Other people who are interested in buying it from me mostly want to do exactly that. That's what I wanted to use it for and I did use it that way for a while. People actually do want to use a MiniDSP DDRC88A to add Dirac to their non Dirac capable system. I'll be more specific in saying, if you already own a compatible Denon or Marantz product and just want to tinker and tweak, this might be the least expensive way to do it. But, if you like everything else about the Denon and just want more tuning capabilities, this is a way to do it for $200. If you had no AVR, then just go for the Onkyo if you want Dirac. If you don't want to go through the hassle of selling yours, then you have to shell out $1000+ for the Onkyo. You might look into those alternatives from Onkyo, but you'll have to sell your AVR and buy a new one from Onkyo. But, what if you already own a Denon X4700H and you like it, but you have an itch for better room EQ. I wasn't compensated otherwise.Ĭlick to expand.You aren't incorrect. If it weren't for BEQ, I would probably use it for my subs and not have to use my MiniDSP 2x4HD.ĭisclosure: I beta tested MultEQ-X and I was able to use the program for free. I think with a filter import option from REW, it will make more sense to people who want to use it the way I'm using it. The app is definitely a work in progress. I told them it's best to act sooner rather than later. I relayed the feedback to Jeff Clark at Audyssey and they're looking for alternative ways to handle that situation. I also don't like the idea of the license being tied to a user and an AVR. I'll just say that it's more about the methods I use than the hardware I use to hold the filters. I plan to explain in more detail in my video courses. Some things with time/phase alignment, Dirac still seems to do a better job of since I don't have an option to use all-pass filters. I think MSO can possibly do a better job than DLBC for example. I find that the results I'm getting, because of my techniques, and tons of time spent in REW taking measurements and creating filters, I am able to get performance on-par or better than Dirac. I understand that many people won't use it like I did, and may not be happy paying the $200 for the other features. Now I don't have a use for the MiniDSP DDRC88A in that system because of the MultEQ-X app. Previously, I was using a MiniDSP DDRC88A with DIRAC, but that's only 8 in/out for $1100. That's it! If you consider the alternatives for a DSP with 7-channels to 13-channels of inputs/outputs (depending on your AVR/Pre-Pro) and virtually unlimited "PEQ filters" (they're actually using FIR filters with lots of taps) with full-range EQ for each channel, there's not really anything in the $200 price range. Like I said in the video, I now use MultEQ-X to use my AVR as a PEQ filter bank. To be clear, it's not only for MultEQ-X, it's just what I would recommend BECAUSE of the price. I was beta testing MultEQ-X at the time while I was writing up the procedures, but you can use any DSP you want like Equalizer APO or MiniDSP. The courses (videos) are more about DSP tuning techniques. I may offer it as a service too, but I'm not sure. I'm planning on charging a fee for the courses.
