DSP/DAC/PreAmp, in my 2 channel system in office.
