Good question. Also hoping to see other companies scrap Audyssey for Dirac (I.e Marantz); keeping fingers crossed

I’ve stepped away from all the updates waiting for the alpha version with the bugs worked out and sampling rates beyond 48 kHz . Are we there yet?

Don’t believe so; different algos.

Flavio, thanks for the update. Will patiently wait for the plug-in version with higher sample rate capabilities. Would also be nice if Dirac could get Marantz on board. Reserving comment for their current room calibration software.

Thanks Flavio, I think will just hold off until completed. I am so anal about the measurement process I would like to avoid a session just for 48khz and then have to redo later. Thx for keeping us posted. Glad to hear other bugs/issues in V2 were addressed.

Believe it went back to the lab. Reinstalled V1 for the time being. Think there are a few bugs to work out (only 48hkz being one of them). Hopefully in the near future!

I think I can live with this as long as we are not talking “months” before fixed. Will have everything knocked down to 48khz for the time being. Also, I think my trial for version 2 is going to expire soon. Will it actually expire or can this be ignored?

Well, this explains why if you click on “audio settings” when the processor is first opened, and then selecting a higher sample rate (I.e 96khz) you cannot open your project (s). You get an error message. Also, I am not sure we can go back to V1 b/c mine, all of a sudden, became disabled because “no longer supported”. Thanks to Flavio, I found out about version 2. Hopefully this can all be resolved in fairly short order. Flavio, thank you very much for highlighting the 48 kHz ‘only” issue. Explains a lot and now don’t feel like I am going nuts!

Ah, so you are thinking the new version does not need the slider for clipping issues. I was under the impression the beta version did not have it added yet. Would be very nice if not needed at all.

Interesting, I am using the new plugin for Audirvana and have had a similar listening experience; just can’t seem to get the sound as good as the previous version; maybe I’m just very used to the old sound and this is different. The measurement for the low-end frequencies was very different than the previous version (nothing changed in my system). Despite various target curves I have drawn finding the bass a bit more muddy (less tight). New version also does not have a volume slider in the processor to reduce potential for digital clipping; possible getting more distortion. Very much looking forward to the completed version 2 of the Dirac - plugin.

Figured out how to delete a filter once created. The “big red delete button” inside of A+: Audio Unit window when music is playing or preferences>audio units>configure. must have been exhausted yesterday to not see that.

Ok, this program is becoming like golf. You think you have it and then frustration! I have successfully created a measurement/“project”. I created a couple of filters in addition to the base filter Dirac gives you. When I open the Dirac Professor and open my project, it shows the two filters I created on the left. However, when I select either of those filters, nothing changes - it is only showing the Dirac base filter. I would like to see the shape of the filter I previously created. Clearly I must be doing something wrong. in addition, how do you delete a filter previously created. Prior version on a Mac was Libray>Appliction Support>Dirac>Filters. From here you could delete. I am not finding this on the new version. Greatly appreciate guidance on these issues!

Ok found success in making measurements and uploading the calibration file for the Umik-1 mic. Fist, would like tho thank Flavio for his amazing support (as always). I redownloaded the mic calibration file from the minidsp website. The new download uploaded nicely into the Firac Live Processor. I was unable to run the measurements inside of Audirvana. I opened the Processor as Standalone and worked perfect. Have not played with the filters yet but the measurement process was I nice improvement over the previous version(s)

Hmn, Audirvana supports the plug-ins and only using Dirac for stereo/music listening. This was not an issue in the prior plug-in version. Something seems amiss.
