  1. What I'm wondering about is that the itunes -> mac -> sound card -> amplifier is THE way to set things up on a Mac, while PC users have all this audiophile playback engines like xxhighend etc.
  2. Yes, i know. The speakers have been all around the room. The placement is OK, the ARC cleans up some resonance that I'm stuck with anyways and i use an EQ for boosting the bass a bit. This is, after all, the Klipsch Heresy, not the most average speaker on the planet
  3. Thanks for the tip Erik. I'm very keen on getting the most out of my Duet as possible. Best, KAL
  4. What VST would you (persons on this forum) recommend for changing the signature of the sound? I've looked into some different EQ's, but I'm completely new to this. What i have done is set up IK Multimedia's ARC, and it changes the sound so dramatically that i don't know what is the most correct. ARC on sounds flat and fine, but it takes away a lot of the bottom end in the sound. ARC off gives me an ugly midrange boost in my living-room that I can't ignore. A problem with ARC is that after the measurements are done is that its locked. I want more ways to manipulate the output. Now I'm trying to get some of that bottom end back using the standard Apple EQ, but it doesn't feel right..
  5. Alright, found out what was causing Audio Hijack to enable Sunflower. I was using it to hijack System Audio. Better use it to hijack separate applications.
  6. Thanks for the response, Clay. What I find a bit irritating is that Audio Hijack uses Sunflower (?) while hijacking. Thus, doing it in the software. I would think that it is possible to use the Duet as an "engine" for Audio Hijack as well. The Sunflower-output also differs in gain, which concerns me regarding the quality of the audio playback. Also, for now on and forever: Sorry about my english and my grammar
  7. What I'm looking for in my stereo is a clear and dynamic sound. Transparent with good staging and a dry and detailed bass.
  8. I would also be very interested in replacing Audio Hijack with Plouge Bidule. Anyone got a tip / guide? Or is it nothing to gain on this?
  9. Hello! This is my first post on this forum, and I'm looking for some advice. I'm currently running with the following equipment: Macbook Pro / Leopard Apogee Duet firewire soundcard Pro-Ject RPM-1 turntable / Grado PU Cambridge 640P RIAA Audio Note P1 amplifier Klipsch Heresy II speakers I'm using iTunes for music playback, hijacking it with Audio Hijack Pro and running ARC room correction as a VST - new tech meets vintage sound. I've been able to correct an ugly midrange bulge in the frequency response, but i feel I can improve the sound further. I'm not completely satisfied with the computer sound compared to the sound from vinyl. What is the best audio player for OSX? I'm guessing iTunes is the best when thinking of usability / quality. I'm also looking for "sound enhancing" VST that i can trow into the loop. Especially room correction and an EQ. Best regards, Brasse (Norwegian member)
