To simply pull high res audio out of an eARC capable tv in to an ARC processor one could also use something like this https://www.thenaudio.com/product/sharc-v2-8k-earc-audio-processor/

great news, I am hoping comes to mac sometime

Hi Solved with help from Flavio 🙌 I needed to run the Audio hijack virtual cable, now listening to music with 1000% improved bass

I just migrated from Dirac 1.x (which was easy, measure and run form a MacBook Pro connected to a USB DAC and play through Roon) now I have upgraded to 3.0, Dirac no longer even sees my USB DAC it endlessly searched for a AVR on my network of which there are none Clearly there is an easy fix ..... right? anyone else been through this and able to shine a light?

You could hear a difference in power cable but didn’t do much to get Dirac room correction to work which would have immense sonic benefits? Ncore amps measure close to perfect. Candidly, this is a bit hard to take seriously - it’s as if audiophile in your definition is made up of stuff that’s complex, distorted, large and hot.

There is a new NAD DAC/streamer/preamp with Dirac built in coming about 1500 USD from memory. I use dirac on a Mac plugged into a Lyngdorf 2170 , I find Dirac superior to Room Perfect but YMMV. Room perfect was always a little hot at 2kHz. i have used misiDSP too, very good and huge bang for buck. On bass is fine, takes some transparency - believe due to SNR - away so would not put it on mid or high frequencies. That being said, a speaker EQed flat or to your target curve will likely soun vastly superior to a very ‘transparent’ transducer that’s all messed up in frequency respond due to the room.

Can I run run Dirac on an iMac with the music HDD in one room, using roon and dirac on that machine, and output a corrected signal to a roon endpoint in another room? Seems like not but wanted to ask the group, thank you for the help

I can't find this addressed anywhere directly. Can Dirac Live - running on a Mac in one room - output a corrected sound filter to a Squeezebox Touch running as a streamer in another room?

Brilliant review, based on measured evidence sadly all too rare in high end who's reviews now generally mimic automotive - hype and attitude over substance (see Dan Neil from WSJ). Automotive went there because the market for reviews - content - was saturated, so the author's attitude is 'differentiating.' High end doesn't have a good excuse.

I think 'bypass' omits the correction - you're bypassing the dsp and sending and uncorrected signal through Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone downloaded these from HD Tracks? Those are "48kHz/24bit recordings mastered to 96kHz/24bit" but wanted to see if the quality justified pricing over CDs.
